You'll feel like a rock star! What are you coming from?

Also shop around for servicing prices, varies massively between main dealers.

[Jonny TVR]

Coming from a 488 GTB.

The next service is due in August and was thinking of getting it done at the factory as planning an Italian trip. Due to my location servicing in the UK would have to be in Bristol.

Not for me but loooks absolutely savage.

Why the switch?

Huge congratulations, it looks amazing!!! Always catches my eye when you post, as you have a great collection of cars and garage, so when you mentioned changing the 488 (Which I know you have not had all that long) I was really hoping you made this switch!!

Well done!

Its been on my list for a while. The 488 was an incredible car but I didn't like the turbo noise and you seem to be always changing up a gear. I could certainly have lived with it. Decided it was a good time to try a Lambo

Thanks LHH. i have been desperate to get a Lambo for a while. I had been thinking about a first generation 2wd Diablo but really I need a more modern car as I hope to get some miles on it this year and want to use it all year round.

Many congratulations. It’s a lovely, lovely car - and one I was looking at too. I ended up with an identical spec one in Giallo Inti which I grabbed 2 weeks ago, just before it was advertised from Lambo Birmingham as I had a yellow car itch to scratch!

Make sure it had all the bits - compressor, centre lock lock tool etc. I also got a wireless apple play adaptor from Amazon which works well with the car.

I’d be interested to see what your initial thoughts are on the car. You are coming from a 488 - that was high up on my list of alternatives.

I meant the wireless adaptor!



That's mine.

[Jonny TVR]

I was thinking of changing my wheels to gold

Lovely pics and colour combos. Bronze and blue - amazing.

Here is the link to the adapter. Currently on offer. I’ve attached mine with Velcro tape to the side of the central tunnel just behind the driver seat. Very discrete.

Do it (though they're bronze Arancio Borealis with bronze wheels looks epic. It's what I was looking for until the perfect Verdi Mantis (with Bronze Narvis) car came up.

Enjoy in good health - they are epic!

Congrats, big fan of Performante’s. Had mine two years and engine is something else. Seems a fair bit of demand for them currently too, dealer wanted to buy mine during last service and had four clients looking. Enjoy.

Great choice and colour, Never driven either but should give more excitement and drama than the 488.

Being old skool , like you i was thinking Diablo or even go back to a Countach but with the way the roads and traffic are today will i

end up with yet another car to join my other rarely driven cars or go against the grain and go for something more sensible and modern .

Can't see anything that will come close to the Performante that i can drive on a more regular basis with the same theatre as the older

models, Look forward to update.
