Sorry to hear that. The good thing is that new supercars are much more reliable (or so they say). I'm very curious what you'll buy. I thought a Gallardo might be nice. I remeber you were a bit dissapointed about it after seeing Tiff's review. But apparently the current Gallardo has been massively improved on areas such as steering feel and handling.
Whatever you'll decide, keep us informed if you can. Reading the story gets us dreaming of having a supercar ourselves.

Shame to hear of the troubles with the Diablo, Jabba
I'm not sure what your going to get (maybe a return to Porsche?), but we will be waiting to see what you decide to buy. Good luck with the car hunt, i hope the 355 is still running smoothly :good:

^^I think we all know that nightmare..
Sorry to hear the car is sick. Still theres prolly enough demand you can get out from under it before getting crunched with a repair bill. Sides.. car shopping is almost better then ownership. Especially with ferrari... (overheard conversation between salesmen and graywolf in his head) 'Yeah Ill buy a 355 from you if you let me drive the enzo around the block a few times'.

Sorry to hear Lambo is not working well  Its time to switch car for younger one 
Porsches are bullitproof as far as I red/heard, they survive alot. Or other german - M5/M3. Well... I never even set in any of those so I better shut up now

At least with the current Lambos you have Audi engineering that is stout indeed. I say stick with Lambo. Just my opinion, though.

I just checked this thread. I am sorry for the Lambo, TT told me you had some troubles with it but I didn't think it was a 22.000 £ repair :shock: I knew Lambo were not cheap to run but this ... So you can't use it ? Does it loose power ?
