Matt and Mitch were in one of the yellow Gallardos which he was borrowing from Lambo London, I think.

No in the first yellow Gallardo spider (YEV1L) was Christian Mastro, Lamborghini's European Zone Manager & Luigi Marmorelli (at least for a time) their ex technical Director (and the great man behind putting the Diablo into production). When he wasn't in there it was Christian's girlfriend. In the second '06 Spyder was none other than Mark from Lambo Manchester and his lovely wife Bev!

Incidentally there were some great Lamborghini legends that weekend. Marmorelli is an ex Rally driver and the driving force in ironing out the huge cooling problems associated with the Diablo in 90/91. It was rumoured that Stephen Winkelman Lambo's top man was going to make an appearance but it wasn't to be. Of course Balboni was there too. One thing that was very very dissapointing (even though I managed to blag a free place at the gala dinner courtesy of the good chaps at Lambo Manchester) was that these guys tell some fantastic stories about Lamborghini over the years, and after the dinner they weren't even invited to speak more than a few words.

Matt was in a yellow Gallardo from Lambo London - not a Spyder.

Indeed it was a shame the Lambo dignitaries didn't tell some tales.
