Some pictures from Fridays Lambo event

[traxx]

So Lamborghini UK had a bit of a get together up at Silverstone last Friday

Unfortunately I only managed to stick around for the morning – but it was great weather and hardly anyone was using the track (do Lambo owners not like to drive their cars fast?)

I was really impressed with the Superleggera on the track - not so keen on the 560

Great pictures, looks like the perfect day

Cracking pictures, thanks for posting. The 560 looks great in the orange colour, as does V12 MR B.

Its not often enough you see a car park like this.

Apart from Paul's Murci, that looks like a Gallardo only event. What happened to all the other Lambos?

Perhaps Murci and Diablo owners dont get out of bed till lunchtime?
There were more Scuderias there than Diablos

Great pics. Whats the official name of that baby blue colour on the Gallardo Spyder?

Worryingly for Lamborghini, people were talking more about getting their arses handed to them by a certain CLK DTM in the afternoon than the LP-560 it's self!!

Looks an awesome day for hooning around in Lambos..!!

And you can buy one for half the price of an LP560. There is a creacking video on youtube with one racing a Gallardo around the Nurburgring ..

Have to say, that LP560 looks stunning in orange .. despite the subtle cosmetic changes I think the new Lp560 manages to make the Gallardo look dated

superleggera has to be the car for the money (lambo wise)

Hey J5,

Do you know(or heard) of any cars going for 100k yet?

I never said suprised! Having driven that car it certainly wasn't a suprise to me!!

All those pics and I am not on any!

Here are a few of mine, fantastic day!

Was that on the Stowe circuit? If so I'm not surprised not many V12s turned up, it's tiny and they wouldn't get out of 2nd gear!

Looks like it was fun though. Did you say Lambo UK organised it? Don't remember Ferrari UK ever offering similar (other than the vastly overpriced Club Fiorano days)...

[silver-bullet]

I was there too, in my 360 spider. Far more fun than the Fiorano days (which are certainly expensive, and not great value for money).

The Merc was awesomely quick. The owner had had it chipped to beyond 600 bhp.

I thought the 560-4 (which was on Stowe) was more impressive than the Superleggera. The SL was excellent in many ways but I thought the handling wasn't quite as good as a 360CS (let alone Scud).

The South circuit was pretty much deserted all day long.

I forgot it had been chipped! Not that it needed it before hand i can tell you! The power is relentless, i haven't driven anything that still pulls that well at 160mph+!!
Simply awesome and that's before you even talk about the sound it makes!!!
