Lambo Gallardo, what to look out for?
There's no way a Gallardo will become a 25k car so I don't really care.

when you get one martin how long do you think youll have it before you start modifying it
lol.
i know if i had 60k[plus im sure ] i would buy your escos and piss all over the lambo every time i saw you out posing.
ps your money is safer in the glovebox of the lambo than in a bank at the minute.

Drove one on a red letter day, thought it was pretty slow, and they have a tendency to set alight because the oil filter is to close to the exhaust. We were by the track as this one guy pulled up in the yellow Gallardo, as he walked away there was all smoke coming from it. The supervisors were going mad trying to move all the cars away from it. The instructor said the owner had only just got the orange one back with the same problem. Dashboard reminded me a bit like an Audi TT. Nice car sound awesome. Only just noise legal for the track at Prestwold Hall.

The only thing to look out for with these is the clutch-dont last!they are tiny,i did one last month i vertually took the whole back end off! i test drove it after-tbh i would rather a ferrari 360 imo.
i found it abit clunky and it vibrated abit as the exhaust are bolted to the chassis via small coil springs
but as for looks there amazing this was orange with dark gray rims!

Thanks for that I had heard that was a weak point

It would deffo be worth changing the exhaust,ive dealt with 2 with std exhaust on and when i was at le man 24hr there was one revving up with sports exhaust and de cats it sounded amazing
i found std ones dont sound all that compared to a std ferrari 360 or 430 which sound like a f1 car....ish

A good pal of mine bought one new in 2007 and regretted every moment of ownership. Very fragile clutches and poor build quality very his two biggest bugbears. Earlier cars have a tendancy to gearbox problems and they all go through crank oil seals at about 10k miles. The reason they are cheap for a supercar is due to all the niggles plus they are not all that to drive imo.
Up with the very best when it comes to knicker elastic breaking tho!
Once you have driven one I reckon you will look elsewhere for an exotic.
