Going to be fun choosing
And they are great to drive too.

If you test drive a 575 don't bother unless it has the Fiorano handling pack fitted. They changed the spring rates from the 550 to the 575 - made it much softer - and completely f***d up the handling. Standard 550's handling is top notch.

If you decide to go for a Lambo, do they have the option of a custom paint job - i.e. you choose whatever paint you like and they spray it? Merc used to have this option and I had a CLK 430 sprayed Almandine Black - a very dark metallic purple which looked and still looks georgeous.

There's an orange on crusing round Bmth all the time, looks smart.

Usually followed by a fellow asian chap in a new M3, with number plate K4HN T - unsure if he knows what it really says

Has to be orange
There's a lambo dealer near my old place in wycombe, and they frequently had yellow and orange ones driving around - the yellow just didn't look as nice
