Not been on here for ages and I did wonder what was going on at Reyland with all your stuff being on ebay for sale !

Its fair to say I would take the lambo over anything you have had, thats one stunning car and you've worked hard for it so fair play.

Should have gone for a black rs turbo with a dyno print out written in green crayon, would have been faster.

However, stunning car. You must be chuffed!

Its something you have wanted for a long time Martin you have earned the money so enjoy it. You know as I also know that life can be snuffed out by health problems this is not a rehearsal for life this is it so enjoy it. For me its a 1947 Jaguar 2.5 when the Saff goes lets hope im young enough to buy one.

Don't fuck about Rod sell the Sapphire now and stop wasting money, you dont have anything to prove other than whats in your head Buy that Jag if thats what you want, you wont regret cutting the chord.. I know I don't. I'm annoyed with myself that I left it until I was 50 to buy the Murcielago, hopefully I have lots of years with it.

What a beauty Martin, you still owe me a ride in the Escort but I guess I'll have to make do with this beast now lol,

Looks amazing but good damn I bet it's a real pain in the ass to keep clean. What are your plans for it? Light use and fun or is she going to see some proper abuse on track? Gotta be done surely lol

I will keep good my promise for a ride Not sure if I want to abuse it on track tbh as it will get stone chipped to death, another consideration is parts costs.. They're on another planet.. For instance a front bumper is 10k and thats buying it from a non franchised dealer!

Absolutely stunning looking car martin, enjoy in good health mate

That is just pure evil!! In a crazy optical illusion way, the plate really finishes it off.

Be great if you got the oppertunity for you to do a vid please

You must literally bounce out of bed in the morning like a kid in a candy shop

nice car martin.. my rs turbo sold ages ago ..you transformed it after mapping it ..was a joy to drive. . I bought a series one custom and sold it too..no more fords though now as I own a evo gsr but its not quick being all standard so I wont say watchout LOL .. nice lambo though fair play it must be mind blowing driving one and the sound.. I raced one ages ago it didn't have the high spoiler like yours but did sound awesome ..behind me lol .. if you were still mapping I would happily drop the evo off for a set up and check over.. ages ago my mate had a lambo for his wedding.. crashed it.. someone pulled out and clipped the rear wheel sending him spinning round and into a lamppost, id post some pics but don't want to high jack the thread. any way goodluck with it lovely car
