    I have always wondered what the deal was with copyright on youtube, because theres clips from so many TV shows on there, which is great IMO, so if theres ever something i once saw that i want to see again, its usually on there :)

    Reliant Robin Rocket was very funny...but it doesn't match the Caravan holiday one from last year. Watched it while we were in the UK from memory and again once we got back and it's still hillarious. Should be on SBS very soon.

    Even when it went backwards off the road and the lap time was 6th down the list after Zonda, Enzo, MC12, etc?

    Of course 99% of owners will just tootle along Rodeo drive at 30mph, on the way to get their botox injection.

    Did anyone notice that the 747 that JC towed with his tractor was the plane from the recent Bond movie? With twin engines on the inner wing pods.

    I guess they filmed the scene at that airfield.

    Those cars are all more than twice the price of the LP640. I think most cars have lost control in the hands of JC so that doesn't mean much either.

    So yeah, I still want one.

    I know, I like the idea of it too.

    But the 911 GT3 that it just beat is half the price (or thereabouts) of the Murci, 2/3rds the horsepower and doesn't have 4WD. And in the real world, we all know the GT3 would eat the Lambo.

    I suspect the problem is that under the carbon fibre skin, lies a chassis that's still made the same way as a 'tach, welded steel chassis rails and all. Other supercars now have composite tubs, ally extrusions, etc so they're lighter and stiffer. Perhaps VW/Audi will change this next time around, the R8 chassis could be stretched and widened to do the job.

    theres no denying the GT3 is a much sharper track tool

    but as you yourself pointed out how likely is the lambo to be used as a track flogger?

    the lambo is more a statement than anything else. if you want to go fast around a track theres much cheaper and easier ways to go about it

    track times however still make for interesting comparison!

    depends what part of the real world we're talking about. Traffic light drags, i doubl anything would really beat a LP, but you throw a couple roundabouts in and some twisty country roads i think the LP may suffer, as its as wide as the gap in Tori Spellings clevage.

    but that said, Lambo still the ultimate IMO, i'd pick one of those before a Zonda, Enzo, MC12, Koegnigsegg, etc any day. Now an F40 however hmmmmmm i think i may have to go for a Ferrari in that case.
