Still hankering after a Diablo then Steve! 
Mine would be the Diablo too. In fact, I was in Letchworth when they were filming that Countach piece, though obviously didn't know it at the time. It was several months ago now. What I did remember is that this blue Countach was hammering up and down the road that ran past a school when all the children were coming out. Assumed the driver was a knob.

To be fair though...they are a bit of a sod to drive....and he kinda made up the performance figures too - oh well! the bit with JK and the miura window was very funny though
Diablo definitely my fave....though HOW fast was that Gallardo round the track?? Would be very inetrested in seeing the dry track time....
Favorite Lambo(s)
Muira S (so it keeps the eyelashes)
Countach LP5000S QV 88.5 (most outrageous)
Diablo 6.0 (2 Wheel Drive - 'cause it's soooo bad)
And Clarkson have the Gallardo a general thumbs up then - seemed pretty quick to me - and wht do you think it'd be like to drive when you get used to it... Driving Lambos is NOT like driving most other cars - including Fezza's....Espeacially the 'traditional' ones..

When the Murcielago went round the track i didn't see the spoilers on the back come up once, does anyone know what speed they come up at?
It's also interesting that when Tiff drove the Gallardo on fifth gear he had loads of understeer, but when Top Gear did it they had a conveniently wet track and did not suffer from any understeer.

I see, i thought it had a purpose for aerodynamics. But i still think it's interesting how they made the track wet so they didn't suffer from the understeer that Tiff suffered from. Also what was the point when they had a 911 turbo and the other car (which i have scarily forgotten- a ferrari 360??) They didn't even bother doing a drag race and just used the paper stats to say the Gallardo would beat them both. Which i think is a bit pathetic seeing as they had all the cars there and it would have made interesting viewing.
Murcielago has a rear wing that comes up at speed, but the side ones are for when its stationary or in traffic, its for cooling.
I still sometimes wonder whether i should have got the Diablo 6.0 instead, but I guess its just not as practical?
Really do like the Murcielago, still too impractical though.

....and a 360spider is practical?!?... I'd say very little difference in reality.
