Hi msindi, nice Lambo. I have a question regarding that car. Obviously it is a great looking performance auto. What I am wondering is if it is as maintenance trouble free as the Porsche. I know a Porshce is no Toyota when it comes to everyday durability but of the sports cars out there, it is reputed to be among the best for quality, fit, etc. What is your experience with the Lambo? - Any problems with it that you wish were not there? You do not even have to mention that it is a head turner - I know it is.

Well - it is an Audi at heart - 3K miles since I got it in September and no issues yet (knock on wood)

I wish visibility was better as you can not see A THING especially where the front bumper ends....Also scrapes EVERYWHERE

Interior could have been nicer (too Audiish and plasticy) but some CF might fix that http://www.macarbon.com/

Yeah, 5th gear is a good show, but I have to agree with msindi, Top Gear takes the cake..

What channel is Top Gear on? I can't seem to find it.

Also, is motortrend the same as motorweek? I couldn't find motortrend in my Tivo listings.

it's a GREAT show, but when was the last time they made a new one? we get re-runs every day and most of them date back to 2002 or 3 (ie: shows about the new european release of the 350Z, murci, enzo, Z4, etc which were long ago).

Yeah...they repeat about every two weeks, but Speed plays two every morning. I like the TT vs MB 55, just driving on winding roads.
