Why the hell did you buy a merci in the first place then, to blend in?

Hah,i like your sense of humour James !I guess the attention was a big blast at the begining but eventually it got tiresome.Anyway,my aim is to get my *** into a 430 as soon as i can.Sounds like i'll have to queue like everyone else,but because i'll have a near new 360 to trade i think that should give me an ace up my sleeve,'cause all car dealers would rather do 2 deals rather than 1 and i bet when i do get the call that there is a 430 available the 360 will go straight to a waiting buyer rather than sit around in stock.

I own an 04' Gallardo 6spd. I traded a 360 for it. The 360 is going to look so dated once you start seeing alot of 430's around. Still, the 360 is a great car. The Gallardo however is a totally different feel. I drive it all the time and love it. I also have an 03' Murci and love that car as well. Q: Why don't you teach your wife how to drive a manual? It always surprises me when I see how many woman don't know how to drive a stick. ANYWAY, get a Gallardo 6 speed and teach your wife how to drive it. Don't get the E-gear just for her. It is so much more fun to drive w/manual.

Good luck!

I saw the pics of your car on another site and it looked awsome in pearl orange.I have had three yellow cars now so i didn't want to go pearl yellow again and i thought the orange would be the go.After seeing how the orange suited you perfectly though i had second thoughts and decided orange would look a bit gay with a 6'3" shaved head kiwi 'bloke' driving it,lol.In the end i got the 360 and it had to be red,red,or red which kinda goes with the F car look i guess!Have fun....cheers,B.J.

I have seen men driving an orange Gallardo. It's not gay! But you can't go wrong with a red Ferrari. We had a yellow Ferrari 360 and a pearl yellow Diablo and it gets old after awhile!!
