Shot this Gallardo on the weekend for those interested. I've not seen one in this colour before but I think it looked fantastic, really suited the car IMO. Anyway, hope you like them smile

Might want to get your tripod looked at, it appears that one leg is a lot longer than the other two wink

What is a tape player???? Does it work off valves and take ages to warm up! Brilliant colour for the Lambo BTW.

Nice pics of a stunning car.....can almost forgive the stuck on daylight running lights but not the numberplate, it looks awful.
Is that an aftermarket exhaust too? looks huge!

It certainly is. I was as surprised as you!

And I think the exhaust is aftermarket...or at least the tailpipes!

A great car in a great colour, the only downside is the awful number plates.

It's Will's car. Old Gallardo's (04) had cassette players as standard and not many had upgraded to the Audi Satnav setup.

Whole exhaust I believe is aftermarket but I can't remember who's. Not Tubi, perhaps RSC, I can't rememeber.

So how did you or Will manage to miss out all the stone chips on the front? lol
Is that Photoshopping then or just choosing the right angles? smile

Nothing wrong with photoshopping a few little stone chips out wink

Will warned me about the stone chips but when I showed him the front of my car he understood why I wasn't too worried about it!

Being Chassis 870 it is one of the first 1,000 cars produced, built in the German Factory, please address all complaints about the original specification to R.Ferdinand, c/o MUFC
Exhaust is Tubi, tips are titanium to shield the heat from the SL Carbon rear diffuser
Number plates satisfy plod, who has now stopped charging me £60 every time I go out
DRL's work a treat and people have stopped pulling out in front of me.

I am sorry some of you find my car so offensive, I will go away and poke myself in the eye with a sharp stick......no wait why don't you do that, criticised by a fkin bratwurst muncher and a fiat owner. rofl

Nice carcool, shame the number plates ruin it though.nono
Surprised Plod like them like that!The spacing looks wrong with no space between the letters and numbers which would make them illegal. I am sure normal plates would look much better.
I think this car was also in EVO at one time with this silly plate.

Ahhhh!!!!! Every where you go on PH at the moment appears to be populated by number plate Nazi's. Why oh why does this subject bother people so much???

For a site whose slogan is “Speed Matters” why are there such a bunch of conformists around, it’s only a number plate people..... Sorry rant over, carry on....

love the photography and colour of the car. Not liking the numberplate and the exhausts. Seem to stick out a little too much.

You drive a Punto?

And your saying the plates on this Lambo look awful?
