Not read the rest of the replies but surely passionford is about the least knowlegeable site you could ask for advice on a lambo on! 
Come on Martin, why didnt you just say ''woo hoo im getting a lambo''

There are 2 Lambo owners that I know of that use PF... and one has a Gallardo and you know him Mart so give him a bell!
So its not the worst place to ask for advice....
I actually know quite a bit about them as well
clutches are your main problem... especially on early E-Gears.
But nothing you couldn't uprate or modify yourself Mart.
Have a read of this thread. Not read it myself but this is normally a good forum to look on in my experince.

Mart, if you come down to London next week at all. I just asked my mate and he said you can have a go in his. He is off to france in it on Friday though. So early as poss
Its an E-Gear though....
I think you should get a manual. Less to go wrong!

Thats a Superleggera... WORST one to buy if you ask me!!!
Will get hammered in depreciation as the faster and better 560-4 replaced it almost immediantly....
Also Marts looking at a £50-60k car.... so why post one thats DOUBLE THAT?!?!

I would defo speak to Shonky, because if he discounted getting one, it would have been for a good reason .
Personally after our discussion the other day, I think for Jen to use as well, the other car would be a better bet, and they're PROPERLY coming down in price.

Yes, sorry for the confusion

Bet Mikes talking about an Aston! or M6's are amazing value now!!!
but even though they are unbelievably cheap.... Martoons CLEARLY having a midlife crisis here and only a Ferrari or a Lambo are gonna be able to scratch this itch
ALSO Martoons crisis has come at a great time really as there is some amazingly cheap Supercars out there. They won't ever go UP in value... but they really won't go alot cheaper in my opinion. a £60k Gallardo is still going to be a £45k car in a say 2 years at the worst I reckon! and it make you smile EVERY morning when look at it! and thats just LOOKING at it... driving it will be awesome fun and a wicked pose.

I REALLY wanna abuse you for being a thick welsh inbred cnut but I am not allowed to
As Coziboy will complain against me as he is a proud welshman (with no sense of humour) and I will get ANOTHER infraction
Shame as I know you love Welsh abuse Gareth! I'll PM you some
