Picanto or lambo

[thinfourth2]

Inspired by this thread http://www.pistonheads.com/xforums/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Given the choice between taking a lambo round the M25


or the horrors of a kia Picanto around the applecross loop

which is also in the UK


Which would you choose

What a strange question that provokes a lot of thought! I opted for the Lambo though, even if I can't open it up I would be driving a Lambo. Besides, I would just pull onto the hard shoulder, whack the hazards on until about 9pm when it gets quieter and do a timed lap

KILTOX!!!!!

Lambo...parts of the M25 get quite twisty when you get some proper speed up.

Great poll.

More fun in the little Kia. I can derive no pleasure from driving on motorways, whatever the car.

[Jasandjules]

The Lambo. Even sat in traffic I suspect would be enjoyable enough in a Lambo.

[Deluded]

Picanto hands down. Whats the point in a supercar if you can't go fast? It's just like any other car sat in traffic.

If you can't have fun in a picanto on a road like that, you're doing it wrong.

Picanto and then I wouldn't care if I bin it

[maxdb]

I would choose the Lambo then go around the M25 at 3am

Is it a modern Lamborghini (post Diablo)? If so then the Picanto.

If you binned it on the applecross pass it would end up alot flatter then a lambo by the time you had stopped bouncing

Still rather be in a crap car on a decent road.

Would you not get bored after 5 minutes even if the motorway was empty?

Applecross is twisty enough to enjoy in something that bad as long as the brakes can take it.
But I've never driven a Lambo so I'd be in traffic with the mongs.

[V100]

Kia, definitely. Cute little thing as well, plus I hate post-Diablo lambos.

[drophead]

Tough call!

Being young i've yet to discover the delights of driving a Lambo, so would love to be able to have a go in one even if it is on the M25! On the other hand, being young i know what it's like to rag the crap out of an under powered econo-box!

The thing that would swing it is whether the M25 is chocka-block with traffic or just a couple of cars and trucks like it is some of the time? If it is the latter then it would have to be the Lambo hands down.

[PaulB81]

I would say Kia

I would imagine driving a Lambo in traffic would be a ball ache, its a big wide (very expensive) thing and it would be frustrating knowing what it can do and not being able to use it at all.

[otolith]

I can rag a stbox through some decent driving roads any time I fancy, it's hardly difficult to arrange. So I'll have a go in a Lamborghini please.

[Puddenchucker]

The Lambo might just get the nod, if it's going counter-clockwise around the M25....

...so I get to go through the Dartford Tunnel.
