Good stuff!

I get mine tomorrow!!!!!!! I've been sent a few teaser pics, but not a full shot of the car - which is kind of good in a way.

Roll on Saturday lunchtime @ Pangbourne......
Can't wait to see your pictures. Have a great day and let me know if you fancy a meet up and drive in the next few weeks.

many congrats, calipers look great, enjoy goodwood!
Thanks, I am also really happy how the calipers came out, wasn't sure what shade of blue to go for as factory won't paint them blue. I asked dealer to match Blu Cepheus as close as possible. I think they nailed it

Very, very nice BigR! Love the wheels. I do hope you're enjoying it! I have done 500 miles in 6 days with mine.

Thank you! Mine is looking a little dirty after having sat in a field at Silverstone for two days this weekend. 650 miles in my first two weeks! Hopefully I won't keep it up at that level......
I have just returned to working overseas and left my new beauty with 1200 miles on her after less than 3 weeks!! Cant wait to get back to the UK for some more hooning, sadly I don't think that will be this year.

Off to France in it this weekend for a few days, so think I'll be pushing similar numbers. On one level it feels a bit "err...putting miles on this expensive motor", but on every other level I think its 100% the right thing to do. Except for the insurance limitations on mileage :-(
Have a great trip, should be a lovely drive. Fingers crossed the weather will be on your side. Like has already been said don't worry about the mileage just enjoy your car!

I know my Lambo is safe and sound and being well looked after, although not driven at all. Unsurprisingly you aren't the first to offer your services biggrin

My work has me in Asia for most of the year, but thats what pays the bills and allows me to indulge in nice cars. Cant have it both ways, i sacrifice time in the UK and have to make the most of my holidays! On the bright side every time i get back I'm either picking up another new car or it feels like i am smile.

Your trip sounds fantastic, perfect roads for our cars with great tarmac and relatively quiet. I hope you kept half an eye out for the gendarme!

I will be looking into what Lamborghini tours are happening next summer, i really fancy doing a nice 10 days in Europe.
