    From time to time i get a chance to work at the Lamborghini development and prototype center outside Bologna. The car i'm sitting in is a $5 million Veneno, a bit out of my price league. I can't imaging driving around London in something like this :)

        Its quite big isn't it. Does it come with parking sensors ? Or is that an optional extra?

        It's not for me, it wouldn't get over the speed bumps in my office car park.

        Dont look like it would clear the speed humps in my road.
        For that reason, I doubt I will be buying one.;)

          That's not going to fit in any of the parking spaces at my local Sainsbury's

                In the whole of Britain Clueless....it'd probably have to be the TT course here, it's the only road that's fully maintained. :)

                Would you risk parking it at Sainsbury's? :heehee:
