Black Lamborghini Gallardo Nera

I believe that this black Lamborghini Gallardo is a Nera because of the matte finishing on its bonnet and roof etc. At first when I was approaching it from a afar, I thought that there was some reflection or mud on its bonnet. It was only when I went nearer did I notice the huge 'raging bull' logo emblossed on the bonnet! Super cool!

Now this particular Lamborghini was spotted at the most unexpected place and timing. I was actually going on a day trip to Malaysia that day. So there I was waiting for my tour mates and tour bus to arrive at the Newton Circus Hawker Centre carpark.

I was a bit early, reaching there before them at around 7.30am on that Saturday morning. Needless to say the carpark was quite devoid of cars and people. It sure didn't take me long to spot this baby in the near empty carpark!

As an added bonus, just before I left the place in my tour bus, the Lamborghini driver came out from the Hawker Centre (after his breakfast there presumably). He started the engines of the Nera and drove it quietly past my tour bus (on the side that I was seated!) to exit the carpark. When he turned to the main road outside, he accelerated off but in a moderated volume of the engine sound. I think he must be tired from a Friday night of partying at St James or Clarke Quay perhaps, and was at Newton Circus for a quick breakfast before heading home to sleep!

Orange Lamborghini Gallardo III

My 3rd sighting of an orange Lamborghini Gallardo (all 3 had different license plate numbers), and the 2nd Lamborghini sighting for me at Marriot Hotel! This one was parked on the other side of the hotel service road, unlike the first one I saw there some months ago. It seems like orange is a popular color for Lamborghini owners here.

Again it was a tricky task getting this photo. My 2-year old 2-megapixel camera mobile phone could not zoom that far, so I had to stand in the middle of the rather busy hotel service road to take a quick shot before the incoming vehicles came in round a blindspot bend. At last I did it and here's the only shot I took. There was no way to take a photo of the back view of the car due to lack of space behind it.
