Lambo Gallardo, what to look out for?
After a chat with Lee the other night and after checking prices it appears that a Gallardo's have fell out of bed pricewise and I wouldn't mind taking advantage of that.. Any genuine experience or tips that I should look out for?? I want a normal one not soft top..

Not selling the Escort, always wanted a Lambo though
It's not always about outright speed!

Helen drove one at Donnington, thought it was a bit gutless, she told the owner that the Escort was faster.

My mate has one. He's had 3 now. Providing your going for a manual, Anything between 2003 and 2005 with E-Gear had transmission problems. According to my mate the Automatic setting would get stuck and won't go back into paddle shift mode.

I drove one at the Stratford on Avon pay and drive thingy and I was pretty disappointed. I have to say I thought the 996 Turbo was in a different league and the V8 Vantage sounded nicer than both. Perhaps the Lambo comes alive at very high revs/high speeds, I don't know. If I won the lottery I don't think I'd bother with a Gallardo though, maybe a 430 or more likely a GT2
Having said that I normally drive a Sierra or a BMW 3-series...
