Hmmm...I don't know mang...sounds really complicated. How is security around your Company car at night at your house? I don't think I need all that horsepower...340 should hold me just fine.

Got to install a DVD system in a 2005 A8L W12 last night. DVD with 2 Headrest monitors. Was a shame cutting that great leather. Comfy car. Stupid parking brake would not release though. The LED standlicht where way cool but for 150,000 euro you would think the damn thing would come with Xenon fog lights. Man that thing had to be a wiring nighmare with all the little lights everywhere. The cooling seats were interesting to look at with the covers off. Funny the whole car smelled of money but that trunk just said cheap. The wine cooler was interesting. The fake wood trim lived up to its name, fake. The suspension was way cool, air adjustable like on the Toureg. Didin't really get a chance to look under the hood or under it.
Hope the same guy brings in the Galardo Friday so I can play around in it for a little. It is a week over due. Ah I love cutting up other people's exotic cars. Well time to polish up the hole saw.

Sounds like you need to do some advertisement for the 1/4 and AutoX there ...  Would love to see a Gallardo on either track!

Same Car Stereo shop I have been at for the past 9 years. http://www.car-com.de The best was when there was a DB9. All these cars are being exported east. Had to do 2 matching Range Rovers with about 15,000 of kiddy entertainment in them each. We have had about 20 Galardo's in the shop in the past 18 months. Why they do not install a factory camera in those damn things I have no idea. It is the reason they come in. 1st the park sensors and then normally a week or 2 later the rear camera. They normaly blame it on their wives.

You put it where the customer wants it. Plus the bumper impared the view if place that car back. The honeycomb mesh is too tight to get a good clear view. That camera is a fish-eye and is very clear. That is the car from Luxemburg and the flower pot imprint.

So you think you could help me setup some video cameras in the GTO's front bumper?

Hell yeah Chase Cam is the way to go. Yeah get the cameras and we can do it on a Sunday in the shop in Mainz-Kastel. Easy work. Make sure you get a I-Pod video or similar to record the video. Real easy hook-up.
