LP560-4 Spyder - goodbye
Discussion
Lambo LP560-4 Spyder was sold today
Jumping from the SuperL in Sept last year to the LP560-4 Spyder was such a hideous disappointment (difficult to admit at the time after just rinsing quite a few quid), but within 10 mins of driving the LP I knew it was on borrowed time. The final straw was the IoM trip I did in May, where the car just didnt impress me on those mountain roads at all, it was nervous skittish and wobbly + the brakes pretty much failed on me at one point after some rather spirited driving. It had a lot to live up to I suppose, the SuperL is really a very special car indeed.
The LP also posed a real problem when out and about in it (avec roof down...the ONLY way to drive a Cab IMO) - if you drive around with another bloke you look like a pair of homo's, and I never go out in it with the wife as there are 3 kids to think about in the equation (my wife has only ever been in one of my 4 Lambo's for one journey since 2006), so its drive around with one of the kids, on my own or looking like a mincer (as myself and a mate found out on a trip to Goodwood that got uncomfortably close to Brighton!)
Cabs arent for me I've decided, box ticked - not to be repeated
If anyone wants an absolutely A1 minty 'as new' LP560-4 Spyder in Ballon White then contact Mark Woore at Lambo M'Cr (0161 474 6730), they own the car now and its good to go. You will be buying a good'un that was never driven in bad weather, ventureshielded, not a mark on it, polished every week etc.....it will most likely be on its way to Malaysia within a few days I suppose.

Is it really that bad? Can't soft top owners have regular mates? Does it matter anyway? I've sometimes been tempted by a Spyder but the structural stiffness (poor choice of word here?
) issues and weight have always put me off in the end (sorry, I can't help it

I drive a white Spyder and I have never felt ghey in any way.
I have the other concern, having had a couple of Spyders I am not sure I could go back to a coupe without feeling a bit hemmed in and disconnected.
Each to their own, the world would be a boring place if we all thought the same.

I sort of understand the OP,the attention you get is rather startling,but pull the roof down..and just listen to the noise,and any worries are washed away..
Never felt gay driving it,and the response from women makes you feel anything but gay.Funnily enugh I know a couple of gay lads who both drive coupes.
I actually prefer the looks of the spyder over the coupe.Also spyder ha s no scuttle shake at all,if you are driving at speeds where you would notice the difference between the coupe and spyder handling wise you should be locked up frankly,and the extra weight does blunt acceleratiojn...but they are still too fast for uk roads.

ok, ignore the homo bit - I just felt self conscious driving the car, maybe I'm just not enough of an attention w
e as some (shy shrinking violet type me - anyone that knows me will vouch for this)
it was (is) a lovely car, but just not a single patch on a SuperLeggera as far a a driving experience is concerned. Its no way as sharp, and it is a but wobblier than the coupe - fact.
horses for courses I suppose, what did I expect when I bought it
I dont regret it though, as bought well and sold well - so not much pain felt in that dept. I have ticked a box that needed a tick (and wont need ticking again)

I had soft tops for years, mainly red, right through the F car range, then all of a sudden I felt like a complete dick when sitting at red lights in town (or anywhere).
I found I was not putting the top down, waste of a cab.
Sold the last one, bought a tintop, not red, never looked back.
I think the only way to drive a cab is in a real old time classic, it gives a different message.
