Wow!

Sitting in the front room this evening, when I heard a nice rumbling engine noise outside - my neighbour opposite had a friend come to visit him - in a 1999 Lambo Miura!

I think it's the first time I've seen one up close (well, I had to go and have a nose, didn't I!) - very long, very wide, VERY low. Absolutely tasteless orange bodywork, even more tasteless blue seats with orange trim... I loved it!

I'm quite sure I'd never want one, but I had to admire the sheer outrageousness of it...

A 1999 Miura ?

Are you sure ?

Not 100% - the name began with 'M' anyway!!!



(see - that's what supercars do to your brain... )

was it one of these?


David Jenkins - 2/5/09 at 09:50 PM

Ha! I was completely wrong!

It was a 1999 Diablo VT Roadster! ( I think)



It was this colour too...

David Jenkins - 3/5/09 at 06:34 AM

No - genuine Lambo beastie...

I'd rather have the 70's car

Saw a couple of 60's Miura cars for sale recently at £380,000.
I still want one
