Lamborghini Gallardo
« on: February 15, 2013, 04:56:51 pm »
Just filling up at Tesco when suddenly; a wild Lamborghini Gallardo appeared





And I couldn't resist:


Then I noticed him putting normal fuel in. I asked him why he didn't use Momentum. Apparently it doesn't need it.

They make a nice noise :happy2:

Haha, I asked him first. And we chatted for a bit. He waited for me to come back outside from paying before starting it.

Yeah, they only need 95 RON strangely. Perhaps I could use that to persuade the wife...

It seems odd that VW recommend 98 for the Golf really doesn't it

Not in 2013! 
Must have seen over a hundred since 2007....
Now if it was a Murcielago or Reventon...

Still a nice motor... esp. the 1250whp Twin Turbo one on YT.

We don't get too many nice cars in Devon...especially not in Plymouth. Though I did see a really, really nice Ferrari 458 Italia on a back street barely wide enough for it.

That video is amazing. That speedo goes up SO fast. The girl is really pretty too.

Agreed, re. the drive at least. I think they look stunning even today with the fighter jet angles, but I did 9 laps in an early Gallardo Spyder with the horrible stalk shift auto and the slow gear change ruined the drive.

Other than that, it was okay but massively underwhelming to drive compared with the 996 Turbo and Phase 1 R35 GTR I drove in the same day  :smiley:
