Found a great deal on a Gallardo LP560-4 with only a few hundred miles and decided to explore the possibility. Unfortunately, I simply did not fit into it with my head jammed up against the roof. Darn, if I was only a few inches shorter..... :tears: Great car though. :yes:

I didn't fit in my Ferrari 328GTS, wasn't about to let a trivial thing like that stop me. ;)

I guess I could always try to find a replacement seat for it, I only need but a few inches to get comfortable in there. :scratch2:

Just slide down a bit in the seat, it works.

I tried and it didn't feel comfortable. :tears: My back gives me grief if the seating position is not right for it.

Back in 2000 I looked thought about a reasonably priced 308GTS. That is until I tried to get into it. There is a reason that why the tops were never on the car for Tom Selleck in Magnum PI. There is no way he could sit get in it either with the tops on.

Why would they have a used Gallardo with only 30 miles? Someone bought it and drove around the block and sold it back to the dealer?

Stored in a garage, collected and admired...some folks don't even drive these types of cars.

I would, and do.

Kind of like beautiful antiques...not just to be viewed, but used.

The 8C Competizione is a great looking car for sure. They are finally starting to appear on the market here. It is a great but not brilliant all around performer from what I understand. For the price it goes for, there are other cars that would peak my interest before it though. :yes:

Its price is not commensurate with the performance but neither is it meant to be otherwise we would all be in corvettes.

The looks alone are worth the price of admission imho :tresbon:

Looks like the offspring of a Hyundai and a Pontiac Solstice Coupe.

The 8C is the tribute to Alfa Romeo's Le Mans winning streak back in the 30's. Jim, this video may or may not change your mind. :D

Alfa makes some nice cars. I have a friend in Singapore who has I believe a 159 and I have been in his several times. It is a really nice car. I like the technology of this 8C and 8C Spider but it still looks like a Solstice.

The quality of the review is so far removed from those from Top Gear it's just not funny!:boring::boring::boring:

Nice clips though...
