Lambo technician at work?

Feels like that, quoted time for service is in fact 5 hours, you pay them for an hours work to replace the minimal parts, pay them for another 4 hours for an Easter egg hunt where you hope they don’t find any eggs, if they do? then it all starts again, while we’re in there etc or we spotted this whilst the covers were off bla bla

Thing is, a low mileage Lambo with full annual main dealership history the last 12 years? You’re pretty much in Ferrari territory and can’t leave the system.

I don’t feel the same about my Mecca or AMGs funnily, just the Lambo, so I bite it as where I am there are no true Lambo specialists anyway.

I’ve not driven it since oct last year, the others I’ve driven lots but the AV demands you be in a certain mood and weather here in Europe has been no better than Uk since oct, so the right mood has not really presented itself hehe first drive looking like its service rolleyes hey ho..

At this point, I feel like a mistress is cheaper.

Certainly, though not sure what you’d get at our age would be as rewarding smile

Depends on the investment, surely. Remind me how much an Aventador is these days?

Lovely colour!

Seriously considering an early e-gear or a v10 r8.. Though I would prefer a manual!

I'm a weird kinda cheapskate in that I can stomach £4k for a clutch, but not £700 in annual tax!

Whilst I'm sure the 911 is lovely, there might as well not be another car in that picture. The Gallardo just stands out so much, it really is a treat to look at. A lot to do with the colour obviously but I also think because when you imagine a Gallardo in your head, yours is pretty much what a lot of people would imagine.

Great to see it out and about.

Because you're actually getting something for your money.

Thank you - I do love it. I initally thought that people would think I was a douche in a yellow Lambo but the amount of positive attention it gets is great - I had nothing to fear ha!

Nah

Certain cars just make people smile and this is one of those.

Lovely car and I like cars such as this in Yellow, suits it down to the ground.

There used to be a yellow one turn up at one of the TVR meets that I used to go to, and it is a fantastic colour for them I reckon. thumbup

Being slightly cheeky, what’s the part number for those exhaust clamps please? Might be on the parts invoice?
