We were turning onto the M40 today towards London when I spotted an orange Murcielago waiting to join the roundabout, virtually the height of the guardrail beside it. A second later I saw the ground scraping intakes that meant one thing, it was an LP640.

We hit the M40 and got in the middle lane (overtaking mind, no moron madness here) camera at the ready. One anxious minute later a pair of ice blue xenons rapidly grew in the passenger side mirror . In an instant the car disappeared from my mirror, across the rear-view and into the far side mirror, accompanied by a high pitch howl.

The car then catapulted past our car and my camera lens was clacking like a 1940s cinema projector. The pictures below show a sequence and also a wallpaper I made up (click for extra high res - should be good for most screens).





Every time I see an LP640 they never fail to astonish me (as did the swiss plates). If it was actually anyone on here, thanks for making my day. Certainly very brave driving in this weather, especially as flamboyantly as that!

Yeh it actually looked very good in an unconventional orange. The wheels were actually just standard silver - I think they came out white when I graded the photo. Looks good though!
