The way home. All went fine apart from the terrible traffic jam in Milan. Weather in Italy was nice (around 16-17° Celsius) but when we passed through the Gotthard tunnel in Switzerland things looked a bit less interesting. Snow all around, we heard warnings on the radio that snowtires were necessary etc. Not a nice thing to hear when you are running on 325's at the rear
In the ned it was ok, the left lane of the highway was full of snow but the right lane was ok. And once you are out of the Gotthard tunnel you slowy start descending so the roads were clear after a few minutes:

We arrived at Lamborghini Affolter in Porrentruy, Zwitserland around 6PM. This is one of or even THE biggest Lamborghini garage in Europe. A part of the garage is rented by one of their customers, he stores his complete Lamborghini collection there (around 15-20 cars in total), quite impressive to say the least. This person is one of the lucky guys who gets to own the reventon by the way. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of that area.
The reason I really wanted to go to Affolter or Ital Car Design was simple: they will produce and deliver the carbon hardtop for my car as well as the automated remote doors.
A few pics of their showroom cars:

CONCLUSION:
It was an awesome experience which will be repeated when Lamborghini has it's next production models on the road.
At the Lambo factory we weren't allowed to see the Gallardo line. Most probably because they are working on something special there atm. I did see a Gallardo with a very strange exhaust setup at the R&D parking lot, something we were not supposed to see ... perhaps a V8 version? Who knows ... time will tell
