A long one!
First up, my opinions so far.. I'll try not to compare this too much to the Gallardo but I probably won't be able to avoid it. Decided to buy this 2 weeks ago and haven't missed the Lambo once since getting it. It was good at times, but its definately a 2nd/3rd car. Sounds strange I know, but the RRS is just great! Its up for sale now aswell..

Good thing is its free'd up some money, and costing a fair bit less each month aswell
I definately miss a toy, in fact I really miss my old TVR, but oddly don't miss the Gallardo.. It was just too much of a chore to drive 90% of the time.. The 10% when out for a random drive it was amazing, but for everything else it was pretty useless. Shame really. The plan is to get something like a Caterham when the weather gets better
Onto the RRS.. Wanted the HSE TDV8 with 20's and side steps in Gunmetal Grey. Just by chance the Aberdeen branch had one in.. Quick phonecall, test drive etc and it was a done deal. The HSE comes with all the toys pretty much..
The V8 itself is by no means fast, but in sport mode it does shift pretty quickly considering its size and weight.. To drive though its immense, so comfy and relaxing, fridge aswell which is pretty good on a long journey. Its also nice blending into the normal traffic rather than having folk wave and take pictures all the time. LOL.
I hate to admit it, but I'm an Auto convert.. If I ever go back to a Lambo/Fez, it will definately be the E-Gear/F1 box. Having 5 seats is nice aswell (all heated) and the boot is huge! I've done close to 1000 miles already in it, and its been great.. I strangely look forward to driving it, especially on rainy/dark/cold nights.. Weird. The Gallardo was hard work at times.
Although 1000 miles has taken its toll.. Onto the pics.
For folk who aren't interested in detailing.. From this
To this..
The detail was a bit of a pain with it being so big, but was a nice morning!
Started with this. Clarted!
Power washed the majority off..
Foamed (I need a foam lance)..
Mats out..
Washed..
Just gave it a quick run over with SRP and some 3.02 in places..
Tyre dressing on.
Onyx'd!
