    Default Valentino Balboni visits Chicago-Pictures

    In August, Valentino's world tour of the LP550-2 Balboni Edition stopped in Chicago. Here's a few pictures from the drive that he went on with us in "his" Gallardo.

    This was such a cool opportunity to drive with Valentino, he told some great stories at breakfast!

    I know that was fun day, that blue lp he has is gorgeous too. Does he do any other events in Chicago or was this strictly for the unveiling?

    Valentino was only in town for the unveiling of the LP550-2 that Saturday night. I asked him when he was leaving and he said Monday morning, so I asked if he wanted to come with us on a drive that I had already planned. Cedric, the Lambo marketing agent asked the transporter to stay another day in town so VB could drive the LP550 on Sunday. On the way to the meeting spot, we had to stop to help Valentino put gas in the LP550.

    I now believe in that saying, "If you don't ask, you don't get!"
