Came here to say this. I found him since his first ever uploads but what really got me started watching every video as soon as they drop was the orange Lamborghini. I’ve watched every single video since then. I 100% agree with his decision to do what he is doing to the car. It’s literally a priceless piece of sentimental machinery to him so even though he has to buy a whole parts car just to get it back to stock it’s totally worth it to have his OG car back to enjoy forever. Really hate that the car got destroyed by the turbo shop but it’s kinda strange the way it turned out. Almost as if the car was like “don’t change me! keep me the way I was to preserve my nostalgic memory”

Hey strad I was the guy you saw in the ranger the other day… Man that aventador is sick in person. I saw your last video and saw how different the one wheel was on the 812.

the 2nd generation gallardo is a 5.2 liter v10 strads car is a 5.0 liter the 5.0 liter is the worst engine to add superchargers/twin turbos while the 5.2 liter is a really good reliable engine also used in the audi R8 (v10) and the huracan so really superchargers are also the same as any twin turbo kits for a 5.0 liter v10

So glad were coming back to the OG would be amazing to see her back in action. Honestly putting it back to stock is the best factory Reset, plus with doing so if you decided hey i wanna make the best worst financial decision Round 2 you could dump 50-60K by going to a shop that's guaranteed to treat her with respect hypothetically like Gintani. At least if you did decide later on you'd be back to OEM without all the headaches and legalities involved to back botched work. When in doubt STRAD figures it out! your a legend James

I'd LOVE to see the Gallardo back to stock. When you picked up the Gallardo, that's the first video I ever watched on this channel. I haven't missed one since. It feels like this car really 'started' your KZread career. Not only do I love the Gallardo in general, I love this spec and the adventures you've had with it. It deserves to go on new adventures. Good luck on the conversion back to stock. Can't wait to see it on the channel again!

Whatever he ends up doing with it, will all love it! Be honest, the orange Lamborghini was the turning point for his channel. I know the TT was a starting point but once he lost his job and put 110% into YT and took the coupe everywhere and shared it with us! I think if it’s doable, he should gut all the mechanical parts ( part it out) and put the lambo on the wall, what wall not to sure, but definitely should be displayed and remember that moment this Lamborghini created all of this.

So glad your going to bring the OG back to life. Behind pops lambo it’s my favorite car you have. Glad it’s not only going to be mechanically restored but also some nice and new upgrades.

Option 1. Use it as decoration Option 2. (Better one) Use it as a ultimate project car and dump a wild motor in it that doesn't have to be v10.

Just throwing it out there James, I've personally never seen anybody ever do a Lamborghini, or any mid-engine vehicle for that matter, with a Dodge HEMI engine, maybe a spare Demon crate somewhere or some donor Hellcat, maybe even a Hellephant like the one you put in your Gladiator a while back, not even entirely sure if it's possible? Mating the engine to the trans/older electronics and finding a suitable trans for the build and all that jazz. But I'd say it'd be worth a go to at least see if it's possible, and if all turns out successful, you'll end up with a killer creation that you could show off whenever the next SEMA show is, I don't even think you can argue the fact that this wouldn't be super cool if it ended up working out properly 😂 Brownie points for bagging yourself a Spyder too, can't even imagine how something like that would sound under an overpass with the roof down 😮😁💛

Put the orange Gallardo on the wall with the engine (sans turbo kit) and transmission on the display ledge by the stairs. It defines your journey in a way no other car can, which makes it perfect to be the car immortalized on the wall. Then just sell the yellow car. Side note: putting the yellow car on the wall and keeping the interior dusted would be a nightmare.

You haven't lost your mind, James. Been watching since all you had was the Gallardo. Don't remember which of yours was my first video, but I was subscribed and remember watching "money can't buy you happiness, but I'd rather be broke and crying in a Lamborghini than a Honda Accord". Or something like that. When you got laid off then drove home in the Gallardo "oh wait, I'd better slow down, I actually can't afford a speeding ticket" 😂

Don't feel bad man! Even Mat Armstrong did the same thing to fix Marcus Rashford's mansory Rolls Royce. I seriously can't wait to see the OG back on the road! We don't need the Twin Turbo kit when we have the greatest sounding v10 in the back!❤

I am am OG subscriber. I’ve watched every single video since your buying a lambos at age 26 video. I mean, EVERY SINGLE video. So seeing this brings me joy. I’m still driving my 1st car (VW polo) and this April makes it 4 years. It’s coming to its end with so much wrong with it where it’s not feasible financially anymore. I took a vow for years that I won’t ever sell this car because I too have so many emotions and memories with this car. I waited YEARS as a child until I could drive. The day i got a driving license was a sad day because it meant no more driving lessons, and now I need to save up for a car. I saved for over a year and a half to buy my car. And recently I had to come to terms with the fact that I may just need to get rid of it. But after seeing this, and remembering your story from all these years I just can’t help but think to persist, get my business properly off the ground and pay to keep the car. Hearing your plans to get the gallardo back, and buying a parts car. Yes you’re crazy. But you’re my kind of crazy because sometimes, logic is boring. And emotional decisions will bring you lifetime of joy. You’re a genius. Lots of love

He said that once he is 16 and can drive his own car, he is going to go on a roadtrip to go visit the Stradman! This all came from a 5 year old who only calls Lamborghinis by “Aventadors”. When I tried to take a video of him, he laughed at me and said my account was too small for the Stradman to ever see. Lmao this is all 100% true. I’m hoping he doesn’t have to wait until he’s 16 to see the Stradman!

It's the shops fault, there are a couple TT 1st gen Gallardo's out there still pretty reliable that were built years ago, mostly UGR cars. But even UGR stopped building TT 1st gen Gallardo's, I think their last one was built not long after James dropped his off. Besides, you can't supercharge the 5.0 V10, only the 5.2 like Dave's Squadra Corse or Huracan's.

Becoming more and more like Mat Armstrong with every video that releases
