Not keen on gallardo's, bit under steery for my liking, not tried the later ones though.
F430 is a better car IMO.

Absolutly agree, that was my explanation, Ferrari and Lamborghini very different, Ferrari is light and delicate High revving acute handling, Lamborghini needs grabbing hold of ready for the KABOOM and V10 Thrust, not driven one for a while and must take the time to pop over and see you!

Still got the GTR exhaust safe for you wink

Played with a press superleggera, spent a lot of time going sideways but wouldn't call it a fast car.

Played with a 570 superleggera over strathdon on low boost and he had to try hard to keep up. I do love them though

Sounds like an Idea, I'll bring the Noble. Can you remember where the Lambo is? hehe

Tough one but Noble, dependant on what version. I looked at some Gallardo's back in February and while the Gallardo is a really nice car for me personally (especially with the LP-560 bumper) it doesn't compare being shorter and taller than a normal Lambo like the murcielago. I was steering towards a £62k matt black Gallardo with some mods which looked great. It's the cheapest way into Lamborghini ownership in a sense and I know a few people that call the Gallardo a cheap man's lamborghini much the same as the Boxster is to owning a porsche. I know two people one with a countach and Aventador and the Gallardo is kinda frowned upon in some circles and the odd get together the Gallardo's get some what ignored in the Lambo group in some circumstances. I don't really agree with that as it's still a £120k plus car new and a very desirable one at that especially to 95% of the public. It obviously has prestige over the Noble and certainly more luxurious and in some ways impressive but to the niche few I got put off because it's the bottom of the range unless you go for the superleggera or the balboni which starts getting into bigger money. At the end of the day each to their own, My Mother and GF wanted me to go for the Gallardo over the Noble but I just find the Noble more unique as an overall and additionally more appealing.

I had my first bad experience with a Lamborghini gallardo owner on Saturday , he was parked in the local tescos car park so being a good chap I parked next to him but a space away , thinking if would be nice to say hello I popped over to comment on his lovely car ...... Needless to say he was so stuck up his own arse !!! And then he asked if the Noble was a kit car !!!!!

I was sooo pissed of I went back and sat in the Noble waiting for his wife to return , engine running , water meth on and full post selected I followed him out the town at a sensible distance ...... Needless to say when we got to the first dual carriageway he gave it everything , it was screaming it head of :-))
I went past him on full boost like he was stood still managing to smack into the rev limiter in 4th so hard the bangs scared the crap out of me laugh
Not bad for a kit car biggrinbiggrin

He looked a bit pissed off as I drove back down the other side of the dual carridgway with the 1 fingered salute out the window biggrinbiggrin

Bit off topic but this is what can be done if you get into tuning the lambo.
