Would you want this?

One of my friends bobbed round last week to show off his new toy. A bright yellow Gallardo spyder. Sat on my drive it looked quite stunning.

I nicked the key off him & took it for a quick run round the block with his lad. It sounds really good and drove surprisingly well.

I was driving it for no more than 5 mins and got called a w®®Ker twice :@)

I thought that was quite funny at the time, but would you really want that? In the 3 years I've had the V8V it has never caused that reaction. Maybe I've changed....

Also his wife took one look at and said, "I will never go out with you in that!"

I think it was an itch needing to be scratched and another box ticked.

I was surprised how civilised it was to drive and how good the ebox was, I thought that would be a pig. The throttle blips on the down change are something else - actually that probably accounts for the w@@ker comments!

It would be nice to have for the odd sunny afternoon, but not to own.

Ps.......and anybody over the age of 50 driving one is a big Knob

My pal is 51, when he arrived my Mrs said "what a knob". So it appears you're spot on there Mike.
