Brright orange License Plate WATALFE on a Lamborghini.... - Lateral-g Forums

rogue · #1 03-29-2011, 07:54 PM

Just breaking in the drivetrain on the R1 Mini again and came across this guy. I typically dislike lambos and their owners even more. They are car jewelry.

This guy was no exception, His custom plate said "WATALFE" and had a lambo hat on.

I couldn't let him be the only one with a 9k rpm on the highway so I said hi the way performance cars do.

Then just drove up to pasadena.. Love that drive. So many tunnels and its an old freeway,

Cruises along at 70 at 6509k RPM and temps stay below 180l

Why would you dislike someone just for owning a Lambo?? That's as bad as the Lambo guy looking down on you because you drive an "old car"... Does that mean you dislike SW?

But I digress.. is that a GoPro? Pretty cool on the windshield like that, like a cop's dash cam. lol

I'm not going to respond to your lambo questions because I've been told to "Clean up my act or stop posting" by an admin.

It is a gopro, Honestly a quality point and shoot camera has better audio, video, color, and HD. I am disappointed how muffled and off the sound is. That car is LOUD, yet you can't tell. I will be limiting the gopro to RC car usage and situations where I need durability.

I'll be seeking out a new point and shoot for car footage. The Canon Powershot series has been solid for me. I've had them since 1 megapixel and continue to upgrade. The new Canon Powershot Elph SD4500.

Every mount available for a gopro is available for point and shoots, just not readily marketed.

The gopro will be used on my quadcopter mostly. I made this the other day and may start shooting in between sessions at trackdays.

I've been trying to get some exterior footage for a while. I need to to sell it IMO.

This is what they sound like.

I have 3" exhaust though. Will get some soon.

"Clean up my act or stop posting" would probably apply to you starting this judgmental thread in the first place.

Wasn't me.. I just don't think we need devisiveness in the hobby.. Most guys with first gen Camaros don't track them.. just like most guys with Lambos and Ferraris don't.. or Corvettes for that matter.

Doesn't make them "lesser" in the hobby .. so I wasn't picking on you, just trying to make a larger point.

Personally I think the Lambo is a big bucket of Awsome Sauce..

p.s. you could probley make side money at track days with the quadcopter and the camera.. would be epic footage.
