my new (dirty) mistress

[70proof]

too cold and drizzly to give her a wash.... but i took some pics anyway.....



plate will soon be changed, so no editing...



and no that is not my house!
first impressions..... surprisingly easy to drive, even around town... no kangarooing.....that might be thanks to the egear.....
hides its speed so well..... can see what people mean re mp4/12c and aventador..... mini cooper s feels faster at sane speeds.....
sound above 6k revs is to live for......though initially one does think why so noisy at 30mph!!

thanks all...... what makes it IMHO is the titanium callisto's...... i would have titanium over any other colour for the alloys with any colour....

My thoughts exactly. I've never understood lamborghinis in dark and boring colours such as black, lighter (and more outrageous) colours show the shape of the car better.

Congratulations, and enjoy your dream car!

almost brought black, have to thank iandc for bringing verdi ithaca to my attention.....black does hide the lines, but citrus does shout look at me....

dream car.... unfortunately not, that would be an murci lp670-sv in aranchio borealis....

Don't get me wrong, they are nice in pretty much any colour, just wouldn't be my personal choice....

you mis-read my reply... i agree with you.... the louder the better!

Seem like a black roof; is that an SE?

I'm liking the black mirrors.

not an se, but has a wrap on the roof and resprayed (grey) wing mirrors and rear wing, copying the se look....

Is the plate not yours? If it is, do you own a building company on Herts?

plate is not mine, prev owner owns said building company, i will transfer plate back to him...
car was local to st neots, and still is now i suppose.... small world heh..

mark, no tunnels yet... need to head to east london.... blackwall, rotherhithe and lime house link all within a mile of eachother...

given car will undergo a plate change, mischief set in and i have just purchased L4MVO .... it ain;t l4mbo i know, but say it fast and it ain;t far off... surprised it was still available.... GA11 RDO is available for 40K!

[70proof]

tuvra...... thanks for the photoshop but i actually would like more green not less!! did think of getting the wrap removed from the roof straight away but decided to live with it as it looks good and lots of tree sap etc where i park at work....

gobbyone, hope you had a good trip, will you honour your word re the cheque...
200notes to Papworth Hospital Charitable Funds C249
thanks...

With SL wing and dodgy wheels:

great look, where can i get a wing!....

[70proof]

sa_20v said:

Here
Or here
Perhaps here?

they may not like it if i remove the wings of those cars in the middle of the night!!!


got offerred the orange one for 110 with the scissor doors, was told the doors were going to be restored if i said no, so surprised it is back up for 120 with the scissors still there.....
given the prev thread, also surprised all three remain unsold, and price drops.... but lets not discuss that here, this is not an sl thread.....

Very nice purchase, very much like a Mistress we once had... http://youtu.be/JL8mwf_oZuk?hd=1

Enjoy!

Anyway you enjoying it ?

early days yet, haven;t driven any twisties in anger.....and havent; really floored it...

loving the sound, above 4k rpm anyway....
e gear is nice, and easy, even in town.... haven;t tried corsa mode yet...
suspension is pliant and stiff at the same time, there;s a ridge in the middle of one roundabout which unsettles the alpina, the gallardo is planted....
makes you realise just how epic the s62 engine in the e39 m5 was...
not yet found a truly comfortable seated positon....
loving the colour and the looks, strange as i always preferred the nurci to the gallardo...

might be getting under my skin as you say!

not too long ago drove an oakley prep gt3 and tuscan on track, and was underwhelmed, so i guess the g is doing something right...

[quote=Gretchen]And despite hoping that might be a nice replacement, I can't help but think it'll be something more family friendly. [quote]

like a matt black lp640 recently sold by sevenoaks...

Gretchen said:

Lambos, so common round here now

who'd have thought it heh...

theres a green murci round here, is the owner on PH?

[70proof]

hiya mate...

not driving her enough, man life;s too busy....
but when i do drive her... can;t stop smiling, and neither can the kids...

she's going in for a detail tomorrow, at juniper in royston, will post some pics..

glad you are enjoying the murci, must get a spin in it...
fancy some beers some time...?

juan king said:

How can you afford a lambo, yet be unable to distinguish between bought and brought?

i don't really concentrate when i type and bought always comes out brought... sorry!

- Less time spent proof-reading equals more timing earning money... It may be why you drive a MX-5 and not a Lamborghini

even if i did proof read, i probably wouldn;t correct it.... i don;t at work either.... shows a human element to the letter/post, and may even get a laugh, maybe....

juan king said:

I'll let you off. Stunning car btw!

thanks, wait for tomorrows pics.... car doesn;t need it, but why not...
think its getting an all over with smartwax products, just googling for reviews...

I saw that number plate on a black murc last sunday in St.Neots.

Nice car

thats the lord's car... lp640 in matt black with aranchio calipers and black wheels.......
the murci is local to st neots, so expect to see it loads...
plate has been transferred back, the bogey now wears L4MVO....

Mattt said:

Did the plate come from Andrew Wessom registrations limited?

nope, straight off the dvla select registrations website....
