Lambocatirarri
So a Jalpa, a Ducati, and a 308 pull into a parking lot. They break a few necks, and are somehow more reliable than a nearly stock Subaru Legacy Outback.

A Ferrari You Know and a Lamborghini You Don’t
The yellow car is the Ferrari that you know. It’s a 308 GTB, which we all remember from Magnum PI. You never saw Magnum PI? For those who don’t know, Magnum PI was about a private investigator named Thomas Magnum, played by Tom Selleck, who lived in Oahu and solved crimes and such, and drove around in a borrowed 308. The 308 GTB is a 3 liter, V8 powered Ferrari that replaced the Dino and was primarily driven by cocaine dealers. They made them starting in 1975, and quit in 1980. Well, sort of quit. The 75-80 models were carbureted, and the 81+ models came with Bosch K-Jetronic mechanical fuel injection and branded as GTSi or GTBi.
The white car is the Lamborghini that doesn’t immediately spring to mind when one mentions 80’s Lamborghinis. This is a Jalpa, and you probably haven’t heard of it because A) they made them from 1981-1988, which was right in the middle of the Countach’s production run and B) they didn’t make a lot of them, only 410. Much like the Ferrari it sports a V8, albeit a larger 3.5 liter V8, shoved in the middle of the car and was driven by a famous, fictitious person: Rocky drove on in Rocky IV (the one where he goes to the Soviet Union). Fun Fact: this was Lamborghini’s most successful V8 powered car.
Now that that’s out of the way, here are some more photos of the two of them:

The CAM Journal – Johnny intro
Greetings Gear Heads!
As a fellow Petrol Head I am very excited to start my time here at CAMAutoMag. Just like Trent, Michael and the rest of the gang here at CAM, I share the passion for all things automotive. There is not to many cars I do not like. I am very open minded and have owned a large variety of different cars. I like stock cars, modified cars, but my all time weakness are sleepers. A Mercedes C230 with the big SLK55 V8 motor. A twin turbo Lingenfelter Z06, A 1974 Pinto runabout with a 450hp turbo 2300 SVO motor. A 1000 Horse power Stock looking ’87 Buick Regal T-Type, A stroker motor dressed to look stock. And finally a DeLorean with a twin turbo V8 Lotus Esprit engine….brilliant! These are the things that get me excited. That is why I am so happy to be part of the CAM family. During the next couple of issues, I will touch on some memories, tell of some cars, and hopefully make you chuckle at my sometimes strange view of the automotive world. (more…)
