SYDNEY - Lamborghini Club NSW Sydney Drive to Centennial Vineyards at Bowral on 28 Sept 2014

Lora Christelle Lim going bananas on yellow Lamborghini Gallardos

SYDNEY - Lamborghini Club NSW Sydney Drive to Centennial Vineyards at Bowral - I woke up super early in the morning to get ready as I was feeling extremely excited about going for this Lamborghini Club NSW Sydney drive as the President - Mr John Edwards told me that there was going to be a huge turnout with more than 30 cars and I was not disappointed. It was great that other car models were allowed to join us Lamborghini car owners as well. Clearly, the Lamborghini Club is not snobbish in any way and is extremely friendly, welcoming and inviting towards other car enthusiasts. I was dressed in my new bright yellow shorts to match the colour of my yellow Lamborghini Gallardo Spider together with my lovely Louis Vuitton Epi leather Alma handbag :) Thank you sister Sara Shantelle Lim for giving me a gorgeous LV scarf to tie on the bag too!

LIVE VIDEOS -  I reminded myself that this time, no matter what, I must remember to take live videos to capture the amazing moments of driving in a colourful convoy of Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Aston Martins, Audi R8, Panteras etc. Check out 8 awesome Youtube videos I took during this drive :) I must admit it was extremely difficult for me to take good videos as I had to stretch out my hands really high and zoom in on the fast moving cars around me. I don't have very long arms you know! Furthermore, the wind was blowing very strongly and my slim and thin iPhone was almost blown off my hands as we were traveling at high speeds on the Highway roads. It was a beautiful sunny day for us car enthusiasts and we enjoyed the drive tremendously. Special thanks to Mr John Edwards for organizing this!


AUBURN - Upon arriving at the first meeting point at D'elegance Showroom at Auburn, there was already quite a number of cars. It was great to meet new people again and I must say that so far, all the car enthusiasts I have met are extremely nice, sincere and down to earth people. I enjoy talking to the different people and take photos of their precious cars. If you noticed the car plates in my photos, they do reveal individual characteristics of their very own car owners. Such as the car plate 'H3art" actually belongs to a Cardiologist! Very interesting indeed! I am still wondering if the car plate "A" actually refers to the Apple fruit or the Alpha male? *winks- You guys wouldn't want to know what my signature car plate means as it is totally hilarious!


HEATHCOTE STATION - When we arrived at the second checkpoint in Heathcote, it was a splendid sight to see a beautiful lineup of more Lamborghinis and other cars! We quickly drove off as the surrounding traffic around us were slowing down to take photos of our cars and causing a huge traffic jam. We drove towards Berry for light morning breakfast. I seriously needed a coffee!

BERRY - At this third meeting point, we stopped for morning breakfast and coffee at a small cafe. It was great to watch many children from this local town getting excited about taking photos with our cars and it was always nice to see that our beautiful cars were able to put smiles on other people's faces especially the little kids. Most of the children were fascinated by the Black and Green Lamborghini Aventador as it reminded them of Batman or Green Lantern.

CENTENNIAL VINEYARDS, Bowral - Our final destination was a relaxing and delicious lunch at Centennial Vineyards in Bowral. It was a 3 course meal and it was great catching up with fellow friends. Do take a look at the customized Lambo Menu! We also took a group photo at the end together on the steps before heading home. I must also hereby confess that I sneakily exchanged my pudding with someone else's cheesecake :X Hopefully he wasn't too mad!









VIDEOS - Here are 4 out of 8 videos I took. You can find the rest on my YouTube. Just Google or Youtube search "Lora Christelle Lim"

SYDNEY - Lamborghini Club Drive to Burragorang Lookout and Picton by Lora Christelle Lim


SYDNEY - Lamborghini Club Drive to Burragorang Lookout and Picton - I stayed overnight at Grand Mercure The Hills Lodge which is a quaint and cozy boutique hotel in West Sydney so that I can wake up early in the morning at 6am to arrive on time at 8am for the Lamborghini Club drive! President of the Lamborghini Club - Mr John Edwards has kindly organized this amazing drive and there was an awesome attendance. It was great to meet fellow Lamborghini enthusiasts and we enjoyed a beautiful drive along the roads at fast speeds. I am still waiting for Ben C to send me the videos taken during the drive so will update again soon.


BURRAGORANG LOOKOUT - We first met at Eastern Creek and later drove in a colourful convoy towards Burragorang Lookout where there was stunning and breath-taking views of Warragamba Dam. The gorgeous view from the high vantage point where we stood allowed our eyes to feast on the visual spectacle of vast spans of water and greenery. While marvelling over Mother Nature's great beauty, we were told that the huge body of water far below provides 80% of Sydney's water supply. Thank God for the beautiful day as the sun was shining brightly in the skies and there was no rain so I could drive my Lamborghini Gallardo Spider with the top down. Before leaving, we also took some amazing photos of the various Lamborghini cars :)

PICTON - Our final destination was a relaxing lunch at Picton. It was great getting to know and making new friends with new Lamborghini Club members. I managed to persuade a few friends I made at the Lamborghini Esperienza 2014 in Melbourne's Phillip Island to come for this event and they finally joined the club as new members! Mr John Edwards was very pleased with me indeed!

