Thanks for sharing the pic, the Wandering PuristS is one lucky dude! -MW

Have never been proviledged to get behind the wheel of one but I bet they feel so planted even at insane speeds.

i recognise those stands too. cheers,dreamer

...unless Wandering Purist got special track time.... Have you attended any races there, Andrew? I've been to MotoGP at Sepang, they were loud enough from that stand. I don't think my ears could cope with the racket F1 must put out at that track

but I am half deaf anyway LOL.

Hi, Ben, I heard the WanderingPurist finally managed a 2:23 lap, after he FINALLY figured out how to get the damned car out of Strada and Sport AUTO mode... (as in Automatic mode...DOH! ) From what I've seen, the Avantador is a mighty impressive new produ...  

Ben and I suspected you were at Sepang trying out the Aventador.After all MTF did a post about you being in that region.Tell us more about the car. cheers,dreamer

...a laptime from WanderingPurist! What tyres did he use, and what did they look like after the session? [F1-inspired pushrod suspension....or Enzo inspired pushrod suspension.... Provocation aside, I understand the some of the rudiments of suspension and... 

if he made a mistake, since, from what I've come to discover, that is a pretty good time for a first timer on that track and for someone who's not been on a track anywhere for well over 20 plus years! Lambo had the delivery spec street tires on the Avanta... 

....just like riding on slicks, is a different kettle of fish to even very high performance tyres. Easy to cold-tear them on one hand or overheat and blue them on the other. As I said earlier I'm far more familiar with the slick on bikes than cars (the la... 

A very beautiful engine indeed. Polished screws even! And the patterned carbon fiber gives off its own rendition of Geneva stripes. It's good to know that this car is as beautiful inside as it is outside. Very impressive lap time! Professionals driving th... 

Haven't been there, but the canopies remind me of Sepang too.

Looking forward to more pics, if you got'em.

had a little track time. The Avantador looks like a Mean Machine. JerryW This message has been edited by JerryW on 2011-09-21 18:12:59

he has some interesting seat of the pants comments to share from behind the wheel...

And the WanderingPurist tells me he has some highlights and commentary coming This message has been edited by ED209 on 2011-09-21 23:11:58...

So cool that the WanderingPuristS got to be trackside to watch! -MW

that is beyond even the abilities of the WanderingPurist and Lamborghini, unfortunately - he would have had to have been both inside the second car (the Avantador) steering, and trackside, at the same time... Something so zen about the idea, though...movi... 

maybe he's got a twin! -MW

By the way Thomas, I gather you enjoyed the fish and prawns at the palace last night . cheers,dreamer

we should have let you know earlier; it's only a 6 hour plane ride, right? ;-) Cheers, mate.

The car looks fantastic! Can't wait to actually see one in person!

Please update with the driving report. I wonder how would the Avantador compare to the MP4-12C?

Hope that the WanderingPurist can give us all a in-the-drivers-seat report soon. Regards, ED-209

he already has some very clear impressions he wants to share, it's just nearly impossible to put it all together with all the commitments. Doctor Ming had a great idea further up in this thread - if anyone can come up with a way to be in two (or five) pla...  

Cannot wait to learn more about Avantador. JerryW

Have fun out there!
