Day out with Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder

Hi

Just wanted to share :-) my folks purchased a track day for me at Kenilworth and I had the pleasure of driving the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder as well as getting to meet the Stig (The real one I was told but I reserve judgment). Wow what a car. I floored it and with a little flutter of the old eyelashes I got an extra lap.

Trouble is now I want one :o

Don't bother coming to the meet - gonna ignore you! You lucky, lucky...

The old one or the fat one (thinkin' he own the Murciélago) as the Stig?

Thanks for sharing...great pics :)

Did a Kenilworth/Prodrive day in 2004 in my then owned
    car, long circuit, adverse circuit, slalom, skid pan & some road stuff too.

    Good day albeit in an RX-8 & not a Lambo.

    Managed to emulsify my front tyres, (had never heard them squeal around corners in damp before), & hit the ton on the back bend. Only one moment pushing a bit to hard & when armco to nearside...........Brilliant day & top instructors.

    That is nice :)

    I always wonder if they set up speed traps anywhere near those places as it is hard to behave on the public roads 8-)

    Is that why it wears a helmet then...........ahh, I often wondered. :poke:

    Mind you it's an excellent disguise and that wig must have been expensive...... :P
