Lamborghini Weekend Edition – 1989 Lamborghini LM-002
/
I think it’s only right to end the Lamborghini Weekend with a LM-002. You know, we featured the Stallone Jalpa in one of the previous posts, and this is the Lamborghini dubbed the Rambo Lambo. This noticeably watermarked and framed 1989 LM-002 is for sale at a Swiss dealer.

Lamborghini Weekend Edition – 1994 Lamborghini Diablo VT
/
A yellow Diablo is the quintessential Lamborghini Diablo. I believe it to be the signature colour for them, and this 1994 Diablo VT wears it well. Toy cars, poster Diablos, every one that captured the eye of a ten-year-old kid in the mid-’90s was yellow. Complete with telephone dial wheels framed by bolts, with the…

Lamborghini Weekend Edition – 1984 Lamborghini Jalpa
/
With all the talk of Miuras and Countachs, it’s all too easy to overlook the so-called lesser Lamborghinis. But the ’80s Jalpa deserves its spot in the limelight, as it’s every bit as ostentatious and every bit as visible on the silver screen. In a career-advancing episode of Miami Vice, Phil the Shill, Phil Collins…

Lamborghini Weekend Edition – 1981 Lamborghini Countach LP400 S
/
There are people who will tell you the Lamborghini Countach is impossible to live with, terrible to drive and a pain to reverse. There are also people who will build their own Countach in their basement, if it means they can have one. Whatever your lean on this particular subject, the Countach is sure to…

Lamborghini Weekend Edition – This is why I love the Lamborghini Countach
/
In this weekend series, I’ll be posting a more detailed, more dedicated post on the Lamborghini Countach. But just as a point of note, this Cannonball Run intro scene is what drove the car into my psyche. See the full clip below.

Is It Last Call Already?: Lamborghini Weekend Edition: Some of The Lamborghinis Spotted at Amelia Island
/
Well, this olelongrooffan had originally planned on doing up some posts on my Saturday down at Homestead-Miami Motor Speedway for the PBOC weekend track days with a couple dudes we sold high dollar trailers to last fall and winter. One of those dudes, Casey, called me on Friday from just outside Cape Canaveral while on…

Lamborghini Weekend Edition – 1974 Lamborghini Espada Series III
/
It should be remembered Lamborghini unveiled the Espada as early as 1968. It was based on the Marzal show car, also a Bertone design, with lengthy glass gullwing doors and a very weird silver interior. Lamborghini had been making cars for only a few years, and the Espada already completed their line-up with a four-seater…

Lamborghini Weekend Edition – 1967 Lamborghini Miura
/
You can’t do a Lamborghini Weekend without catering to the needs of the fans of the Miura. And they’re right, as the Miura remains one of the best-looking classic supercars in existence. It’s a shape that makes no excuses for itself, kinda like 1960s Sophia Loren. But I digress. It’s a nice way to digress,…

Weekend Edition: MGB Noses Over The Years
/
After reading UDMan’s post about his experience back in January and his subsequent recovery, pretty much anything posted up will be anti-climatic but the Hooniverse Weekend Edition must carry on. So here goes. As has been previously shared with my fellow Hoons, a few weeks ago, this olelongrooffan stumbled upon a British Car Show a…

Lamborghini Weekend Edition – 1965 Lamborghini 350 GT
/
Now that we’ve gotten the 400th post 400GT out of the way, we can move back to the beginning. The 1963 350GT was Lamborghini’s first outing outside of tractor manufacturing, and it’s a striking piece of metalwork at that. This silver 1965 example, offered at RM Auction’s sale of the Don Davis Collection, isn’t one…

Lamborghini Weekend Edition – 1966 Lamborghini 400 GT
/
Just this week, Lamborghini unveiled their 50th Anniversary Edition Aventador, the LP720-4 50° Anniversario. It’s a bold yellow machine, and it suits both the tastes of Lamborghini and the people who buy them. Now, to congratulate the Italian automaker, my posts this weekend are Lamborghini-themed all around. And, there’s also a reason why I picked…

Experiencing a Stroke at 56… and never letting it get the best of me…
/
The last weekend of January, right after I put the finishing touches to this posting, I began to experience something very unusual. You see, I have been in relatively good health, with the exception of acute hypertension that I routinely ignored. But this was something rather alarming as my entire right side of my body…

Last Call- Knowing When To Give Up Edition
/
Spotted at my local You-Pull-Um yard, this Ford Falcon saw some significant efforts toward making it a custom. Chopped roof, mesh grille and ghostly flames speak to what might have been had it sadly not ended up here. Eventually it will be nibbled away until the point when the yard’s owners decide to turn it…

Fastback Friday: World's Nicest '82 Capri Up For Sale

Note: The claim in the title of this post is based on thousands tens of hours of research in this area. If you want to pick nits, perhaps it should read, “World’s Nicest 1982 Capri RS 5.0 4-Speed Is Up For Sale”. The point is, this thing is sexy sweet and you need it. You…

Orange you glad it's Friday? – 1969 AMC Rebel SST
/
By all accounts, it’s been a pretty terrible week. With Boston getting messed up beyond comprehension and Waco getting blown to smithereens, I feel it’s my duty to post some good old American metal to help alleviate the stress of whatever it is that has been going on. This 1969 Rebel SST stands proud, with…

If you’re looking for a spring event that’s one part real-life automotive encyclopedia, and one part swap meet, you’d be hard pressed to find one more fun than the Rhinebeck Spring Dust Off. Organized by the Hudson River Valley Antique Auto Association, Rhinebeck is actually two cars shows in one, with hot rods and custom…
