Can’t say a big enough thank you to Russ for letting me drive his new car before even he has!
Background - 4 weeks ago, Russ has operation on shoulder to fix old sports injury. His right arm continues to be strapped to his waist, & is likely to remain so for another 2 or 3 weeks. Last week he gets the okay from the boss to buy a Gallardo, whilst still keeping the Exige, but promising to sell the Esprit Sport 300! Deal is done, & Gallardo is ready for collection today. The boy includes me on the insurance, & hey presto I’m in seventh heaven driving the Gallardo this afternoon What an awesome car - even though keeping to a limit of 5000rpm out of the max of 8000rpm. Hard to imagine how extraordinarily quick this 500bhp 4wd supercar will be once it’s fully run in.
Sorry about the viewing problem. The pics are posted in an album I’ve created in http://uk.yahoo.com
I’ve changed the settings for “public viewing”, so please will you try the link again - ta. If it still doesn’t work, let me know & I’ll post the photos into a Bookatrack Gallery.
Just got in from showing off to all and sundry - with the boss driving of course. The Peskmeister did me a big favour today by driving it back, so cheers Dad! Veronique is due credit as well for going down on me once she had been in the car!!! When I am fit, all & sundry are welcome to a pax drive.
Nice one Russ, the boy done good.
Can I pop round at the weekend and drool over it knowing the minds of some people on here - I mean the Lambo not VV…
P.S. Will you still be speaking to us mere mortals?
Didn’t now you had a Sport 300 too? Is that Lord Whitter’s ex-car?
Anyway, the Gallardo sounds great and black or orange are the colours to go for IMO. Looking forward to a full review at sometime including on track impressions please… I’m thinking of selling my Mk1 GT3 CS and considering a few silly cars just now.
P.S. Tubi are developing a sports exhaust for the Gallardo that may be worth a gander/earful.
