I don't know, we have just been told that Chris Harris will arrive after lunch in the Lambo LP640 roadster. I’m guessing it probably is the yellow one same as Top Gear had, can't be too many roadsters in the country.

You don't fancy bringing the SL do you? It would be interesting to see the performance difference between the Murci and the SL.

[jonny5]

Not my bag , sorry. LP will represent well tho.

[Torque07]

Yeah the Murci should do well. I’ll be taking pleanty of video and pics so will post them up when I get back should be a great day.

It hunts like a bastard when moving slowly that car (it's a flappy paddle one). Makes you look a right clown if you're not careful.

Yeah, there's got to be something wrong there as if I remember rightly the red press car was faster than that. I couldn't comment on my car V an LP640....yet

Back on track, a bit. The roof on said motor. Comical to be honest. Carbon panel that you leave at home would be better. Actually an old cardboard box cut up and poster painted black would be better.

Let me do that for you, 640 will batter your FGT, until it breaks down of course

I already know the result. You're just guessing.

Refers to the 640 "of course"

But not really guessing after 3500 quick coupe miles

Ok, I'm sure you know best.

[jonny5]

VMAX anyone ?

Dunno, I think Mr & Mrs Ruf have that wrapped up at the moment.

this one ?

[longbow]

Yes, it's that one..... has the Italian plates on it. I have the VRN on my hotmail but can't access it on my work PC. Absolutely gorgeous car........... Can't wait to see how fast it is in relation to some other hot metal, especially at the hands of Chris Harris................

[SimonMaidenhead]

Shame I can't make it now, recon I could have given it a decent run
