Hi Fahad,
Thanks for your last PM...I should go visit you sometimes
I had shared a few thoughts with Roy some time ago about him finding a car for me in the US, as the exchange rate, in that way, is good now. Howver, I still don't see how I'm going to deal with this from the other side of the world. It would be too bad to mobilze Roy to find me a good car for a cheap price, and have it stay in a hangar somewhere in France for months, if not years, waiting for the time I can spare a month to take care of the administration. And of course, no company or dealer would want to do this for me of I don't buy the car form them
Besides..I'm not going go back in Europe very often this year (maybe a week in July, and another week in October). I already feel bad about Tahiti sleeping in a showroom, there's no need to double my agony

Treat a car well and it will return the favor.

I have put nearly 20,000 miles on my Gallardo in the last 12 months, and it runs as reliably as my Honda S 2000. I believe that the people that put a Gallardo or Murci in a garage, and only use them a couple of times per month, and never longer drives or fast operation, are actually HURTING the car's longevity. I think these cars need to be driven several days per week, and they should be driven at high, 4500 plus rpms as much as possible. This keeps everthing lubricated the way it is supposed to be, and I believe this is why my car is so reliable ( because I am constantly using it, and constantly running it at 4000 to 7000 rpms).
Even the clutch on my Gallardo still runs as if it is new--this on a 2004 Gallardo.

I'm getting closer to 100,000KM. I just hit 72,000KM and still going strong. Twin Turbo conversion went on at 64,000KM and it is like a brand new car!

I don't know how but I totally missed this thread. I just read through it and all I have to say is, pugads650 consider yourself luck. Had I seen your comments earlier, you would have gotten the boot. We do not allow bashing and nonsense remarks here. You have been warned.
