Funny what a difference colours can make. I think the maroon Gallardo looks better than the black Murci in those photos!
The two Murci's I've seen were in titanium and yellow (one in each colour, not 80s Nissan-esque 2-tone). Both, IMO, are better colours for the car...
As with Kev, I was surprised how much I liked the look of the Gallardo above. Would make me want to see them in a whole host of colours now, plus to see shots of the rear in different colours too...

I do like the Gallardo. I felt a lot more comfortable sitting in it compared to the Murcielago.
But for the simple reason that it doesn't have scissor doors it puts me off.
Why couldn't Lambo make this..
Gallardo Engine
Gallardo body but with a nicely done rear end
Scissor Doors
Custom Interior
It would be perfect!!!!

Was with Kevin yesterday and also saw the red Gallardo in question at LL - got to say it looked great.
BUT...Drove another Murcielago again today (actually been lent for w/e) and I have to say that it's the real deal. Absolute RUBBISH about it not being useable and too big .... it is and always has been a piece of p** to drive.
All IMO of course.

Dom, unfortunately wont be at VW tomorrow, but defo see you during the week.
Manu, to be honest with you, everytime I see a Murcielago, on the road, it doesn't make me drool or go crazy. The anniversary one I saw seemed so plain, and it took me a while to clock exactly what it was, okay it was night, but still.
Saw a silver one yesterday in Kensington, looked good but nothing exceptional??? Diablo looks so much wilder, makes your blood pump just looking at it.
But I think you are right though, its probably the best thing on the market atm, but I disagree with you regarding the size and driveability. I still think it's warranted to shit yourself applying clutch, still think its f**king heavy, and it shows, and the brakes arent phenomenal, whereas the performance is. Even on dual carriageways, you are very aware of the size of it, it takes up soooo much room. Went down the NCP by Nobu the other night (horrible twisting one), the 360 just about made it, although I have to admit at several points I just thought "oh well, it;ll get scratched a little" and prepared for the sound, lucky it never did, but it was sooo bloody close. Murci, no f**king chance, it just wouldn't happen, and you'd get stuck coz the entrance is wide, but it narrows badly later. Plus clutch would get fried on the way back up.
After conversation with Kev, and a few other friends, I was thinking of keeping 360 and getting Gallardo (assuming I really can get it as quick as I've been offered) and then selling one prior to summer, might even make a bit on the Gallardo if it really is a premium car?
