If it's the Dublin reg, Des Cullen had it and sold it to Richford who then sold it on. Clutch on the Gallardo's is crap, 5k a pop too.

Its only crap because the owners don't use them right, another reason why people shouldnt be allowed to jump straight into a super car.

Like the Carrera GT, use the clutch correctly and you can do donoughts and hard launches all day long, use it wrong and clutch can go within a few hundread miles as many have

whats the difference in the clutch? and whats the correct way to use it in a supercar.

Its wednesday lotto tonight, I might win.

smash

the prob with the clutch it that the car is a E-Gear model and so because there is no push on the clutch it goes in very fast. Because these cars are designed to drive fast, if you're driving slow most of the time and the clutch is consistantly being moved around fast without the power behind it, it gets warn fast. Also when the car is sitting idol it should be kept in nuetral too.

You can get a software and hardware upgrade from Lambo to help the clutch become more intelligent and get use to your driving style.

The roof has been cut off...other than that the passenger compartment doesn't seem to have crumpled too much.

its not a GT3, GT3 kit is way different, GT2 is a completely different car to GT2, was targeted to a different audience altogether and drove completely different(grand tourer versus track oriented GT3) and the GT2 was also about £40k more expensive than GT3 new

thanks I know the difference.. the post said GT3 which is now edited. Happy camper me. any ideas how the accident happened though. Aggh I would have had words.

I'm convinced that Porsches are simply devices for culling poor drivers.

wink, wink .... I suppose there is no way his mate was driving it cos the owners legs were hurt while he was on the track?

Slightly on/off-topic, but when I was back home in sunny footballer-belt Cheshire at the weekend my Dad's Doctor friend told him he's had 7 people in the surgery all complaining of back problems within months of buying either Boxsters or Caymans. Quite what they were expecting when trading in their X5's/Range Rovers/Cayennes* is beyond me...:rolleyes:


*Delete as appropriate

Saw lots (2x Ferraris, Aston, 3x XKR's, Phantom, Bentley Arnage etc. etc) go past the bar I was in on Friday, but got no photos, mainly because it was p!ssing down :mad:

I always knew there was a reason why i hated those stick on bagdes for cars, ie. type r, 16V, 4motion etc.... and walkin around i found an even bigger reason.

He could of atleast stuck it on a Zetec, not an LX

Mind you I did see a 98 Passat TDI (all silver) with the most hidious big " V6 " Badge stuck right beside it. That gave me a laugh If they were going to do it at all they could of atleast put one of these VW badges on;



Instead, they used one like (Or one similar);


I mean why bother at all!

Perhaps somebody can enlighten me, I was under the impression that the "1" Registration number has always been reserved for the Lord Mayor each year?

I can only assume that the Lord Mayor has taken to driving around in a Renault Espace for some odd reason?

(apologies for pics,taken with mobile phone)
