    Nothin wrong with that, I had a Diablo and loved it, and am always eyeing up a Countach. These things are not exclusive.

    Congratulations Robbie! I remember you eyeing one of these a few years back at the Classics on the James so it's great to see a dream come true. Let us know what you think after a few months.

    LOVE IT !!!! I'm pretty sure you won't be calling for parts. Those damn cars just run, and run, and run. Energizer bunny style.

    So far, the power is not even close, the Gallardo is freakin fast. But from a comfort standpoint I think I was more comfortable in the 355 and you can see your surroundings much more in the 355, much better visibility...

    I actually looked really hard at the 430 Scud, but have wanted a Gallardo for so many years I figure I would do the Lambo now. Maybe a Scud in a few years...

    tough decision.. :eek: .............. I would have a hard time between the two also ...... but would likely go scud just for its great 'tech' components and reputation around fiorano .... :eek:

    However the gallardo looks great and from what I understand, has a very robust build too!! Congratulations again 285 ........ it is a beautiful car ......... :D

    I had an opportunity to drive a couple of flavors of Gallardo at the Lamborghini Experience in Las Vegas a couple of years back. The Gallardo has some quick acceleration and handles well. I do still prefer the F355 even if it doesn't have the kick of the Gallardo. A few current Lambo owners at the event were cursing their e-gear issues. I guess 3 pedals is the way to go for the Gallardo for most dependability.
