This thread is a great idea.

Here's my white 08 Gallardo Superleggera which I've owned for just over a year. I recently took the beast to Bedford Autodrome for a track evening and was surprised how differently it drove compared with the fully RWD cars I've owned (Exige/Aero 8 etc) - despite 70% of the power going to the rear. I'm currently considering removing the after-market bumper and the Lamborghini shields as they really split opinion.

Beford has really strict noise limits - was your SL okay on it ? Sorry slightly off topic.

Yup, although I'd probably try a different track on my next outing, as I said earlier the track felt a little small for a car like this.

That does take procrastination to a new level!

Since I didn't have my toy when this thread started I'll post it now.

Here's my new toy.



Bought for a (relative) song last December and I'm loving every minute!

Very nice..... and a Spanish gearbox as well.
If I ever get to the point where I can be a 2 Donkey household then one of those will be at the top of the list (albeit with a black interior)

There were only 69 made with the Spanish gearbox so keep your eyes well peeled!

Worth it though, I love it! biggrin

sounds a bit like the California.... always said the only car I'd trade my 360 for is a manual California.... given how few were made I could be waiting some time lol

I didn't know they'd made any manual California's, I thought like the 458 they were designed around the DCT box and it wasn't possible.

Every days a learning day!
