Well, the Gallardo is a car that can really be driven by almost anyone.

The car is truly spectacular, with sheer power being the defining characteristic of this monster. But the looks are also extremely attractive: suffice to say for the first time in my life I saw someone whip out a camera and take a picture of me (well, the car really) whilst I was at a red light.
Thats exactly what I thought.. Other than the brakes, which are very sharp, you could just jump in it and drive. I suppose you'd get used to the brakes, but if you press them like you press a normal car's brakes in normal driving you will butt the wheel Although I was driving the one with ceramic brakes so I'm not sure if the steel would make any difference. Sharper when cold but less good when hot maybe?

Glad you enjoyed yourself Biggie
