Boys and their toys

Burnt up clutches instead.
Having driven neither, i don't have personal experience. But the word is that the new Lambos are to much Audi and not enough Italian. They've lost a lot of soul.
So my Lotto winnings are earmarked for a 575. 430 if it's only 2nd division.

If the 575's anything like the 550, i'd consider it boring to the max.
430 Is supposed to be a great great car. I'll let you know how the cabrio 430 goes when my mates one turns up in dec/jan

Never been a Lambo fan myself. If I won lotto, i'd be going for the 996 Turbo, best bang for buck from what i've been in so far. Not sure if the price for the manual is still $295k

Go the 575m's! Thats on my wishlist too. Or maybe a Vanquish. Hell, why not both . . .

The reality is that a DB9 would be far more useable Lou. Not the Volante though it's reputed to be more show than go.

So you're a fan of the sitting frog profile too??

I'd personally buy a boxster and give it to RUF to drop a 997 motor into.

Its gotta have the wing, Looks too goofy without one.
Hrm, never been a fan of the boxter shape myself.

The turbo's torque and grip are nuts. Tiptronic is arse, feels too slow. Manual all the way! Comfy too.. 550's cabin was arse.

Lambo's are the phatest, the meanest shit, on the face of earth!!!! Any of the V12s or V8s or the V10 sound horny as fuck!

A Ferrari V12 sounds more beautiful though...

If I was some hot shot rich dude, I'd get me a Ferrari 355 Berlinetta or a 360 Modena. Good for going around town and picking up chix, going for a blast through the twisties or do the odd track days...

[justsomeguy]

yeah, there was a 4wd diablo.. don't know how many they sold actually. Wasn't the 'removable roof' SE 4wd too? Anyway, it wasn't added to make them safer. It was added to get the car moving quicker instead of sitting there and burning up the rubber

The SE was a RWD model only and very sporty (motorsport use). Valentino Balboni Lamborghini's chief test driver reckons safety was pretty high on the priority list too.

The 360 Spider in Giallo Fly (ferrari yellow for the non believers :P) is absolute porn. Real head turner. Downshifts with the F1 box sound sexy from behind.

To do that get a Lotus Exige - would be a lot more fun in the real world and they should be faster than your average Ferrari with very little effort.

Or buy a TVR is you think you really have big balls.

I've got a CD with the engine notes of 28 cars being taken through the gears - you can borrow it if you like.

I can vouch for the TVR Griffith 500. Although the owner wouldnt even take it out if it was too humid No traction control, no ABS, arse loads of torque.
Oh the noise! *gets wet*

That new sagaris is sexy.
