Starting to become interested in the gallardo

[rhipsher]

I don't know much about them. What to look for and what to steer clear of as far as issues. But I'm doing my homework. I'm a BMW Corvette guy so it's new to me. And they are within my price range. I live in Houston Texas and there are tons of supercars here. Big oil money at work.

First of

I’d suggest is to learn to spell it - Gallardo not Galardo

If you are unfamiliar with the PistonHeads format, you might want to read a few threads in order to understand our sense of humour.

Once you've nailed that (not difficult tbh) look at the reviews and then come up with a few specific questions that are easier to digest.

The thread will wander anyway and probably give you more Q than A, but hey.............

First Off, or to be absolutely correct Firstly.

I’d suggest you get your own house in order before criticising others.

OP, the Buyer’s Guides are a good place to start. I also have a very handy PDF Buyer’s Guide created by someone in one of the Facebook Groups. I would be happy to send you a copy if you send me a PM via Pistonheads.

Deliberately emphasising the Off as opposed to of, so 1/2 point to you. Putting it in quotes may have been better.

Only teasing, and I do agree with your sentiments

Excellent thread so far - made me smile a lot

[rhipsher]

Didn't mean to start WW3 over it. Forget it. It's really not that important.

[rhipsher]

Nope. Still here.

[andrew]

so do you have any specific questions that haven't already been sufficiently covered in the gallardo/huracan section ?
