Re: Lamborghini Gallardo: Test Drive Review

Oh yes mate, I really did enjoy all of it


PS: Now, how do I get off the high of driving one of those monsters? I had to go out tonight and work the GranSport (safely of course ) to try and get the Gallardo off my head

Having driven BF's GranSport I can assure all here that driven hard, it gives a very good "high" as well (how else does one drive a GS? )...

Re: Lamborghini Gallardo: Test Drive Review

Nah, that'd highjack the thread


Man, just offered a Gallardo Spyder from a guy leaving Japan for ¥19m. 1 year old, 6k km, black exterior, black/red interiors.

Aaaaaaaaaaaargh!

Re: Lamborghini Gallardo: Test Drive Review

¥19Mill

Ooooooooohhhh...so tempting! If you were to have a Gallardo Spyder for that price - which new I cant even guess yet; would you still be tempted to have the Masser GT...? Decisions decisions...

I dont know, for me as much as I LOVE the Gallardo Spyder, it would be a bit of a show car with less function and more onroad costs, maybe the M GT would be more functional, less akward and less of a show car with more subtle ellegance.

Besides...6K is minimal. Most probably a garage trophy perhaps...?