MELBOURNE - Lamborghini Esperienza 2014 @ Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit


MELBOURNE - Lamborghini Esperienza 2014 @ Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit - It was a great privilege to be specially invited by Autosports Lamborghini Sydney to attend this exciting event - The Lamborghini Esperienza 2014 which was held at Phillip Island famously known for their penguins. The last time I visited Phillip Island was to take a look at the penguin parade. This time is entirely for a different experience! This event was highly exclusive as everyone was looking forward to take a look at the new release 2014 Lamborghini Aventador models.


Lamborghini Esperienza 2014 - It was a beautiful day with sunny skies and light winds. I woke up super early at 645am, had a quick hotel buffet breakfast then rushed down to the circuit filled with excitement. I've always wanted to experience the feeling of being in a Lamborghini Aventador and it was like a dream come true :) It was great catching up with Brand Manager - Yvonne Buchreiter from Autosports Lamborghini Sydney as well as meeting Michelle Yow from Singapore who is the Marketing and PR Manager for Southeast Asia & Pacific for Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.

Upon arrival at the circuit, all guests were greeted by the magnificent sight of 5 beautiful Lamborghini Aventador - 4 Coupes and 1 Roadster (Convertible). Everyone was in awe as the Lamborghini Aventador is a beautiful machine and each car costs approximately AUD800,000 to AUD1 million dollars depending on what options are included. After all, it was really rare to see or find Lamborghini Aventadors in Australia as they are pretty new and very expensive. The VIP guests invited were existing Lamborghini owners or new owners who have placed orders for the newly launched Lamborghini Huracan. It was a huge event and guests have took time to fly down from Sydney, Queensland, Perth, New Zealand etc. to Melbourne just to attend this special event. It was a unique and special event created for guests to experience the 2014 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 up close and personal.


Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit - Home to massive motor racing events such as the MotoGP, World Superbike Championship, V8 Supercar series etc. this circuit is renowned to motor enthusiasts all around the world. More info at their website http://www.phillipislandcircuit.com.au/


Lamborghini Squadra Course - A specialist team within Lamborghini's R&D department dedicated to motorsport which includes the GT3, the super Trofeo series and a customer driving program. Lamborghini has booked the circuit exclusively for the Lamborghini Esperienza 2014 event where world renowned racing instructors which includes the Lamborghini Factory Drivers from Italy were specially flown down to teach guests unique Lamborghini Driving Experiences. Before we hit the tracks, we attended a presentation and briefing by the highly skilled Lamborghini driving instructors.


While being adventurous is the key ingredient to achieve great driving experiences, safety is of utmost importance and we were advised to put on the cool-looking Lamborghini Helmets and to wear covered shoes. We were advised to keep within the speed limits and not to over steer too much.

Putting on the Lamborghini Helmets 

Driving in the circuit in a Lamborghini Aventador - Believe it or not, the driving instructor Marco specially flown down from Italy was able to drive above the speeds of 240 km/h only using 1 hand on the steering wheel, while his other hand was holding on to the radio to communicate with the guests following behind him. Everyone thought Marco's driving skills were impressive if not incredible! He was extremely calm and professional! Talk about grappling the "beast", Marco was the man!




Marco took the lead in the front in a silver Lamborghini Aventador with 2 other cars who followed closely behind. Guests were invited to take turns to sit beside Marco as a passenger while he provided clear instructions on how to drive on the racing tracks. Other guests were also invited to drive in a Lamborghini Aventador alone in the circuit following Marco's lead.


The Lamborghini Aventador is an incredible super car which is undoubtedly one of the very best in the super car hall of fame. Guests took turns to drive on the tracks to experience the true wonder of the Lamborghini Aventador in full action on the Corsa mode. I love how the interiors felt like an airplane's cockpit with its stunning control console and how the START/STOP button was hidden underneath a red flip cover. With a V12 engine, the Aventador is able to reach 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph) which highlights its aerodynamic strength. It also has an intelligent rear wing which extends only when needed at mid-range to high speeds. I learned that when driving on the racing track, it is important to identify the exact right time to hit the brakes (braking point) when taking sharp corners then to accelerate in a straight line at an angle to speed up (apex point).



Guests were also encouraged and invited to take part in a variety of driving exercises which includes full track laps, lane changing, dynamic handling, slalom, turning sharp bends, driving through obstacle courses which includes wet road surfaces. I was screaming in the car when I was invited to be the passenger while the instructor demonstrated his drifting skills. We were spinning in circles on the wet and slippery road surfaces. Very thrilling and exhilarating indeed! What an experience!






Overall, I was delighted and overwhelmed by the adrenalin-pumping racing experience. Nothing defines power, beauty and speed quite like a Lamborghini Aventador as it is my ultimate dream car. Drivers of the Aventador will be impressed by its superbly powerful engine, accurate steering, excellent stability, overall balance, performance and handling.  I wish to conclude that the Lamborghini Aventador is a masterpiece of sheer magnificence and driving pleasure. Thank you Autosports Lamborghini Sydney for this amazing experience!
