Smile My Gallardo Arrived

Guys,

I flew into Sydney Australia on Saturday and picked up my pearl Orange Gallardo. WOW!!! What an experience and I shot most on DVD, I wanted to capture the thing and it was amazing. I caught the early flight to Sydney from the Gold Coast (1 Hour), went to the camera store and brought the Sony camcorder which records straight to DVD. I then met my friend Michael and we had lunch on the water at the W Hotel then went to Lamborghini Sydney and met Greville, the manager.

There it was, sitting in between the new Silver e-gear Murcielago and a Yellow and Blue Gallardo. I went through the delivery exercise and took off from Sydney and drove to Port Macquarie where I stayed the night. I was amping driving through the Saturday traffic in Sydney until I hit the freeway 20 minutes later. The drive was about 350 Km and I got a good feel for the e-gear in all modes, Sport mode with the ESP switched off was the most responsive, quick acceleration but I have to tell you 3rd gear is the most amount of fun I have ever had in a car. I also own a Ferrari 360 and it is a completely different experience, totally different, I'm not even sure why the press even bothered comparing them.

AWESOME CAR!!! Drive one if you get the chance, own one if you can, they truly put the capitol 'S' back into SUPER CAR.

I will be putting the Tubi on it and the clear engine hood gets delivered soon and that will be it, I think it is the perfect car, for me anyway.
