    Since a couple of people were asking, I've ordered a new Gallardo SE for delivery in a couple of weeks. Pearl yellow with black (and yellow) trim. Number 125 of 250. Supplied by my friendly Lambo dealer David Smoker in Adelaide with help from Andrew Smith in Melbourne.

    Happy days are here again! :D

    Very nice.

    Good sequence number too, right in the middle of production.

    Good luck with the sale of your existing one :)

    John, I've traded my 04 Gallardo - in the end it worked out best.

    Smart move. It is very hard to sell expensive cars privately.
    Congratulations on your new toy!

    Glad to hear it Mark. There's plenty more if need be!

    Btw, have you clocked up many k's in the "other car"? I've done 9k and loving it.....especially when no one is watching.

    Who says the M5 has to stay governed? :)

    Is the R5t the 1400cc one? Nice car for it's era and a collectable but you're dreaming about it passing the M5 at over 250. Then again, I could be wrong. Stick it on the truck too and we can find out.
