I have had the Gallardo since they were first out in dec 04 and it has done 5,000 miles. I got the F430 last year April and it has done 17000 miles in a year. And not had any problems with it even once.
I heard that SLR is the new porsche this year too!!! The problem in london is there are way too many porsches and SL, and driving them about is not as special as it used to be . Need to be in an SLR,Enzo or Carrera Gt to really stand out!!! What do you say??

Quite true there are too many porsches and SL around run down on kings road or kensington high street and you wont look at a car twice cause there are so many around :p I laways preffered the SLR over the Enzo (i had no clue why) but after the Top Gear episode i completely put my feet on the Enzo.

BTW the update on Lambo and the Enzo ...
James 2 (Belgium & Belgrade)
Uno 2 (Channel tunnel & Serbian border)

the present score is 2:2 .... lets see who gets to finish line at the Beverly Hills Hilton first !

Following is a copy of the Bankers Check the winner recieves each one has put $100,000 in it !!!

My money would have been on the Lambo despite F430 being more reliable i vouch my trump card on James (Britisher) i think he is a better driver than Uno (Portugese). Anyways time shall decide ....

By the way... the overdone decals spoil the look of these cars!

Foe most folks who dont know what gumball is. It was inspired by the movie Cannon Ball run and it is similar.
You start from a city and race to the next given check point on public road.Add a lot of speed to it and hot chicks and there you have it. GUMBALL3000.
Of course the police in the given country will try and see that the gumballers keep to thier speed limit but that never seems to happen, hence so many speeding tickets, acccidents and gumballers being chased at high speed by police. All in all pure adherlein.!!!

This 'competion' was thought up by Max Millon who started doing gumballl back in 1999 with a few famous people from media and rich kids in london. From there it just grew to what it is now. ANd Gumball rally is now a calender event in Uk and huge.
If you got money and super car and can afford the £40,000 entry fee you are in. That buys you a little bit of ego that you raced in a gumabll rally, broken speed limits on the road ,raced with other supercars and the knoweldge that you have the abilty to drive about a 1000 miles a day and get to the finsh point againts a lot of odds - ie. police chasing you,other gumabllers sabotaging you getting to the check point and all in all a illegal race on public roads in a supercar againts other supercars.
Does that answer your question???
