not got it yet... should be any time soon. JUST missed out on one I fancied on monday.
Will look exactly like any other Red Ferrari F430 spyder. (until I chav it up! )
I want one exactly like this... but with 'Crema' sports seats. Not poooey beige...
http://www.dealer.ferrari.com/graypa...der/+/15826750
The one I missed on Tuesday only had standard seats.... but other than that the same.
I'd like one with ceramic brakes as well, because the calipers look sooo much bigger and better.
Totally off the Gallardo idea. They are far far inferior according to pretty much everyone I have spoken too! including one dealer who had 3 Lambos for sale... and no F430's. So he really wasnt trying to sell me anything!
I went to see this at his place. Was amazing... and right price. BUT even Renton finally admitted its completely impractical for me to own. I am just too clumsy.... and the roof is only good for 70mph apparently!
was amazing thing though!

That looks cool Ginge, can never understand Scoob engines, but if it equals more speed then bolt it up!
Sounds like you've got a lot to do, get on to it man!
Ferrari F430 Spyder unless weather is looking stupid... then the 911.
if its dry. Roof down all the way! with Maria moaning about her hair blowing.
They are quite slow! hope we can keep up!
We will come on same crossing as you...
I've been staying at the Lindner Congress Hotel all last year, its bang on the Ring. I really like it there. Its all very new and nice and you can see people on the GP track. The food is excellent as well. Great breakfast spread!
and it has the worlds worst Casino! with Croupiers reading the rules from a book as they go along

Car however sounds awesome, if a little underpowered - only 490 bhp? You're going to struggle
I'll try and ignore the 196 mph top speed
I'm liking the sound of this trip more and more
Nail, head

I am heading over myself with a few friends for my third trip on the 21st and returning on the 25th, it would be brilliant to meet some people from the site and see some of the cars from the site on the track.
If any of you see me there please dont hesitate to have a chat!
It will have a full cage and some other goodies fitted by the time we go

PassionFord Post Whore!!
RS-tuner did it last year on his bike, he was one of the quickest bikers I saw there last year... if you're 1/2 decent on the bike I'd say go for it. Van over there, roll the bike out and enjoy! I'd do the same if I was any good on my bike. I'm not, I'd probably crash and burn very early on!
I will get there one day

Id want to do the whole trip on the bike, see if I could get a couple of the lads to come along for the ride. To be honest Im not that arsed about doing any laps on it either. For my first time over Id be happy coming to see what its all about, the banter, drool over the car park cars and maybe even get a couple of passenger rides. I have been considering taking the M5 over this year but it will need a clutch, MAF's, polybushes and a set of tyres before Id take it and right now I cant afford to do all that on top of the cost of a ring trip
I will get there one day

Best i start saving for a bike first

Fast they are not! You can have a drive if you like. Properly gutless though.... but its not really what they are all about.
LOVELY to drive!
I'm excited about the drive over with you guys
and you KNOW I normally hate driving over there!

What crossings are you doing? We're going home on the 25th too, 4pm Norfolk Line.
(plus maybe a little help from the E diff, or Manettino (sp?) thingy on the steering wheel)
I bet it's a great place to be, and I bet it goes ok
ST170 will be spot on for the trip, fast, comfy, reliable - all handy at the Ring.

You taking the bike again? Or maybe the new track toy Leon? Or the Focus RS? Or maybe the RST if you still have it? You've got a cool fleet to choose from!
