You should have seen us, we screamed like hell and my heart was pumping like a dog was chasing me or somthing. We almost crashed but damn that car was a beautiful sight. For the rest of the day I couldn't function properly and was thinking about the car even when I woke up the day after.
You get really tired of seeing them after a while

When I resize my pics to "avatar size" they come out blurred like that. If someone can tell me how to resize my digital pics without this blurring I will.

I don't think I could write a very illuminating report on the Gallardo. Here the streets are all straight, flat, and there is a stop light every couple hundred of yards. The drivers are pretty bad and its mostly watching out so you don't get hit! I only live 1 mile away from work and usually only drive the G on weekends anyway. Its rare I have to go more than 10 miles from home. That's why I try and go to the racetrack once a month or so, because its the only place you can really drive here anymore. Even so I don't take the G to the track because it is so hard on cars. Thats what I have my 914-6 for. The G is beautiful to look at and with a Tubi exhaust sounds fantastic, but it gathers more attention than I prefer. It feels explosively fast in a straight line- the sound of the exhaust helps a lot in this feeling, but it is actually not quite as fast as my GT3. The brakes are incredible though, much more "bite" than the GT3 brakes. I have not had to call on the handling very much though because of all the straight roads.
It needed a new clutch at 1100 miles, but it was replaced under warranty. The early cars had clutch issues (my car is #962, built November 2003) and I have ever since been afraid to launch the car hard because I don't know how good the new clutch is. I usually start gently and don't really get on it until the car is moving a good 20-30 mph. From there though it doesn't take long at all to hit 100 mph or more. There have been numerous other "factory updates" my car has had. It is at the dealer now (some 250 miles from my home) for a service and updates. I have shipped the car to the dealer twice now, using an enclosed car transport company. There are now 2100 miles on my car. I have only driven it on the highway once. I accelerated up to an indicated 170 mph and the car felt very stable. On a side note, my brother once had a letter to the editor published in Road and Track magazine, he claimed to have driven his Audi S4 well beyond the speed limiter listed in the road test. I think he said 150 mph if my memory is correct. Anyway, it was quite a surprise to read that letter in the magazine and my parents were not amused.

Re: Spotted today: Lamborghini Gallardo

Most of people with exotics drive them only on weekends...Do you sometimes go on a longer trip with G or just to track?? Is it boring to drive Lamborghini just in tow?? It gets kinda boring IMO...

That one with your brother is funny, haha .

Here, I resized the pic:

Re: Spotted today: Lamborghini Gallardo

Thanks, I replaced my avatar.
I don't even drive the G to the track (115 miles to Sebring). Just local trips around town. It is never boring driving it, it just never gets used anywhere near its potential.

Re: Spotted today: Lamborghini Gallardo

Like Murci roadsters - but red doesn't suit Lambos IMO.

Re: Spotted today: Lamborghini Gallardo

Today I saw a Ferrari Testarossa, a older gentleman drove the car. A Testarossa still looks amazingly good today

I also captured this baby with my cellular phone:

Sweden have about 9 million inhabitants, that's less than in New York. Although we are only 9 million inhabitants we sure got many expensive cars
