Keith has a lot of time for his customers too... bought car from him .... very helpful and resourceful.
Sounds very cool.... I would imagine job will take quite a few weeks to complete. Who doing the detailing for you? A skilled artist would be required.
Thanks Des for playing a great host again. Good meeting up with everybody! Look forward to future gatherings since there are so many of us around the area. Bummer dude. How long till the void gets filled though another acquisition... -

About the Gallardos. I had my late '04 edition for 6months, clocked 3000+kms & did a trackday. Maxed @ 265km/h but it could go farther. Tubi Tried an '06 SE last night just after 12K service. Larini. Very different cars IMO. Now I know why Phil misses his old G. The earlier one is very rev happy, you could drag your gears higher due to longer ratios, steering rack was shaper/tighter, Egear "click" is distinctly different & you can hear a clonk sound when u engage first. (not everyone likes this) Only **** is the surge when moving off & it doesn't happen all the time but mine was a 1st generation clutch, a S$7K job & "F" series clutch with software upgrade will improve this significantly or so they say. The 06. Car feels "softer", civilised is the word I would describe. From neutral, u engage 1st, you simply squeeze the Egear softly & there's no sound or feeling of gear engagement, only the # on your panel. Upshifts are very smooth & I'd change earlier, only realised the difference when I was slowing down to turn in & found I was on 1gear higher than usual! The thick steering wheel is nice & meaty but power steering a little light & soft IMO. This should be adjustable to suit driver? but it's definitely easier to handle even with one hand, not sure if that's a good thing on hi-speed runs. The throttle intake has a strange & almost irritating "shreik" noise when I step & even on releasing the A-pedal. I didn't have this on my G, does any of you G owners hear that? Workshop says it's inherent for 06 onwards. My Murcie has K&N sports cone & has a wonderful induction sound everytime I step on the A-pedal, kind of like turbos spinning. The brake pedal is spongy. Maybe steel brake lines helps? Oh yes, the downshifts on sportsmode. God I miss that! & the Larini simply belts out a song Overall the 06 is an improvement in terms of handling & hardware IMHO. It's a more civilised car in everyway, better for daily use for the general buyers. But I like a little rawness in my ride. My M feels heavy, a 100kg lighter would be nice or maybe thinner rubbers back there. The new exhaust is so loud I'd only change no higher than 4K rpm but when u hit pass 5k, another 50horses seems to be pullling u but that's 3 figures territory no-no.
