The f50 is one ugly duckling. Did you see the enzo. Love the wing mirrors in the la Ferrari!

We were only doing 70. You must have been plodding about 40-50.

I understand about the gazebo guys. Just some suggestions.

Great to see you after so much time!

Was great to see you too, it has been far too long

I think your speedo isn't working properly mate

Look like a great meet! I really need to pay more attention to this section of the forum as I would have come down for it! I'll keep my eyes peeled for the next big meet!!

Maybe its time to arrange a Northern Meet or North East Meet....Somewhere like Whitby or Scarborough

Start a new thread in this section and see what interest you get.

Big thanks to PeteP for getting me on the track demo this year, after missing out last year. Really enjoyed being sandwiched between a Bugatti Veyron and a Pagani Huayra in my cheapo Fiat.

Also got a good view when the Lambo crashed on the corner.

Weather held off for the most part, and we managed to sneak in the back entrance behind some Ferraris. The Ferraris got waved through and the stewards didn't want to let us peasants in.... money talks. But we negotiated our way in with some good old British bull**t.

Amazing Coupe turn out, and good spot near the banking too.

Hope to be there next year. I'll post some pics/vid on the club page on FB.

Your "cheapo Fiat" was looking mighty fine

Gripped. That must have been you who spoke to us at the pre track talk ?
Nice to meet you shame the track thing didn't quite work how I thought (Alfa ) between us but good time, see you again some time

How did you get on with looking at the possible turbo purchase ?

Nice moonie by the way....

Good to meet you guys too. If you look at the youtube videos of the track demo, you can see us from the drone's view following that huge Lambo Humvee thing. Fame ! Hope you enjoyed it.

Turbo purchase didn't go to plan. I've posted in the Coupe chat section about it. It wasn't quite as good as the advert was making out. It did drive well though. The "thrust" in 2nd and 3rd was addictive.

See you next year ?

Ok track videos compilation:

The drone view, see us from 4:10

Sorry Gripped I went straight out after posting.
Yes I did enjoy the Lambo humvee thing ( only kidding)
Shame he cost us time on the track. But still funny, how the chap thinks he needs
Turbos on the car I don't know !! He lost the car at what 40/50 mph
Anyway yes probably see you next year there
Going to look at the chat about the turbo now

Looks like you guys had a great day out. I was busy with our final "Fun Day" of the Rugby season for Oliver and the Under 8's so wasn't able to make it this year.
Having just been to see my newly sprayed C-Class - Don't ask!?
The Gallardo from the crash was in the workshop. Serious suspention damage replaced, bodywork being repaired. Those turbos though! 2x OMG!

They also had a new McLaren 570 in for some work.

Nice update on the Lambo Ross, wondered what the damage was and the cost!(still needs wheel refurb!) Glad the Merc has been sorted.

Is that a replacement wheel with the deeper tread depth, or did the two different tyres contribute to his pirouette?

@Submariner - not quite there with th Merc yet, I went for an inspection visit, and I'm glad I did.....!

@Rob40 - I think it was a loan wheel as the suspension came from another doner Gallardo in the same shop. It also looks to be of a different width too.

The figure 700bhp was mentioned regarding it's power output

And we all know that the eBay option wasn't the wisest choice too. Sometimes just better going with a cracking offer from a serious buyer

eBay suited my needs exactly Clint. Maybe not what you would use, and it can sometimes be trouble. But I sold my car a a good price in a short period of time when home. The buyer who got it in the end was an italian car fanatic, previously into GTV's ..... so a serious buyer and he got a serious car

Anyway, that's the difference between someone really knowing the market and someone assuming they know the market. Some people will always make and others will lose on the sale of a car

Didn't see your original reply for some reason, Patch. But I think yes, with a hat and wife and toddler.

Yes, that was the guy. Never bought it anyway but he seemed to very keen to buy. Having the wife around when talking about buying cars, that will 'most likely' become an occasional use machine, is never a good move
