Apologies these are not particularly inspiring photos - I'm knackered! Better ones to follow. One word sums up the car for me: stunning!

I saw two yesterday at S. Ken, got to say I don't think the 560 is as good looking as the Gallardo. However, it sounds amazing and the rear lights are very nice not to mention the performance improvement. Thought the chromed switches in the interior were terrible tho!! Minor things I'm sure. The Green LP640 was amazing...

Andrew - that's gorgeous!!!! and I'm jealous :-)

Wish I'd kept up on the car owning when you had the Cerb... my sportscar buying went downhill after the Sport 350... now on a Saab 95 aero estate for family and mountain bike duties :-)

Might redress the balance with something interesting next year though if the world doesn't implode financially by then...

Last night when driving around I came across a 560 and we started playing around(legally & safely), his car was definately rapid and looks are always subjective but the sound imo did not sound as explosive as the G under full throttle, maybe I need to get used to it, and the fact they need to be run in as most of them are fairly new? When the 360 came out I felt the same in comparison to the F355.

The interior hasn't changed apart from the row of chrome switch tops on the centre console which used to have black rubber coatings.

Hi Dubbs - long time no hear!! I loved your Sport 350, so much so that I did test drive one for a day with the salesman from SGT, Guy. What you thinking of getting next year?

I sort of felt the same when I first drove the LP560. It certainly doesn't feel like that now, with 3000km under its wheels - especially if you switch Corsa on, even under light throttle the noise is distinctly louder and meaner

Needs to be a 2+2 that can carry an 11 year old in one sea and a baby seat in the other (18months old although she'll be 2 by the time I get it) also has to be under 30k

Thinking either Ferrari 456 or Maserati 4200GT.... would consider a 997 but think the boot space isn't enough for a family weekend away and the rear seats are too cramped for kids.

Needs to be something I could take on a trackday once in a blue moon for fun :-)

Keep hearing scare stories about the 456 that makes me wonder if it'd be a good idea.. do love them though.
