turbo_lover · 25th July 2005, 22:04

A12 - oldsmobile le caballo

A14 - i know the suspension was hydro elastic /liquid filled right ?

v1p3r · 25th July 2005, 23:25

Sorry for the delay.

A5: Connection is "I love rock and roll". Joan Jett originally performed the song, with her band, The Blackhearts. Britney Spears copied it, and gyrated around a Harley V-Rod. The V-Rod has a 60 degree V-twin, tweaked by Porsche.

Long weird connection, huh?

v1p3r · 25th July 2005, 23:28

A8. NOT Valentino Balboni. His successor, and present chief tester, is one Signor Giorgio Sanna.

I remembered, because Autocar India carried a review of the Gallardo. Being a Lambo fan, I've pretty much memorised it. And I remembered "...despite this, an expert like Sanna can just about beat the e-gear away from zero"!!!

v1p3r · 25th July 2005, 23:44

Yeah, I'll give it to you. I was looking for pianos. That's why Yamaha has tuning forks in their logo. Suzuki was more famous for its powerlooms and weaving machines.
