Yep, six months have already passed since LP07 EVO first graced these pages, and so comes the part of Lambo ownership I dread most: a service.

Costs for the LP640 have so far been roughly the same as they were for SG54 LAM (my old orange Murciélago long-termer) during its first few months, and that’s despite LP07’s track work in the autumn of last year. Those tough miles meant a couple of items needed to be added to the shopping list this month, though: a new set of boots and fresh pads for each corner.

Micheldever Tyres of Winchester managed to get four P Zero Rossos for £880, while Circuit Supplies (01525 385888) sourced the pads for £435.
