My Lamborghini Gallardo 5.0 V10

3:50 onwards

Well, it's £2.5K for 4 clamps - thankfully I only need the one

In hindsight, maybe I could have done some research and got some clamps in readiness for this work being done as well as waited for the fella I've been in touch with in America to sort me that oil filter housing gasket. Doing that would have saved me a small fortune. The challenge I have currently is time is not on my side as the car is in the garage right now.

Lovely car. I really liked these when they came out, I wished they had scissor doors but other than that it was just perfect in my eyes. Congrats, its good you're living the dream and having a shed for a daily means this feels extra special. I have a clio too. I have envy for that renault merch in the original garage photos! Sorry for your news of your friend, life can be brutal.

Thanks, I appreciate your post. The Renault merch was found (and then subsequently sold) on eBay so it's all there if you were wanting to do the same.

They have cars in every corner of each of the three hangar sized workshops. The place is full to the brim of cars it’s insane. There must be £5M worth of cars lying around

Plus I want it for summer

Should get the car back Monday. All the work has been done as well as an oil filter and service. All in including the cats was £6K

It's taxed, it's MOTd, it's ready for the Summer.

None as yet, other than as many car shows as I can

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.

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!

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!

Mine's only £395

Thanks, it means a lot. I still can't believe I own one!

Went to Ushaw Car Show today (as a spectator) and the parking area was somewhat, er, overgrown.
