Met a bright yellow Gallardo Spyder coming out of my neighbours house as I was leaving a little earlier, I waited for it to come out so I could have a better look!

Looking at pictures of it when it was announced I wasn't really convinced by it, but seeing it in the flesh, it's absolutely bloody gorgeous. Dont know what exhaust system it had, but it sounded fantastic too, much better than the Gallardo I see in town occasionally. Unfortunatley didn't get to follow it for long, a wedding party trying to U turn a limo in a country lane sorta got in the way, so it disappeared out of view all to quickly

Now all I have to do is work out if it's the neighbours, or just a visitor, and how I can get a ride in it

I managed to blag a ride in a Gallardo Spyder with Valentino Balboni at the wheel. Traffic was a bit heavy, and we were leading a convoy of cars that we didn't want to lose so he wasn't able to really do it justice, but even so it was a really nice ride and I was very impressed by the car.

I had a play in some a couple of weeks ago...


Take your pick. It's playtime.


I'll take it.

My hair, it is imperfect, no?


Well it is a 4x4...


The yellow one's petrol tank got empty.

if you'll excuse the french - git

That's the yellow that I saw this weekend - still think it looks far nicer in real life than in photo's - very nice photo's they are though.

you are really lucky.

I saw a yellow rhd gallardo spider racing thru london at 1am.the car sounded absolutely phenemenol. when i eventually overtook it, i looked inside and there was a guy younger than 25 driving it.

the car looked absolutely amazing, if i ever had the £ i would buy one over any f430/bentley gtc/am

i saw one advertised for £179,000.!
