That made me laugh!
Oh and I know this was supposed to be a review, but what review is complete without photos:
Gallardo please?  |
Thanks! I've been a gear head for a while, all right
I had the Countach poster up on my wall for years (as I'm sure many others on this forum also did), and practically VOWED that someday I would own a Lamborghini (although back then, I pronounced it "Lamborgnee"... LOL - hey I was TEN!!!
).
Pics to come! It's a bit dull, grey, and still winterish here (but thankfully, the roads are dry!!! ) - pics to follow. I posted pics from the dealer in my original thread, that the dealer sent me when I was inquiring about the car:

Maybe these will suffice for the present?

You are most welcome! Thanks! Once I decided that an exotic was within reach, I vacillated back and forth between a Gallardo and an F430 Scuderia. In the end, I made the right choice for me, but some day, I will drive a Ferrari........

Yeah, come to another epic GTA meet if you can. We just had our first with over 50 BMWs, mostly M Cars, with a GTR crashing the party. Imagine if a Lambo crashed it!  hehehe
Post more pics buddy!!! |
Thanks, Jules
. I was hoping you'd have a read of this, and let me know your thoughts. I would LOVE to come out to TO this summer! Plans are afoot - just need to dump a few calls on a few suckers, errrr, I mean, arrange some on call coverage with colleagues for the summer, and I am there!!! It will be SO great to meet you face-to-face!!!

Hahahahahahaha - no kidding, hey? I was just seeing red because of the scratches on the hood, so it didn't even occur to me until afterwards, LOL. Funnily, when she saw us approaching, she did NOT make any huge effort to cease and desist her "pose".... hmmmmm...... interesting.....

LOL - MIKE, and after all we've been through... ostracized by my own bud.... oh, the PAIN..... haha...
Looking forward to meeting up with you this summer! Dates are set for Autocross with the BMW club here - I shall forward them. If you can't make it out here, we'll see you at Race the BAAAAAASE!!!!!!!
(Oh, and yes, absolutely, I will be autocrossing the Lambo - I need to gain some empirical evidence to support my theory regarding it being a lesser autocross car, in MY hands, hehe)(and also, to gain some experience driving it in anger, prior to Race the Base! Don't want to show up there and putt around the course like a granny, haha)
Thanks everyone. I'm glad I could share with y'all. Pics to follow - might be a while, as the weather, while phenomenally great this winter, still has a ways to go before it's pic-worthy outside!
