I got my Gallardo.
If you've read my previous thread you'll know the trouble I had with my old dealer. And that I've been waiting for my car since February.
But I got my deposit back. Found a car. Flew to Germany the next day. And after a nightmare with the dealer (Main dealer) which I'll explain later (price increase, 1 day trip turned into a 5 day trip, etc), I drove my car back
))))))))))))).
And what a drive
Northern Germany to Holland, Ferry to Harrwich and 100 miles to West London (home). Only regret was I couldn't take full advantage of the de-restricted Auto Bahn, because of the first 1k mile run-in restrictions.
I'll post some pictures later, but here's a description:
Silver
Black leather, with red stitching
E-Gear
Sat Nav
OBC
Alarm
Heated Seats
etc
BTW they had a nice collection of cars at the dealership:
Gallardo (Silver, Black, Orange, Yellow)
Murci (Yellow)
Diablo GTR (Yellow. Girlfriend couldn't believe "anybody would buy something this ugly" - lol)
DB9 (Silver, Black. Didn't like it in black at all, hides all the lines)
Vanquish (Black)
456 (My dealers car. Silver, was driven around in it all week)
550 (Various)
575 (Various)
360 Modena (About 7 of them)
360 Spider (About 5 of them)
360 CS (Red. In for repair, front spoiler had met with something sturdy)
612 (Dark Blue. Looks better in the flesh. But still very ungainly. Perhaps it was the dark colour. But if it didnt have the badge it wouldnt have a chance).
Some Masers and a Bugatti.
But I was in such a hurry to get over there, I left my digicam on the coffee table (dont know why I bought that f*****g thing, I never remember to take it anywhere. Worse still my bro's bought one of those tiny Panasonic solid state storage video cameras. And on our last 6 trips neither of us has remembered to take either camera
)
Anyway I digress.
Love the car. E-gear is great, no probs in traffic or ferry ramp (abt 45+ incline). Sat nav took me all the way home without any f-ups. Had it since Tuesday and still keep popping outside to look at it. Any excuse to drive it. The Sound blows me away, and anyone standing on the street
.
P.S. The dealer told me he got 23 mpg on two he drove back. Ofcourse I thought BS. But I got abt the 21+ mpg, still dont believe it (My BMW only does 30-33).
Ok, I'm off to look at the car again.
