Nice write up. Some of these shots are MONEY!! Looks like we're up for a treat if you learn how to get the best out of your new Nikon camera. Thanks for sharing Mike!

Great writeup and photos, Mike! Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

I know how you feel about this LP560 vs your SL, but do you prefer your LP640 over this car?

Nice photos, Mike! The revision Lambo has made on the Gallardo must be quite substantial as I've only read good things about it. The interior is nice and looks like it's very rigid and well positioned. I'd do anything to get a ride in one of those some day

Looking forward to more photos with your new gear!

Thanks. I also started to like the colour after a day or two. It's very subtle.

Not at the moment, I don't even have any garages left at the main residence. Would not want to place it at the coast either, would never get to use it.

PS the car doesn't have any license plates on it or is that just the result of clever photoshopping?

Glad you enjoyed it! I have dealer plates, it doesn't require you to have them on the car, just so long as it is inside the vehicle.

It had normal brakes, I have driven CCB's before. They are much sharper with CCB's.

I like both as much to be honest. It would be a VERY hard choice. The Gallardo you can use more often as it is very easy to navigate and park. The LP640 is always a bit of a mission.

PS. I heard from my dealer, when I took delivery of my SL. It was the last brand new SL, available to the public in the world

Nice write-up Mike S. I agree with you about the SL. It is certainly more visceral of a car!
