Buddies,
Today I am going to tell you all about a brand that needs no introduction, Lamborghini. It is a dream of every true blue automotive enthusiast to experience the sheer beauty of these cars at least once. My story dates back to February 1st week, 2015. I had just recovered from a severe attack of viral fever and just as I felt well enough to leave the bed and move out, I went to see Lamborghini at the Delhi dealership. Upon reaching there, I was told to go back as no one was available and come again later. After 15 days, I went again and was promised to be reverted by their management in the dealership after I showed them our forum and requested them to allow me just two pics of the cars that were standing there at that time. I was refused the permission to do so sighting protocols. I humbly accepted and sent a formal mail to the gentleman there requesting for approval but till this day no communication was received by me. As an enthusiast friendly brand, Lamborghini certainly takes good care of all but I feel, maybe, I wasn't eligible or capable to have even just 2 pics of the cars there. I promised to myself, that one fine day, I will click the Lamborghini for sure after all whether its Lamborghini or any other automotive brand, their aim is to be friendly and welcoming towards the people and treat every customer and even enthusiasts with same passion. Now, to fulfill my aim, I got to know that Lamborghini LP 580-2 was being launched at B.I.C, Greater Noida recently. I got to know about it on last to last Friday evening. Next day itself I went to BIC so that I can see the car in flesh. Upon reaching, I stopped for the entry pass and was told, Saturday and Sunday is only for Guests and Prospective Clients so the media/general visitors are not allowed for today. After much talking and waiting, I returned with empty hands. I spoke to the managing team who took care of this event but even their best efforts did not materialize and their was no positive revert to me due to the very strict protocols of Lamborghini even for public events so what I got was a simple reply "We are trying" and finally "It is not possible". I still did not feel bad, as I understand perfectly that owning a Lamborghini in India is not every one's cup of tea but denying an enthusiast to even click a single pic is something I felt that's too much on the part of a otherwise very friendly automotive brand. Moving on, as each day passed, I had my aim still very much alive and while coming back home today, I stopped at the dealership and called their security person and told him everything and showed the card of the executive whom I had met in February 2015 there. To my horror, the gentleman had departed to heaven some months back in a tragic accident. I told the security person to get me to speak with any other person there so I met yet another humble guy and I requested him to allow me to click just one picture each of the available cars. He said, it is not possible and max you can do is, click pics from outside without coming in. I accepted his view and did take some pics from outside. Maybe, today my aim hasn't been fulfilled fully but i'll keep trying and with the support of our forum and all of you, I hope, Lamborghini India, finds me suitable/capable enough to let me represent myself at their events in future and further make our forum proud. Below are some pics taken from outside the showroom today.
Some pics of the Lamborghini LP 580-2 sent to me by the gentleman today from Lamborghini dealership. Thanks to you my friend for being so kind enough.
A pic of yet another awesome Blue Lamborghini sent by this gentleman to me. It is from Lamborghini Mumbai
After today's experience, I well realized one thing i.e no matter how difficult a certain aim is to achieve but no-one should ever give up. I do wish that someday I'll be standing next to a Lamborghini in a pic and will make all of you proud. Till then, My journey of automotive passion, goes on!!
