This will be a short post....gotta go and get a massage
Picking up Lamborghini Gallardo tomorrow...can't wait, it feels like getting the M5 did back in 2000...very pumped.

Pearl yellow/yellow stitching in seats/black calipers..(will get them painted yellow in time) everything else you would want.
I'll be back posting in the next few days to let you know about how l managed to get a car in less then two weeks.

Ya-hooo! A yellow Gallardo! Wow!

Saw one in geneva in a garage and it looks gorgeous, much better than the Murcie I think.

I hope you got it for MSRP! Interesting to see if the SL600 will be faster?

Darn happy to hear it, Apples! Just let me know when you're ready to sell the "old" M5.

I was at the Portofino Hotel at Universal this weekend. They had an "Italian" Car Show with a black Gallardo. I was talking to the people from Orlando Lamborghini and they told me they were looking for a car for you. Good luck. By the way, are you going to be at the Honda Classic this week?

You have way too much money

Hey, a friend just showed me a Golf Digest article with you in it. It was you and another golfer head to head ... something like who has more. The article mentioned your 460hp M5 ...which incidently was faster then the other gentleman but he has a boat that was more powerful. Pretty cool.

Hey Apples,

Hmmm A massage and a Gallardo, now thats really rubbing it in.

Congratulations Mate. Nice choice, and Great colour....

Only thing is, you got one one with the steering wheel on the wrong side.

Yeah- next thing you know he'll tell us the masseuse is a beautiful woman

Seriously, thats great news. Congrats! I cant wait to read the story. Happy Motoring

Gustav...The Gallardo will be a few tenths quicker, just based on the weight difference 3,400lbs Vs 4,400lbs.
The 600's torque 590lbs 800nm will fry tires and this is a liability in speeds under 60mph. They both make 500hp so once their on the boil it would be a good race.
I't's very much the best race between two cars with the same peak HP but to very different torque curves.
All up it was $182,000 on the road.

Texas M5...Sorry but l just had a 4 month break from driving the M5 and l'm glad to be home, l must say. I'm really not in much of a rush to get the E60M5 when 4 years after l bought the E39M5, and l'm still loving every thing about it and the way the M5 performs in so many areas.

Silverstreak...I went to the dealer on the weekend with my father in-law to see the car l will be picking up tomorrow and it wasn't there...NO WAY
l then found out on Monday that it was as the show you were at (pretty sure thats what the SA said happened to my car)...did you see it there or just the black one??.
No play this week for me just some range work for the next 4 weeks on the road

Terk & TCM...I will be back witha good report very soon.

Boostmiser...I think l know the article you're talking about.

MIB...Wrong side of the steering wheel hey...always thinking of you're self
