Lamborghini in Calgary

[Skyceman]

Anyone know of a place to look at one up close? It's my wife's dream car and I'd like to take her somewhere where she could see one up close.

Anyone know a place like that here in Calgary?

there used to be a dealer in the base of the tower that had miscellaneous exotic cars, and friendly sales people that weren't uppidy.

i've never been to ZR but i've heard it's something to check out.

I followed a beautiful silver Murcielago on deerfoot yesterday. He turned off and went into Heritage point. So if you can't find a dealer drive around Heritage Point until you find the guy and hope your wife doesn't leave you for him.

I posted this way back, but last July on my way up to the Grand Prix in Edmonton, I drove alongside / infront / behind:

a diablo, a countach, two ferraris (not as familiar with them).

Luckilly the road was packed and they were trying to stick together, so I got the pleasure of driving with them for about 20 minutes. It's kind of scary, because you want to get real close to look at them, but at the same time, hitting them would be a nightmare.

I got tipped off to ZR Auto as well, and after checking out the sight, I recognized the Diablo for sure (it was a weird orange/copper colour).

I was gonna say ZR auto as well.. crazy cars.. weird location for such a high end dealership though

I saw a yellow one and an orange one together last friday on Memorial

Speaking of these showroom cars, I saw a freaking Lotus Elise yesterday on Anderson Rd, heading west. Unbelievable, it was orange and I had never seen one in person before this!

just like this one

Thanks for the info guys.

Speaking of seeing hot cars....I saw a Porshe Carerra GT heading out to Bragg Creek not too long ago. I'm not big on Porches but this was a nice car.

I am always astounded by the cars I see on Robson St. here in Vancouver.

Not a day goes by where I don't see a Ferrari.

Not too many Lambo's though. I guess the weather here is more suited to exotic cars

I saw a Lamborghini here a couple of weeks ago. Bright orange, and the driver was a very attractive female.

The funny thing was though, even with that nice, super fast car, I still ended up next to her at every red light in my little crap box. She might have gotten to the lights faster, but that was about it!

There's a charcoal-colored Testarossa that drives around Kensington. Looks like some roid monkey drives it.

Whatever, I can beat him in my 626 anyday of the week.

There are quite a few actually. My friend owns a black one. Retails for $75k

[bluejays]

some guy in my area's been driving around in the Elise for about a month now. Sweet looking car and probably one of the better ones bang for buck. So far the best car I've seen was a parked Enzo from California over the weekend here in downtown Toronto. Just parallel parked right on Yonge Street. Surprised somebody would take the chance with such an exotic.

That same car crashed at race city. I think it was last weekend. The wheels went from this: || to this: \\ ... didn't look pretty. I saw him on 16th ave heading back in town on the highway a few weeks ago.

Has anyone ever seen that McLaren SLR, I think I saw it way in the south on Macleod Trail around 162 ave.

Seriously? In Calgary? Wow.

[firebug]

Not in the same league as some of those cars, but my boss just picked up BMW's new M5 ('07?).

It is a decent machine.

Saw a yellow lamborghini this morning going north on Deerfoot. Very nice!

Isn't there a company where you buy a kit and turn your honda civic into a lamborghini?

hahaha a 115 horsepower lamborghini. I can't wait to race a Prius! hehe

i worked with a machinist in prince george that has one.

i showed up at work and thought, 'man is that a good kit of a mclaren f1...' but turns out it's the real deal.

i should add however he got it as a rebuild project, had to get permission from the factory head office in england and everything.

but i haven't seen a mclaren in calgary either, point of fact i've seen maybe ~50 exotic cars in 8+ years here. not a hotspot for them, despite all the cash, what gives?

I'm not sure about hondas, but I know you can get a kit to make you're Pontiac Fiero look like a lamborghini. Which is worse, I'm not sure.
