I've SOLD My Lamborghini Gallardo for a Nissan Micra (No, really, I did) - Here's Why

Yes, it's true. I am no longer a Lamborghini owner. Not an easy decision to make, but I think the right one. Here's what happened.

[@LeoMumford]

This isn't a proper reflection of the Lambo because James accidently bought one that hadn't been fixed properly? Because perhaps he didn't do his homework on it. I guess the cheap price tag plus it being a Lambo swayed him and unlike Tarvish unfortunately James can't do the work himself, so the bill just gets bigger and bigger.

[@Mac_F87]

@@LeoMumford in quite a few videos he explains he knew exactly the type of life it had prior to buying it.

[@LeoMumford]

@@Mac_F87 Yeah but he can say one thing, though obviously the opposite is true, because it's been proven by the fact that he sold it. It's great that he sold it. He's a good guy and can do what he likes, but it highlights how dangerous it is to buy something expensive that you can't work on yourself. If you rely on others then it can burn a massive hole in the pocket.

I once bought my dream car. An Alfa gtv 3.2.....as I drove it home I had a horrible sinking feeling that it was a bit.....shit. And I didn't fit in it and the mpg was astonishingly bad. I spent about 4k trying to make it better to no avail. I sold it 3 months and 600 miles later. A poorer but wiser man. Never mind James. Drive what makes you happy....

[@paul1978g]

Oh thats gut-renching. I did something similar with a '55 plate Mazda RX8. Stunning to look at in a nice shade of Velocity Red, but so many bizarre quirks for so little benefit (seriously Mazda, the damn thing needed 1Ltr of very expensive engine oil every second fill up of the tank!). Numb steering, terrible MPG ( less from a tank than my old 2.8 Capri). I regretted buying it and lot a frightful amount selling it on. Biggest car mistake of my life.

[@davekennedy6315]

@@paul1978g yeah those RX8s would have been a great car without that crappy rotary (appropriate they are called wank els haha!) They also need rebuilds after 50-60,000 miles meaning that low mileage cars are worth less than higher mileage cars that have been rebuilt. When the RX8 launched they were a very common sight on the roads. 5 or so years later they were less so. 10 years and they were rare.

[@STOP2NWO]

@@paul1978g Numb steering in RX8 that is the last thing l would call it for. I had quite a lot of fun with RX8 (US version). Oil was not the problem... after some heavy tracking engine was swapped for 1JZ TT, then 1JZ ST and now it's 2JZ ST and a lot of mods to suspension, chasis etc... RX were full of potential.

@@STOP2NWO well yea but there comes a point where you've changed so much of the car that it is no longer an RX-8.

@@BlackLines My brorher did :) Chasis is very capable. After upgrading suspension steering with rotary under the bonnet was great. With heavier engine it took some time, alighment, rollcage, aero and slick tires to make it fully capable again. It's a weapon in RX8 skin tho.

@@jayjuggrnaut perhaps, only time will tell. You only ever hear the horror stories of exotic car ownership and it's often enough to put many off buying something. James is grounded, lives in the real world and is still in control of his own destiny. Many KZbinr's became a slave to their audience, and by that point, the tail starts wagging the dog and they're no longer buying the cars they like or find interesting, but instead become a content vehicle for what the viewership wants to see. IMO, kudos for a left field choice, a car that goes under the radar and is underappreciated.

Been a subscirber since your Evora 400 days. My initial thought when the notifcation popped up on my phone at work today was "plonker", but having watched your video JayEmm I very much respect your honesty and why you moved the Gallardo on. I'm grateful you were honest as it counts for a lot and shows your integrity. I know how it is when you fall out of love with a car and it no longer makes you happy; it happended to me with my first Lotus, a Europa S. I now have an Evora Launch Edition that I'm still very much in love with after 7 years of ownership. It would take something that was very special to make me part with the Evora. As a long time Lotus fan, possibly only the Emira in V6 form could do that if it's as good as I think it will be. Planning to go to F.O.S. on the Thursday to see it - looking very much forward to that. It would be great if you could have the Emira on your channel when it comes out. Keep up the great content!

Hi ! I appreciate the fact that you are transparent (while protecting your privacy) about the cars. The promise you made was impossible to keep if you didn’t enjoy the Gallardo (that is the main reason to buy a car and follow your purchases). Plus with your new daily (and the 550), you still have some of the flair and passion of the Lamborghini (and I prefer the exhaust sound of the daily, even if the blue one was great in that regard). I’m sad to see it go without being restored but the most important thing is that you enjoy your own cars (whatever your community think about them). Keep doing what you’re doing. 😃

As the owner of a car that definitely falls more into the expensive category (even if it's not a Lambo) all I have to say on the subject is this: my shortlist for next cars includes multiple cheap hatchbacks and no Porsches.

Can I be the only nerd itching to know which model Micra??

[@sparky4878]

I learnt to drive in a Micra. My instructor had the original boxy K10. My only Micra experience.

Absolute respect to you for your transparency and consideration to your audience. I do think you did the right thing.

[@gregmiller2884]

No need to be sorry James, and that bit of road at the end, the crow road over the campsie hills, the ruts were not enjoyable in my mk8 fiesta st, keep the great content coming 👍

[@seriouslyaye]

No need to be so apologetic. It's fine honestly. Just do what makes you happy

[@peterhurd9667]

unless i win a lottery a Lamborghini is way above my paygrade, i'm more interestd in the Micra. I I had the cash to afford a Lambo, i'd rather opt for een mercedes or Jag

[@gopium1976]

I agree with this. But I would love an old 5 series but tastefully resto modded with lottery money

I used to drive a Micra back in the day, the one that won all the awards in the 90s. It was super basic, weighed nothing and had a 1.6, 16v EFi engine. It looked a bog-standard, steel-wheeled bubble of a car, but it would beat most mini hot hatches, and others from that period, off the line. And it handled brilliantly too, with it's little narrow wheels on each corner. It was so much fun!

No need to be sorry, your honesty is refreshing. I bought my dream car (well my realistic one!) in 2014, a TVR Griffith, as a bit of a rolling project. Since then, life has happened and it sits in my garage driven just a few hundred miles a year - this year it's not even going on the road and the state of the car makes me miserable. I can't bring myself to admit I've fallen out of love and particularly I don't know what else I would get in its place. Well done for taking the brave decision that I can't!

[@TangoGolfCharlie]

I want to see you put 50k into that Micra to be honest

[@jimestall413]

Seems like you've gone backwards since the Evora. Good luck in finding another driver's car that ticks all your boxes.

I think we’ve all had that ‘I’ve made a terrible mistake’ feeling when something we thought would be good, isn’t. Clearly wasn’t right from the start, and there’s no point being unhappy AND broke just to save face.

[@bjmullan]

As you are in Scotland. Up the Crow Road in the Campsie's just outside Glasgow :)

[@GazMonty]

Was thinking this was that road!

[@wilf18]

Best thing you could have done

I unsubbed a while back but you got me this time, I had to see what was going on :D

I like these type of videos. I also enjoy watching Shmee150 taking delivery of yet another unaffordable car. But this is way more relatable. Think you've made the right decision. Now make the right one for your next purchase. I think this kind of compares with Robert Mitchell selling a bunch of really nice cars just to buy his dream car -> E30 M3. When he speaks of that car you can tell he is way more passionate than about his 488 Pista, or one of his McLarens. For me that car is a Ferrari F40, so it will never happen :-)

[@klemenkekec7034]

We do want to see and hear about that micra. Thank you for asking :) no worries about that lambo, if you'd proceed with your plan just because you promised, we'd figure that out sooner or later
