I've watched 4 priced at 95-100k since October and all sold within 10 days of listing.

Have you tried to enquire about the orange one listed at 89k? Seems like a bargain

Said it before, will say it again, that v10 is unmatched at this price point

You're right! Not much to choose at that price.Also seems that most of the owners hold on to the gallardo when they upgrade to a v12

Congrats from another recent owner. Hope you love the ownership as much as me.

I did actually call the bloke he's located in Scotland. It's not for me to say but I wasn't completely sold on the motor for various reasons and throw in the private sale/warranty etc I would rather pay the extra 10k for peace of mind at this price point.

Very much looking forward to Friday..3.5hr drive home!

Motor will be left on the drive at night.

Does anyone know of any good car covers to use or would recommend?

The problem with outdoor car covers is that you need to make sure the car is spotless before you put them on or you'll scratch the paintwork to pieces.

That's a lot of effort if you intend to use the car regularly, therefore I personally wouldn't recommend using one.

Have just read all that online myself whilst looking in them. Probably better off without!

I'll see how I get on. Thanks

Bit more help please!

Looking at getting a front & rear dash cam installed which also records when ignition is off (whole point of it for me) possibly motion sensor'd or similar.

Any recommendations on A. which cam? B. places to install (im useless)

Thanks

As incredible as I dreamed! I love it, taking some getting used to with the looks/phones etc but I've done 350 miles this weekend including the 200 mile drive home and my eGear/neutral skills are getting there. Had the occasional moment where I thought I'd flicked to 1st and was in N and a little rev - bit embarrassing/flashy but what a beautiful car. That cold start is to die for.

Heres a pic from collection I'll get more when it's been valeted this Sunday.

Big congrats - cracking looking car and well done on fulfilling the dream.

[Never you mind]

Yup, the cold start is awesome. Made me jump first time I started mine up. Enjoy the car they are amazing machines.

Congrats Irdan, lovely looking car.... The cold start still gives me goose bumps lol. Take care in this weather, it'll spin all four wheels in third in a Straight line

Lovely. The Gallardo still looks very current, and a great colour.

Unfortunately the Phone Number Collection Pack on mine clashes with the Ugly Mug From Birth extra that my parents ticked during my conception...

Think the phone number collection pack is broken on mine.

I've had several people more familiar with the Huracan comment they prefer the look of 'this one' without knowing the model etc.

Congratulations on the purchase, it looks like a lovely car.

Lovely looking car, well done.

I fear the phone collection pack is accompanied by expensive divorce pack?
