Was out yesterday with my 5 year old enjoying the sunshine. We were taking easy through a local village that was being decorated for Friday's wedding when I noticed very nice Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder which I stopped for and let out in front of me. We followed it for a few miles and it did really sound and look good. Metallic dark grey, black wheels with a thin orange stripe around the edge.

I said to my son what a nice car it was and he innocently asked if we could get one of those as well!

Which leads me to ask what else would you have if you could?

Ferrari 355 - just can't really park it on a permanent basis on an open terraced street in Leeds, it's just asking for trouble.

Lotus Evora S in Burnt Orange - overpriced at circa £70k and would lose a fortune in depreciation, especially with revamped front end rumoured for later this year.

And a Ford GT

Ive always fancied a Gallardo Spyder...maybe have to get one someday as a weekend car...and keep the Aston for runabout wink

actually I like so many, I may just spend £12K and join a supercar club for a year to get it out of my system...have a different car once a month for a long weekend etc

Every time I see one and it's fantastic weather, I'm just so jealous

Adversely though, whenever I see a new Ferrari it just makes me think I made the right decision.

There is only one car that would cause me to chop the Vantage and my beloved 1964 Volvo P1800... this is it.....

Fingers crossed that it goes into production! 600hp.....yikes!

+1 Ford GT is also my dream car.....

Amazing that they are more expensive than when new. Very rare that a car holds its value/appreciates in the first 5 years

+2, been lucky enough to drive my mates and what a car! just the full package and a car that you could drive every day, it offers so much more driver feel than a modern Ferrari or lambo could, less computer game like feel.

Will post up some more photos of it tonight - driven it twice now, its just so raw feeling, limited driver aids make it fantastic.

Looking at the picture of the Ford GT, the wiper stalk looks suspiciously like the one in the Vantage...?? Another Focus parts bin special??

I noticed you lived in Cambridge and I think you'll find that Lambo belongs to Avis on Mill Road, seen one of similar description outside there a few times.
