Gallardo, what a car!

[boobles]

Had the privilege of driving a Gallardo around Silverstone today & wow, what a car!
Simply stunning performance & handling. Massive respect to anyone lucky enough to own one!
My overall mark from the instructor was 87% which i was well pleased with.
Absolute awsome car.......... I want one!

Lambo's have always from about the age of 10 been my dream car but i have never been lucky enough to drive one until yesterday. If i could buy one i would without any hesitation at all.
Thank you to Miss Boobles who organized this for me. You have made one of my dreams come true.

Just changed my 348 and test drove a few gallardos, F430's and acouple Stradales.
Out them all (in similiar price range) the stradale drives, handles performs the best. Not has much luxury inside but simple epitic driving machine

But were you driving like a granny?

After driving the Lambo it made me realize how much i actually miss my Elise for pure fun factor.

Now now, i realize both cars are like chalk & cheese!
I was basing it on the fun factor & nothing more. Very simular driving position though.

I had a shot of a Gallardo, I was really looking forward to it. I didnt like it, which was a real shocker to me. It was fast, it handled really well, looks great. What I didnt like was a lack of feel through the steering and it didnt squirm about much. I know thats supposed to be a positive, but it killed it fot me. No squirming about when you're pressing through corners, I didnt know I was alive. I hope all cars dont get this good.
