Lets be honest, you don't. And even if you did, such behaviour would often not yield anything useful. I mean, this scenario as case in point, it's not primarily a motoring forum, sure Kindai might be a member of other forums, including Lambo ones, but might not frequent them as much, or be as open about things like this elsewhere. There's no (easy) way to ascertain if a vehicle (or indeed owner) has a Section 59 issued to them so quite why anyone thinks it's of such consequence as to devalue the car is moronic. Plus, cars like this can change hands across hundreds of miles, with new owners not giving one care as to the previous owners actions (if purchased from a reputable dealer/trader for example).

oi I'm not the police. Rev anywhere you want. Just don't complain when you get told off for it.
Of course I do. Why wouldn't I? Take 2 seconds to do and can yield useful info. Years ago I was looking at a RX8 for sale, found the owners "build" thread, where he had many issues with it. So I avoided the car.
Show me where I said it would devalue the car.
There is a big difference beween desirability and value. They don't aways correlate, you know that right?Wild how you are mansplaining the purchasing habits of prospective 6 figure value car owners though.

I'm just upset that my car has a soft limiter really.
Thing is, an STO is still just a huracan and they really arent an "event" to drive like an Aventador stock. Granted round track they are monsters but still, if I was going STO, it would have to have a VF supercharger and the AWD mod done to it. And thats truely dead money you never get back.
AWD would make it less of an event.
However having driven a few Huracans in AWD and RWD format I find them boring on the road unless your happy to pedal at 130+ on A/B roads because the car simply feels numb at low speeds. Drove a RWD on track too and have to say the GT3 RS was in another league, my Exige too, the Huracans are mighty fast but faster never means better and as such I just found them boring at legal speeds. Fantastic though If your thing is driving through cities looking fly and revving in Morrisons.

Ah missed the event 
So being a nice day thought to change the battery.
Nope, being lambo it seems the bracket holding the battery down at the back can only be undone from under the car with the tray off.
None the less, a nice shot of the front end package and suspension.

That suspension setup is either genius, insane or both. I can't actually decide which. I freaking love it!

The dirt oh my...
Love it, shows it's actually driven rather than it being a bloody trailer queen...

Pushrods with rocker, race car stuff 
frees up space above the wheels to keep the nose, base of windscreen and hence bonnet and wings as low as possible.

The other thing it does is keep the delicate, expensive bits away from debris and keeps them dry. Win win. Its great!

My 911 has a battery in a similarish position. It's surprisingly hard to lift a big heavy battery that's really close to the bonnetSo being a nice day thought to change the battery.

. I'm sure it must be something to do with handling but it's still a pita to change (or was anyway).

Love this thread - I would never get to see pics/vids/SOUNDS! of such an amazing car otherwise.
It's even better since I put a certain someones whining on ignore too
My long term plan was always to dream of owning an R8 (and turbo it!) at some point but all the messed up madness in the world has probably put paid to that now

Puts a big heavy lump at the front but behind the front axle. Helps counter the weight of the engine at the back.
