Hi guys , please dont shoot me down cos of the name or for the fact that i currently drive a posh beetle but have been giving the green light from her in doors to own a proper super car seeing as i have been a good boy.
Now the only question is which one , i have always loved the 360 and the 430 but at the moment 430 is a bit above budget , Im looking to spend about £100,000 so Lambo is also a possible option , going to use the car several times a week although do have another car as well,
estimate around 5-6k miles a year.
Any help would be appreciated ,

General advice normally given on here seems to be try and get yourself a test drive in each to see what suits you. Each of the models you mention has their supporters as well as their detractors. One man's meat and all that.
They are beautiful cars vying for the same market, and each will have it's plus points and minus points. Only you can decide which has more plusses outweighing the minuses.
Good hunting.

what The Chick said! 
Monty, been having same thoughts as you but decided it's worth raising the budget a little to £110k for an early 430/Gallardo 06. Also considering others like the Ford GT but LHD is a marker against them, personally.
P.S. Anyone contemplating privately selling either an orange/white Gallardo SE/06 or black 430, is welcome to mail me. Thanks.

Depends what its for reckon?
Gallardo is an option, as is the 360, though depreciation may be an issue? If its for track action, maybe worth considering a GT3 RS?
Me personally, with that budget (in another world), it would be a fully swept-up Diablo, for pure supercar feeling and lairyness. Also I believe the depreciation hit would be about as low as supercars get.

I think you could be right , a couple of handbags and a few pairs of shoes for the good lady and i maybe able to talk her into letting me splash some more money and have an early 430 , Has anyone dealt with Lovetts at Swindon ?
A few of the boys on CS have bought from Swindon. I use Cardiff for servicing and have been very impressed, particularly with pricing!!!When I was down there a couple of weeks ago, they had a very nice 430 Coupe in Nero Daytona with crema carbon sports seats. Check via http://www.ferrari.co.uk/index.php?page=preowned and click on car locator on the RHS.
The car's nothing to do with me, nor do I know the owner.
