Coincidentally, on Sunday I spoke to one of the drivers for Motor and other ACP publications while doing a defensive driving course at EC. We spoke about all the cars he had test drove recently and had mentioned a high end Lambo, I think it was the LP5... or LP640... something like that. Apparently the airstrip they took the car to is covered in gravel and they completely destroyed the outside in stone chips. He said that Lambo had brushed it off saying not to worry about it, so maybe there's been a stretch of the truth at either end... not sure.

ps. Awesome day and highly recommended - basically a skid pan and your 135i, with really easy going and understanding instructors. There are obviously rules but within the boundaries of the exercise you could go nuts. Really helped me understand the limits of the car.
