Lamborghini recalls it cars because of fuel fires.

[ralphc1]

I know this subject will be important to Sherdoggers as I'm certain many own Lamborghinis.

Apparently there is a problem with something in the fuel system allowing fuel to touch the exhaust when the tank is full. The repair will take one to two days to complete.

Get your Venenos and Aventadors to the dealer.

One to two days? They better give me nice rental.

Eh. Doesn't bother me. I'll just keep them in my garage.

Bro, this news is something our drivers should know about. Don't tell us.

You think we Sherdoggers drive ourselves around?

Too late for me.

Lamborghini engineers tried to take shortcuts but learned there's no easy way out.

Nobody drives these things anyway. I checked out used Lambos online and the highest miles I found was 30K on a 2007. Most are under 20K miles.

How do you get a woman home with a driver in your Lambo?

 

[Dober4]

Didn't know we had so many Lamborghini drivers here we should make our own thread to discuss these fantastic machines.

I suspect it's an overflow problem because they say it happens with a full tank. You run that engine for a minute and the tank is no longer full.

I have a lap for a reason. This isn't @Forum Sentinal you're dealing with here

@Forum Sentinal 's women will just hop on your lap and throw him a few bucks for the bus

even though, tanks are pretty contained -- unless somehow vapour is triggering it -- but goddamn, that is an oversight.

This thread is about a Lamborghini, not a Rolls.

Maybe they use a plastic tank that bulges when full and the exhaust runs close to it. I'll have to look at mine.

Even if it's a motorcycle, we Sherdoggers hire someone to drive us. We're wealthy for a reason.

I mean it's fine if you want to drive yourself, you broke animal

I remember when the old pinto's had these two bolts that stuck out behind the rear bumper and would puncture the gas tank upon getting lightly rear ended -- You know that car had to be designed on the friday afternoon before a long weekend.

The Pinto problem was when they got hit from behind, the fuel tank got pushed forward into the back cover on the differential which cut the tank open spraying gas under the car on the exhaust system. I installed many of the guards on Pintos when I worked at a Ford dealership in the 70s.

Ford also had the 60s Mustangs and Fairlanes that used the fuel tank for the trunk floor.
