Very inspiring story! Glad to hear you're still having fun... Now start modding it and have even more fun

 

Updated: Had this Gallardo now for 5 years at end of lease (will keep)and I still LOVE IT. Upgraded to 2009 screen in dash now other wise just drive, go, wash and service. Just had the 48,000 km service. Nothing extra just a blown tail light. On same cluch now for 4 odd years. Bought a grey and red 3.8 Gt3 RS last month and they look wicked side by side in the garage.
Took a 2010 green superleggerra for a good spin the other day. Absolutely WICKED, Manic and violent when you give it a serve. Loved it. Drove an orange SV670 a few months ago. Prefer the 2010 Superleggera.

 

Gotta love the orange paint you've got...it looks beautiful; a work of art!

 

Awesome man. Good to hear that after 5 years, the G still brings smiles to you!

I just got a black 2005 Gallardo coupe in April and I freakin love the car! Years from now, I hope to still be enjoying it like you have been doing! If I do change to another Lambo, it will be a pre-owned 570 SL in orange!...love that color!

 

Story and pics are A+ :-)

 

As an aside, these cars are well known for the attention they get, but from my standpoint, the most sublime moments are when you are on an isolated country road in the middle of nowhere with no other cars or people anywhere in sight and it's just you, the Lambo, and the open road...if anything defines pure NIRVANA...THAT is IT! There are very few things in life that measure up to that feeling!

 

Agreed. I have had mine a full 2 years and 16k miles and I love it as much now as the day I bought it.
The attention sucks (to me anyway), but Gator is right - it's all about the country roads. That's where most of my driving is done and it's wonderful. Once I get out of town and avoid the people flicking me off all over the place, it's a wonderful car.

 

LOVE the color! My first Lambo is arriving here on Friday, I can't wait to get it!

OK now it is official. Congrats Peter that is a bad *** car.

 

I also switched over from a 996TT and then a 360 spider and finally to the G. It's been about a year and I'm in the same camp as the OP. It's an event to look at it every morning and to drive it. You will know how celebrities feel for sure. For me, the custom exhaust is half the fun
