Clarkson on the Gallardo Spider

Saw one in Ocean Village Southampton a couple of weeks ago with the plate R1SKY, must say it looked fantastic
If his (lack of..) warming up technique leaving the local pubs is anything to go by it'll go bang before the end of the year. Same bloke used to have a yellow gallardo hardtop.
A typical 'U' turn by the Rotherham Advertiser's favourite son then. His "but it's not a Ferrari" comment from his original test of the coupe still has me falling out of my chair in fits of laughter.
Personally, I prefered it when JC was knocking Lambos. Lamborghini's have always been a bit "left field", hardly the obvious choice. Most people missed the fact that David Beckham is on his second Gallardo, which was nice.
Now Sant' Agata has the endorsement of a leading media "celebrity" I'm sure it'll all go to hell in a hand cart very quickly.
I blame Lamborghini themselves for producing such a fine car.
Should have been a pile of crap instead.
I'm sure Jeremy will get a "flappy stick" version, which will make Andy a happy bunny (not!).

On a mildly related note.
I met and spoke with James May, whilst enduring the joys of a cross channel ferry, recently.
He's just filming a travelogue with Oz Clarke (Wine Buff) through France, in a drop-head V12 XJS. Two men in a Jag. Very cool.
Anyhoo, he was a really nice guy.
I took the piss out of his shirt (though I've worn worse!) and asked if Hammond was doing his wardrobe. He sat down and chatted for a few minutes, eventually getting dragged off by the film crew.
Ofcourse, if I'd known he was bullying JC into buying a Gallardo Spyder, I'd have throttled him!
