What a great experience this must have been! I remember Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear riding in a Diablo VT with Valentino and Clarkson looked like he had just gone 9 rounds with Mike Tyson afterwards!
I would say that at 1:50 the man has balls to drift a Lamborghini between a guard-rail and oncoming traffic...But it's not really that difficult for Valentino anyways :D
No, no payment. We visited the factory with the UK Lambo club, and one guy cheekily asked Valentino over lunch if he could get a ride. Valentino said `maybe, if he could get a suitable vehicle`, he appeared a little later in the LP640 and took Mr Cheeky out :-) The rest of the four of us hung around looking hopeful when he returned, talking to him about the car etc. An hour later when it got quiet, he offered all remaining four of us a ride.
i can tell you from meeting him personally a couple of times that the company could not have asked for a better ambassador than Valentino - a true class act.
@nibbsuk Guys like that recognize a real car enthusiast a mile away, they know you´ll never forget an event like that for the rest of your life!!! Great experience!!
