Just saying hello! I'll be joining your esteemed ranks this Saturday with a manual LP550-2 formerly of this parish. biggrin To say I'm excited is something of an understatement. bounce

Nice. Why did you go for the 2 over the 4?

Not a big fan of this wheel style, but they work better anodised in black.

Does it replace the GT3?

Lovely car, BTW. Never driven the -2 but admire them.

The reports of better steering feel and dynamics over the -4, albeit maybe at the expense of some surefootedness.

I like my cars to be something of a driving challenge. biggrindriving

yes Yes, sadly.

If I has the space, the Porker wouldn't be going anywhere. frown

Many congrats mate..... Nice car that....

I drove a 550_2 today and the back end wobbled under throttle at 60± mph when I booted it, or tried too.... :massive smile and grin: .... It was a bit wet mind.... I,d have a 550_2 everyday of the week too

Lovely car Jeremy, congrats.

Regarding the surefootedness of the 4, I've "Wobbled" mine a few times, there is more than enough oomph to break traction in the dry. Would like to drive a 2 though, to get a comparison.

Massive thanks are due to Craig, David and the rest of the team at Lamborghini Pangbourne. thumbup

They really did a fantastic job sourcing the car and making what was a slightly unconventional transaction friction-free and painless. smile I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a Lamborghini - great people to deal with. smile

Now, I need to tend to my aching cheeks from an afternoon of grinning having picked the car up. hehe
