The cornering is no doubt better but I haven't gotten around to putting it in the launch mode yet. Rained most the day yesterday....

My Gosh Doc, congrats.

I thought you'd keep the Bentley GT a while longer. Any thoughts/regrets after owning it?

Thank you

Blood doc. I am lucky to have owned so many nice cars. Just work all the time but it is worth it!

Coolcamden.
I loved the Bentley but I just had to have something more with the "Holy Shiat" factor.

No regrets other than the financial hit I took.

It was a somewhat sad story on how I got the Lambo.

A really really good friend bought it wholesale less than a month ago. He researched it, found it (there were apparently no SEs for sale at the time), went down to Florida and inspected it, bought it then had it shipped to his home in SC. He trailered it fo Lambo of the Carolinas and had it serviced and professionally inspected with a 7 page printout saying it was a good car.

After keeping it for a month he found that he could not get in and/or out after any extended period in the car ( he is almost 70 and 3 back surgeries ). He called and wanted me to have the car. He sold it to me at a very good price.

The manager at Lambo of the Carolinas who inspected it told me "I'd love to sell you a car but you cannot turn that one down"
