OK, here's the video...but I'm warning you, the beginning is a little choppy. I was holding the phone in my right hand but it was getting annoying because I needed to shift, so at some point I passed the phone to my left hand so I can upshift with the right paddle (E-Gear), but towards the end pass it back to the right hand because I had to downshift with the left paddle...Not a whole lot to see, I drove it for about 15 minutes, but only filmed a little over a minute...

It's a summer rental...a customer of mine wants to rent it for the summer, he's had Murcielago's before but not the LP640, which has a stiffer suspension. He wanted to drive it to make sure it's not too stiff for him before committing to plunk down $50k+ for the summer.

I'll try to get some day shots later on...
