Wow thanks for everyones comments
Aeroman ~ I really do want to do up a vs on all the cars. Would be very interesting! There really is a time and place where each of them shine
Mr.Tony ~ Your right you would be much better off waiting until your outside london with some nice roads to be able to go for spins on. Otherwise it would be garaged most of the time and only an occasional weekend driver which would make you more frustrated then anything! :P
DucatiRoss ~ I think out of anything anyones said about evo or my diablo yours really stands out! It was my pleasure to bring it to evo and i would do it anytime
Its a funny feeling driving the diablo. It's the first car i have owned 2nd hand. I also haven't had it back in my own garage yet so it still feels as if it's on loan to me and someones about grab the keys back off me! Whenever you stop in it kids crowd around it.
I remember in wales we pulled up outside a pizza place to grab a pizza and there were about 10 14-16 year old boys. Usually that would intimidate me but they were all just so awe stricken. Everyone of them got their camera phones out and to be honest i was mortified. One of them came up and asked if he could sit in the passenger seat so i said sure. I decided it was better i got out of it completly, as far as i was concerned they wanted the car int he picture and i didn't want to be in it
So i said to them they can hop into the drivers seat and went into the pizza shop and watched these 10 guys turn into little lambs as they all took turns sitting into the drivers seat for a photo.
Another one was pulling into a service station on one of the motorways and we parked way off in the corner. We were eating some generic take away burgers and i spotted a little boy in the rear view mirror. He had snuck around the back and stood well back and was getting his mum to take photos on his phone. So they passed back and as they were going by we were done with the meal and going to go find a bin. I said to the mum and boy if you want you can go over and sit in it and get a photo. The little kid was so shy but i walked off and the mum basically pushed him over :P But the smile on his face when he did get in and get the photo was just class
Its funny becuase i know how i would have felt 6 months ago for someone to let me sit into a diablo for a photo and its great being able to share it with others especially kids whose day is probably made by it. Last story i swear which just proves its not only kids! We came out of the hotel we were in in wales and a guy ad his friend were over by it. They were late 30's early 40's i would say and one guy was taking a photo of the other so we stood back and they guy couldnt work the camera. So i went over and offered to take the photo and then said to the guy would you like to sit in it for the photo? He was so excited and such a nice man, he was saying his son would go mad when he knew he had sat in a lambo. So i said it's a pity hes not here so it would make his day and then the guy said 'its actually made my day more then it would make his!' So i definitly love to share the love of this car around! I am usually a shy person but you just can't be in a diablo
