Just got back from an epic 2000 mile road trip to the Scottish Highlands in the Sterrato.

Nothing like that sort of drive to bond you with a car - especially one as good as this.

To finally get to use it properly - this car is so, so good - all been said before of course so no point rehashing it again but suffice to say this is by far the best car I've ever owned.

I would also say this get's way more attention than any of my previous Lambo's ( including Diablo SV !) - & nearly all off it positive.

Park it up anywhere and within minutes people are all over it taking photos, thumbs up all the time when driving.

I think the roof box has something to do with that - it just blows peoples minds to see a Lambo with a roof rack let alone a roof box 😆

I was really surprised at how that Thule box really works well at speed with the Sterrato, if anything it's a bit quieter as it stops the roof bars from whistling. Sure you can tell the centre of gravity has raised and it rolls about a bit more when loaded but otherwise it's completely fine.

That said, I did take the roof box off for the Old Military Road A93 / A939 drive - the highlight of the trip .... if you know you know.... and if you don't know you need to make that a bucket list drive. Driving it in glorious spring sunshine, barely any other cars on the road .... In a Sterrato .... just doesn't get any better!

One thing I found: I have an exhaust valve controller on it ; and for motorway cruising have it with valves closed as the drone can get a bit much after a while.... but what I found that of you floor it in a high gear with the valves closed ..... the induction noise !! ... holy **** ! .. amazing & properly addictive ! ( pretty sure my EVO didn't sound like that ... maybe the roof scoop contributing. )

So yeah, just the perfect car for me ... it's a keeper for sure.

The only fly in the ointment ( because there has to be one right ?) is the touchscreen failed on the way back home - just totally black . Bit of a ball ache as the satnav lady was trying to get us back to our previous destination the whole time.. It fired up OK the next day but sounds like it's a total replacement under warranty job..

Anyway, here are some gratuitous pics of said trip ( of course it also helped that an actual bona fide miracle occurred and we had 7 days in Scotland where it didn't rain once .... in fact all bar 1 day it was warm and cloudless skies .... in early April ...? totally unheard of ! 😆)
