So my 67 year old uncle decided he wanted a new car. He's been looking around for a while and finally settled on this

1997 car with 21,000 miles.

Apologies if anyone takes this as willy waving or anything but I just love the fact that he'll be 70 soon and he's decided to buy a Diablo.

Ace, not something that looks easy to drive for a 30 year old, never mind 70!

I know

He initially wanted a Murcielago LP640 E-Gear because he couldn't be arsed changing gear and i'm sure the Diablo has a notoriously heavy clutch. He better get a membership at the gym to work those legs

He doesn't collect it for a few weeks as the garage owner is in the USA at the moment, but when it arrives I'll see what I can do...

Maybe top end, but not 1/4 mile.

Edit: Actually, it'd probably have yours on top end too.

He owns the Arrows powered 3.0 V10 GWR Predator that my cousin built.

Basically a slightly smaller and lighter F1 car.

Is he looking to adopt a 28 year old by any chance?
