I was guessing that Alan and Graham would be the first ones to respond, I think we need to have a special car section of the forum just for us :D

:NoNo: nor for Eastenders, Coronation St, X Factor, Come Dancing or any of the other dross that is on TV. If there's a decent movie on, I might watch that, and I'll have the usual fighting between the kids over who gets control of the TV for either kids TV, a DVD or the games console :icon_lol:

Yeah, I love the Maranello magic...watching the trailor for the upcoming shows, they showed some clips of an F40 and a 288GTO:hubbahubba::hubbahubba: Can't wait for those either.

911's are great everyday sportscars, very useable and reliable, typically German, but they don't have any soul. I've never felt any emotion or special whenever I've driven one. I've come close to buying several 911's (993 and 996's) over the years, but when I get in one and drive it, it doesn't have the same magical feeling I get whenever I sit in an Italian thoroughbread.....I miss my old 308 and 328's:bigcry:

Ah the 'ring. :)

That's a cheapo Westfield 7 :NoNo:

My friend has a bike-engined 'Indy' 7-type kit car that he took round the ring last summer.
It IS a damned quick car...so light !

I'm improving my times on the Xbox.:rolleyes:
