What car next?
Discussion
So having had it confirmed my Gallardo Spyder has gone, what do we think I ought to have next?
On the not very shortlist currently are...
Lambo LP560
Ferrari 612
Aston V8
Audi R8
Porsche 911
I know there is a big spread in prices there, I think it's one of the first 2 really?
Any other ideas?

similar quandry myself ...
a 612 in terms of driving and aesthetic experience is nowhere near as good as a 599 , which in my opinion (depreciation aside) is the best all rounder there is
I sold the Carrera GT a while back as it didn't fit down my underground car park . I test drove the 599, LP640 and SLR and whilst the 599 was my favourite the knowledge that they will tank and tank hard (usually as soon as I buy one) steered me away from that (I will buy one at 150k)
The LP640 is a superior car to the 6.2 , but simply in my eyes not double the car (£ for £)
The SLR has done it's share of depreciation and actually with it's accessibility feels a lot quicker than my old CGT . Laugh out loud silly seat of your pants quick. Amazing all rounder. Not to everyone's taste , but i've always had a softspot for them
Dion::Elms did the business as usual ... bridging the gap with a stunning Pearl Yellow 6.2 Murci and a SLR en route (fingers crossed)

Why a 612 rather than a 599?
Half the price if you buy used.Edited by jonny5 on Wednesday 9th July 16:31

what are your real priorities ?
I don't need practical, I need drama, an event to drive and to look at.

Weeping because I was very sad it went!
Knock the V8Vantage off your list - you'll think you've left the handbrake on! But IF you can get yourself on the list, the V12 engined version - all 550bhp of it - is launching next spring. There'll only be 500 so probably reasonably safe place for your readies too. I notice no Scud. on your list either - there are a few 'extra' cars floating around the dealers I hear......
