okay, so I bought the Murci from Lamborghini London yesterday. I'm 6'6" and well built and for six month I have been unable to find anyone who knew enough about the car to gain extra room in the cabin. I recently contacted by recommendation, Graham at Lamborghini Wycome who gave me the confidence to go and buy a car.

I spent today in Wycombe with the new car. It was a punt as I hadn't driven it and wasn't sure if I would fit when I bought it, however after spending a couple of hours with the guys over there I'm happy to say the seat is adjusted and I'm in with a little room to spare. The runners are still under the seat so it remains adjustable, the guys are just putting it back together and I pick it up next week.

I just wanted to say thanks to you guys who helped with the recommendations, and most of all thanks to Lamborghini Wycombe for hooking me up.

Here's the motor...

love it!

Cheers guys, gotta love this forum - makes a refreshing change to get compliments on the motors. In Norwich, people tend to do things like leave cans of stella on your 430 glass engine cover! No seriously that actually happened, as I watched from a 100 yrds away. I think Linford would have had trouble keeping up with me when I saw that!

Good choice.....

Just out of interest is it 'safe' for you to travel to the US or have they gone over the top with looking to prosecute anyone involved in online gambling?

No I'm cool, I do a little marketing and consultancy in this sector and I focus on Europe only. They're banging up CEO's of gaming Plc's like its going out of fashion and with the recent law change lots of firms have pulled out of the states, Party Poker, 888.com etc. There are a few private companies staying to clean up, however, the board members of these companies will be staying clear of America.

its a 2004 car but I threw on a set of 06 model Hercules rims. I've had the LP640 white repeaters put on the side too as opposed to the current orange ones which I think can look dated on any car.
