great fun everyday though... if a little impractical!


So, it would be:
Dearer than his current 2 cars
Less good on track than his track car
Less good on the road then his road car
If he crashes on track, he has no car for work


To me that sums up how right he has it already!

Oh and the black pic you put up is the nuts.
Black car, seats, wheels. Lovely.

There's a db9s that lives near me, it was gloss black when new, I now assume he's had it wrapped, it's now matt black but with gloss black racing stripes, and db9s written down the sides of the car, that looks very nice.
It's also got new number plates, with prodrive written on the bottom, I wonder if it's been to them for work.

Twin Turbo LS7.

Probably the most effortless way to 1000bhp.

Chip, are you talking about that yellow Monaro? IIRC that's the guy and his wife's 10,000 mile per year "shopping car" and he also has an Aston and a Lambo for "fun".

Amazing machine.

WAY more than I want to spend sadly mate.
It HAS to be a drop top....

The Scuderia droptop is the F430 16M. One is for sale on pistonheads for Ł199,000....

this one. Lovely.... but Ł200k???



If I was gonna spend that much.... I'd be looking at Carrera GT's instead!

If I was as rich as you Micheal I would be buying one of those RIGHT THIS SECOND!

I fear the problem would be that as capable as it is, the Gallardo would feel too much like an expensive Audi (or a 996 Turbo for that matter...)

was my first choice as well carlo!!!!

A black spyder... I was set and found the one I wanted.

but after doing some research and talking to some people.... I was talked out of it.

The 430 is the much better car I hear. UNLESS you can stretch to a new LP-560... thats the daddy.

well it was... but now the new 458 is better than that I hear.

If it was a hard top you were going for i would say 430 but i think the Galardo is the better looking spider. The Murci is on another level again proper hyper car
