I noticed because.. the unique wheels are identical.
Know the serial number of this kit by any chance?
I've tried checking (see that small plaque in the middle of the front bumper & above exhaust @ rear bumper)
Tried checking before but I sort of looked weird trying it.
Yes, it definitely is the yellow "54" Murcielago last time. Here's confirmation. Haha.

Of course you can depend on it, at least after you are experienced.

Oh bugger, I'm up waaay too late. I saw Nikon 50mm and immediately I thought of the new 1.4. Okay, now I'm up to speed.
I can't really see a hard knock doing a whole lot of damage - hell, I've seen zooms bounce down stairs and still work fine. If your aperture's working OK and you don't notice your image quality affected, I wouldn't be too concerned.
Yep, no problems with the aperture or sharpness of a image, so I guess it's fine?

Hmm - how hard was that bump, and what direction was it in? Also, have you switched off the AF? It may just be that you're moving the AF motor while you're turning the ring.
I don't think it's the AF motor. It's a 50mm prime lens, no AF motor built-in. Haha. It's the screw kind of AF that works if your camera body has its own AF motor. Quite a hard knock, but not a drop.

Is the autofocus functioning properly? When you say that it's not so smooth anymore, is something the ring rubbing against the lens body or is it jamming?
The lens can support AF, but I'm using D60, so I have to manual focus myself. And I don't think the ring is rubbing against the lens body, but it's just not that smooth anymore, and there are weird noises when I shake the whole lens unit. =(

A little question here for those pros like kopi and gedanken. I just bought a Nikon 50mm f/1.8 prime lens. Very lightweight and sharp lens, with a very smooth focus ring action. But recently my lens received a little bump and the focus ring’s action isn’t that smooth anymore. Will there be any problems? Should I bring it to Nikon?

Yeah.. Ok thanks for the advice. But I always have the perception that the Murcielago has a much better road presence than any of the Ferraris.
Looks cooler, crazier too. I notice that mostly the people who drive Lambos will be the younger people, who are rich kids. Ferrari drivers tend to be older.
I think there's more than one F599s up for sale. I know Ferraris are better. Just can't deny myself that the Murcielago has that presence. Why didn't you get a 599?
Yeah. Its smart car testing for Jatropha biodiesel fuel. Was in the news a couple of times.
Get the Murcie while you can. Once the Murcie is axed, you can say byebye to the OLD V12 engine, which dates all the way back to the Miura.
