LAMBORGHINI HURACAN LP610-4 + £5,000 TAX FREE CASH or £100k cash alternative!

Saw a Lambo the other day. Guy gave it some and it sounded absolutely epic! I'd still be taking the cash though.

On that one I think I'd actually take the motor for 6 months, then sell it at the same price, you'd lose nothing on that in 6 months.

Easily worth more than 160k that, and doesn't look to be barried up, on the contrary its got some choice options in a sensible colour.

Listen to Iccy!

Have it for the summer and make a tidy profit.

Realistically though I doubt I'd get insurance :lol: Nothing to do with me, its the lack of off street parking. I suppose there are any number of supercar storage places who'd be happy to make me a few quid poorer though.

Just keeping it in a garage for 10 years would probably net you a bit.

I wouldn't want it. Not into sports cars or bikes, never have been. CBA to keep moving it around on the drive or have to deal with Car dealerships. Cash will be king for me!

That looks like someone has taken a bunch of cars and picked the worst feature from each one, they took reliability from LR.

I notice a lot of the comp companies have moved to instant win comps. A main prize but plenty of instant wins like below. Different I suppose,but it must work a lot of them are doing it.

I doubt they bothered getting gambling licenses, I guess they found another loophole.

I briefly looked at buying one, the bulkhead behind the rear seats makes it unusable as a van. That's why I have a VW Kombi, no bulkhead, the rear seat folds and can be removed (it weighs around 100kg so not something I do often, I have done it a couple of times though) and I get the full load space. The standard MSRT has 168hp, my Kombi is the 204hp. Mine is the T32, so bigger wheels, brakes and different suspension over a standard Transporter, so I suspose it's a match for anything done to the Transit to produce the MSRT. Mine also has Bilsteins all round. :)

I've had one, they are without doubt the finest handling and best two stroke on the planet, the technology at that point in the game was amazing.
Almost without soul, it was Honda-like, no powerband, just pure smooth power all the way through, I found I'd be topping out at 180kph before I knew it.

Here is mine in the mountains in Oman.
