Umm did get a bit lost..trying to find Sloane street with a bird screeching in me ear saying 'no its left i'm sure' then ended up going round in circles for half an hour. I am amazed how much attention the Murcie gets in London. I thought you London boys had loads of em there.

I recognised the plate and the little evo sticker in the side window.

You did realise there was a PH tunnel run (with over 200 cars!) going on just down the road didn't you?

Good to see you out enjoying the Murcie anyway!

thought you had aftermarket sat-nav in the murcie

Strangely enough, we don't have that many Orancio Murcielago's with Tubi in the city.

Yours and tony's 6ltr really stand out. Must say you're car owned the road.

I've now got executive approval from the Mrs for a lambo - so the search begins... Now where's that Black Amex gone

I also spotted you yesterday afternoon heading through East Sheen on the South Circ towards Richmond. I noticed your cooling ducts were up in the slow traffic - just wondering do you have any problems with overheating when you're in London, or are modern Lambos now equipped with industrial fans?

Ha ha!! No I have my index finger permanently on the button that raises the scoops manually below 40mph! In fact they go up and down so frequently I've had 4 new hinges as they snap with the amount of use they get! I just think they look great up. The only time they have ever come up automatically in this country, is 2 days in June last year when the outside temp reached 30deg. Under that they stay down. Its never had a problem staying cool in traffic. The same can't be said for its owner who felt distinctly embarrassed at the amount of camera flashs going off (mostly tourists I think.
I can't believe I missed that event..doh! And the sat nav last weekend had a large pair of assets. The real sat nav seems to lose its signal in London. Nice to be spotted tho!!

Jonny - Alan Robb at Lambo Wycombe has a stunning black 6ltr in stock at the mo. I'm sure you know of it. I visited there for the first time on Friday and was very very impressed with their personable attitude and fantastic premises. Real petrolheads the lot of them.Alan showed me around an MC12. I have never ever seen a car with so much presence on the road. It is huge. Must be bigger than the old 917 Le Mans Porsches. Also had a Miura SV and an XJ220 with its engine out. The MC12 makes the Murcie look like a milkfloat. Unbelievable

Like me! Last time in London I went trough a pack of batteries in my camera in just one morning!! I even saw a Bristol for the very first time in my life. If I had seen your beast, it'd have made my day
