Whilst the mind was drifting towards a better a job and my stomach was asking what’s for dinner, a black car slipped into parking bay next to me.

If I hadn’t turned my head to the right – an intense stare hopefully intimidating the traffic light – ordering the change, I wouldn’t have seen the black Lamborghini Murciélago.

Now I don’t drive a 4×4 or truck, just a general average working class slave wagon – a Toyota Yaris – to be precise

The Lamborghini parked next to me was sooo lowww!!! The roof of this car was probably no higher than the Yaris door handle.

Here in Brisbane there are plenty sports cars. It is not uncommon to see Porsche – mostly Carrera and Targa. Even that Audi R8 V10 has joined the daily traffic jam.

And there is Ferrari.

Whilst the Ferrari body styling is definitely better than the Porsche, but what really bugs me is the way the car is always squealing. Initially I figured the girl had gotten the accelerator and brake pedals confused and that was why the engine was revving so high.

Hopefully you noticed I said “girl“. A really young blond with so much foundation on her face that if she dented the Ferrari, she could use the excess as body filler!!  I’m convinced she was a “P plate” taking daddies car for a spin.

Then I moved to West End where a Ferrari and fossil live and no, the car is always revving very high.

Back to the real sports car – the Lamborghini Murciélago

I was still admiring the black paint work. It’s not the usual black that manufacturers use but just different. It is too hard to explain – you have to see it.

As lights changed, the Lamborghini appeared at the next set of lights. My Yaris was still thinking about moving forward. Humans can do the 100 meters in 10 seconds. The Lamborghini covered the turn and stop in maybe two seconds.

What was really amazing was that the black beast lunged forward with very little effort – no Ferrari squealing whatsoever.

The closest similar sound is probably a brief sigh from a Jaguar XJ12.

Two weeks later on Charlotte Street I saw my baby

Lamborghini Murcielago

Do you think I could use my Yaris as a trade-in?
