New Murcielago arrived!!

[simonspider]

Well Sept 1st was a day I wont forget in a hurry! Picked up the Murci from Darren at Lambo Manchester at about 11am. Took it very steady on the way home, it does'nt shrink around you like the 355 does. I've got to keep to 4500rpm for the first 500 miles or so,but it is very hard! I am a bit taken aback by the attention it gets, the 355 gets a lot but while travelling in the slow lane of the motorway this car had traffic backed up in the fast lane for half a mile or so. Colour does'nt help-pearl orange. The gearchange is slower and more ponderous than the 355,not like the nice clicky gate of the F car, you really have to shove this into its slot. Could be cos its new of course. Tubi is going on Friday next.I'm hopeless with pics but hopefully my mate Tony at F chat will post the ones I emailed him on the site. What a mad mad car!!

I've read your posts on FChat about this car. Sounds delightful.

If you want pics hosting, just drop me an email via my profile and i'll upload them.

Cheers

Rico

Thought you were going to say Sinclair C5 for a moment there Simon.... though I s'pose that would at least fit through the garage door!

Looking forward to seeing it next Sunday

Looks lovely, but you might want to have another go at wiping the reg pate in the first picture - it's pretty clear what it is.

[stuh]

That looks fantatsic!

Not sure i'd fancy winding it down B roads though, come up against a tractor going the other way and you'd be in the hedge

BTW I mailed you about the 355 but got no reply?

Absoloutely stunning sir.
Brilliant colour. Was reading my back copy of evo yesterday admiring the orange car they tested, and was thinking that I'd not seen one that colour on the roads!
