Can anyone explain this

[Wills2]

Why are the buttons on the lower centre console the other way round from each other on these 599's

The first photo is from a 2006 599, the second is also a 2006 599?

As both are autos why do you need the hanbrake on?

Because when you park on a hill the auto will roll a 6-12 inches whilst it settles in park, which you may not want if you've got a tight parking spot.

they're not slushboxes, but automated dry clutches which disengage when parked

What he said. I use my hand brake all the time unless the brakes are extremely hot and need to cool down first

Same here and engage 1st gear ..you get lovely beeping noise otherwise when you go to turn the ignition off

I dont understand the point about the clutch disengaging. I always leave the Gallardo in 1st with handbrake off and whenever I start it up afterwards it is still in 1st. If left in neutral it bleeps. Am I doing something wrong? I would hate to leave it in gear and find it disengages and rolls off!
