Title: Lamborghini-Batmobile Fiero?! Post by: MacPhail on August 22, 2006, 07:50:04 pm eBay Link (http://cgi.ebay.ca/Replica-Kit-Makes-FIERO-GT-ALUMINUM-KIT-CAR-LAMBORGHINI-BATMOBILE-SPARE-FIERO-GT_W0QQitemZ270021535339QQihZ017QQcategoryZ7251QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem).
Vehicle Description You will find many kit cars on ebay. Each one built to replicate or imitate 355's or Diablo's. This is not the case here. This car has taken on its own life. It began life as a GT Fiero V6 (Very Fast). The first owner took the reins to produce a Lamborghini Countach. He sold it to another man with many Countach kits; he ultimately got bored with it. Crossing race car ruggedness with low sweeping Lamborghini lines this car has evolved into what you see here. Hand crafted out of aluminum with a custom triplex windscreen. Over the years it has attracted a lot of interesting looks as 1 of a kind. If you want to do something different I would build off of current trends. If you look at the latest Batmobile driven by Christian Bale then you will see the same rugged hard metal look of this kit. Paint this car flat black, tint the windows and add a few triangular aluminum panels and you have yourself the 1st Batmobile replica of this generation. Wild, razor edged, and rugged. The car has been sitting for a while in a nice garage. It may have engine trouble so I will throw in another Fiero with the deal. I guess that's 2 cars for 1 price! Anyways I think it has potential so if you have the time, make something cool out of this thing. ;D (edited by SPAHS, Silly People Against Horizontal Scrolling) Title: Re: Lamborghini-Batmobile Fiero?!

Well, he had me 'till It began life as a GT Fiero V6 (Very Fast). Just the type of thing to rid my mind of thoughts of that JAH-LAPP-ENNO!!!!!!!!!! No Shit! I'm tempted... Not that thing, but the Jalapeno (or my rendition of the idea) O0 Title: Re: Lamborghini-Batmobile Fiero?! Post by: MacPhail on August 22, 2006, 09:37:28 pm Gary.

So. How are you getting down there and bringing back the Lambo-Bato-Fiero?! :D Sounds like a Club Trip in a van/suv. Cheers, Derek Title: Re: Lamborghini-Batmobile Fiero?! Post by: lercs on August 30, 2006, 01:10:41 am i didnt think about it, because i saw it said it ships to canada only.. didnt really look at the location..
meh its only money right? Title: Re: Lamborghini-Batmobile Fiero?! Post by: MacPhail on August 30, 2006, 09:20:36 am They may give you a hard time at the border. If they insist it is a "kit car", you might not get it across.
Cheers, Derek Title: Re: Lamborghini-Batmobile Fiero?! Post by: dguy on August 30, 2006, 09:43:42 am lercs if you haven't done it (importing a vehicle from the USA) before, I would suggest reading the literature that both Transport Canada (http://www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety/importation/impusae.htm) and the Registry of Imported Vehicles has available online, or calling them.
Word-of-mouth says that if you jump through all the hoops ahead of time, getting the cars across the border will be relatively painless. If OTOH you just "show up" on Hill Island with the cars in tow, you can expect to have a loooooong day. Title: Re: Lamborghini-Batmobile Fiero?!

Since it is more than 15 years old, bringing a kit car across the border is admissable. Cheers, Derek Title: Re: Lamborghini-Batmobile Fiero?! Post by: MacPhail on August 30, 2006, 10:17:54 am it said it ships to canada only.. didnt really look at the location.. 7+ hour road trip from Kingston. ;) Cheers, Derek Title: Re: Lamborghini-Batmobile Fiero?!

Just let us know so that we can observe people's reactions! :D Cheers, Derek Title: Re: Lamborghini-Batmobile Fiero?! Post by: lercs on August 30, 2006, 07:01:42 pm well i would probably make it not wierd looking..
spend hours and hours doing basically nothing to it.. if i get it.. seems to not really be responding Title: Re: Lamborghini-Batmobile Fiero?! Post by: lercs on August 31, 2006, 05:55:19 am i wont be taking this fiero, as the second fiero GT included in the sale is appearntly also a dud ,the guy told me it runs but wouldnt make it on the highway.. so what good is it, if i cant put the two together to at least get one running car..
Title: Re: Lamborghini-Batmobile Fiero?! Post by: MacPhail on September 02, 2006, 03:43:30 pm What's the latest on the Batmobile?
Cheers, Derek Title: Re: Lamborghini-Batmobile Fiero?! Post by: lercs on September 02, 2006, 04:21:58 pm read the post above yours
Title: Re: Lamborghini-Batmobile Fiero?! Post by: MacPhail on September 02, 2006, 06:06:45 pm read the post above yours I was hoping you had changed your mind. I saw the Top Gear episode today that has the "new" Batmobile (well...it was an old Top Gear I hadn't seen), and having never seen the latest Batman, I can now see how closely the car you "won" resembles real deal. The Black Knight won't be at our GTG's I guess. :'( Cheers, Derek Title: Re: Lamborghini-Batmobile Fiero?! Post by: lercs on September 04, 2006, 11:25:38 pm well without getting the other car as a running car, it wasnt worth my money
