Rick, thanks for putting this together. It was my first time to C&C and I was blown away at the display and assortment of cool and exotic cars. It was also nice to meet some Mud Members, Saliya and 91 OG LC and his pristine LX450.
Here is a sample of some of the cars this morning.

Thanks for the great photos Frank!!! It was great meeting other 80 enthusiasts. I was surprised how much attention our rigs received from the crowd. Let's plan another one Cars and Coffee event plus a quick run to Trabuca Canyon.

OG 91 LC - it was great meeting u this morning too. I love your unmolested "Cherry" LX450. You need to buy yourself another 80 and keep that LX at the Toyota museum!!!

I will try to talk someone over there at the Museum. If they are cool with it. I'm cool with it. Getting another 80? Wife not cool with it. We will see. For the moment. I'll enjoy it a bit longer.
What do you guys think of this LAMBORGHINI

What a Piece of
I think it has bling damage multipliers and the body kit won't stand a chance in the rocks. Can't believe someone bought an overpriced H2.
I would take this over the Lambo any day of the week!
That's an LM002 with the v12 from the Countach. Super rare and pretty capable for its time. You could buy several restored vw's for one of those.

lol very true. Of course, some people bought Pontiac Azteks so there's probably at least one buyer out there for it.
I agree that Lamborghini Truck is Uuuuuuuuugly
Here is a write up from http://lamborghinitruck.blogspot.com/ I love the last part of this write up. (they didn't even know what they had)
The world knows Lamborghini for their sleek Italian sports cars. But what many people do not know is that the Italian car company once experienced with an SUV. The Lamborghini Lm-002 was made from 1986-1993. Named the Rambo Lambo , 301 LM-002′s were made.
The LM-002 was originally meant to be for the US Military. The original model, the Cheetah, had a Chrysler engine but the prototype was destroyed. The same for their next attempt , the Lm-001.
Then came the LM-002. The first civilian model came with a roof mounted stereo system, leather seats, power everything. A very nice luxury SUV. The tires were offered in 2 forms. Pirelli was asked to make everyday use and sand only.
This version was also marketed toward very wealthy Saudi sheik because it was pretty much the best vehicle on sand at the time. Also, it having the same engine as a powerboat was definitely a plus.
The military version was basically the same without some of the luxuries. It did feature mounting points for machine guns though. The Saudi Arabian army ordered 40 of them, all with a hatch on the rear seats. Libyan leader also ordered 100 of them for use in Libya’s military.
In 2004, the American Military actually found one in Iraq that belonged to Uday Hussein. Unfortunately they used it to simulate a car bomb, without knowing its rarity or value at all. It was completely destroyed in the test.
