Check the spec!!

I'm guessing that's just the visual pack leather, the touch pack was gear gaiter, handbrake and steering wheel wasn't it?

How do you manage to have that on a 2005 car? It was only available very early 2004 iirc?
 
Ah, I see what they've done here!

The car is the one I chopped-in. The spec is for the car I bought off of them (Gallardo) with revisions.............

Can't help you re the availability of the ID packs..... It was as ordered by the first owner. ID visual.
 
How is the gallardo? Can you compare it to the vee in anyway? Not performance but in terms of public reaction, feelings for the cars?
 
Interesting question!

The Vee was much more fun to drive because you are able to take far greater liberties. Once I'd realised that it needed to be grabbed by the scruff of the neck and abused, then the Clio and I really gelled. On winter tyres in the damp last year, every roundabout was another hairpin on the Col de Turini. Brilliant! The short wheelbase, high roll-centre and RWD meant that it would travel sideways at will.

The Lambo requires much more respect and feels quite wooden in comparison. The thrust and outright lateral grip are phenomenal, but it isn't as much outright fun.

Don't misunderstand the next bit.....

I owned an F355, driving it as an everyday motor for five years and in that time I took it into London once, on the evening of Easter bank holiday Monday, and into my then home town, Windsor, not once. I buy cars to drive, not to pose in. Prior to the Ferrari were two Esprits, a GT3 and a V8GT, both in yellow. I'm quite used to driving conspicuous motors. The Clio wasn't one. Most have actually no idea. Those that know, know. The Gallardo on the other hand? In slow traffic on the M25 the other day, I checked my mirrors to see four mobiles trained on me at the same time. It's an adult shade of blue, although the plate rather shouts! But still, inconspicuous it ain't.

However.....

As an everyday drive? Lambo. The punch is great and the interior is just so much better to spend time in. And on an open A-road. Wow!
 
Maybe if it had been LY you would have got a lot more attention!!!! Seriously I can appreciate where you are coming from because all the other cars would get attention cos I would be one of them giving them attention!! As you say those that know know in regards to the clio whereas a Lambo looks mighty impressive with its shark-like features and everyone knows what it is and will look cos its a Lambo. Seriously cool car with performance to match!!

I guess 4321 GO is on the Lambo! Probably the best no. plate in the world!!
