Must be an absolute nightmare driving these things in traffic!

When Gemma gives me some of her "Euro Millions" there is no way I would consider getting something like that.

Somebody came to see a neighbour, when I was at a friends place, in a Gallardo, which is much smaller, and it made a hell of a racket as he turned it round
in something like a six point turn!

Then they went off and came back and he did it all again.

Must have used half a gallon of petrol doing it.

Must have put handbrake on (does it have one ?) and throttle over-road it.

Valet was probably son of hotel employee....Dad a tad embarrassed.

I thought he was trying to straighten it up


If he followed the 'fck it, it will do' approach favoured by people such as myself none of this mess would have occurred Cool

There are only a few "super-cars" that you could live with every day in this country, and Lamborghini is not one of them".

Need to look at Porsche, Audi, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Alfa Romeo and maybe a few more.

All with sensible dimensions and decent visibility.

Coincidentally I am picking up my "Audi TT Quatro DSG" tomorrow, as my new "toy", to replace my MX-5 which is a treasure,
but has now covered 11,344 miles so a bit long in the tooth...Laugh

Good Luck with your new toy.

My new toy was an Audi RS3.

Thinly vieled I can't spell veiled answer.

Also don't misjudge  hairdressers. My daughter's hair dresser, in Sydney, is as gay as could be and he is minted.
His gay partner (even more minted) bought him a "promise ring" with a seven figure sum diamond, and he likewise (as far as I know).

This stone is so huge that nobody would believe it is a real diamond!
I'll get Linzy to send me the photo again

He should have turned it round and parked it nose first.
Then the swanky b@stard owner would drive away, and not see it, maybe for some time, and not be able to lay the blame anywhere.

Have to say that all this revving of the engine is done for show!

There is ample power to maneuver at tick over, and no feathering of a clutch as there isn't one.

The system won't let you stall it so cut out the dramatics!

Loving my new one and the DSG gear box and "floppy paddles".

Only had it for one day, and I got pulled outside the village shop, by some old biddy who said she was just fancying a trip to Scarborough.

If she'd said Whitby I might have considered it, but she was at least ten years older than me,

Can just imagine her telling her friends about me being at least ten years older than her! Laugh

Well, make that the slightest touch of the throttle, as otherwise you go nowhere.
Report call me a taxi • May 18, 2014 5:39 PM BST
Now that is what I call funny.

Look st the distance it took to stop.

Definitely over the 30 mph speed limit imo.
