Delightful.  I'm sure you have some more to show us.

Stuny, thank you very much. I do have a couple more that I will post in future.

To me, Muira was the prettiest car Lambo ever made. Then, all the designers fell into a kind of fantasy that is not very appealing to my taste.

Sure my favourite was the Miura, but followed by the 1st series Countach LP 400 (without fins, wider fenders etc.) and Urraco LP 250/300. These two were very modern and clean designs in it´s time. So modern that even today people don´t see them as "classics". Still have the brochures they sent me when I was a little boy.

To me, also.

I had a little toy one as a small child.  Lost it on a beach in Northern Ireland.  Would not leave the beach until it was found - which took quite some time.

Count me in as another fan of the Uracco. The Espada as well. I'd much rather have either of those than even an LP400. The Miura, of course, is a 'given'.

When I was a student in the early 80s in London, my landlord had a number of interesting cars sat on the driveway including 2 (!) Espadas.  He let me drive one around the local area one day, that area being Crystal Palace and South Norwood.  Which was interesting.

For those into Lamborghinis, and who havent seen it, I heartily recommend 'Tyrell's Classic Workshop'  on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/c/TyrrellsClassicWorkshop )  Iain is a fantastic bloke, and a UK based world expert on the marque. He services and restores some amazing machines (not just Lambos).  He even found and verified the original "Italian Job' Muira. 'Harry's Garage' (https://www.youtube.com/c/Harrysgarage ) also worth a watch and crosses over a bit with Iain's channel.  Harry Metcalf used to own Evo Magazine and has an Espada and a Countach (which Mr Tyrell looks after).

I use that same combo a lot -- CL & 18-56.  What it can do is really impressive.  I also do a lot of car shows here in the Las Vegas area, and unfortunately they are usually in parking lots or indoors where the lighting is not the best.  I'm thinking of getting a soft grad ND filter for the high contrast scenes I encounter on a regular basis.  I know Urth makes them in 49mm and 46mm, and it might be worth a try.

I always very much enjoyed 18-56 that I believe has been very under-rated. It is not fast, but very sharp with a size that is ideal for traveling.

This is an annual event that lasts only the weekend in the fashionable district of Miami. Shooting cars in the parkings is always very hard because of all the mess around and cars that are not very attractive.

I have several filters from my film days, but realized using them doesn’t really make much difference and I can control the colors much better in Photoshop. 
 

Keep shooting , regards,

Louis
