    Thanks Pap :D

    Spotted these outside the botanical gardens today! Black M5 and Red 360 Spider. The Ferrari took off, what a sound it made, omg!! then the M5 followed, and held out 1st gear, Sounded louder and more insane than the 360 :D

    any idea on the exhaust? 1neon's in the NT sounded dam good for a bimmer, but then i pointed out that this thing is a 500hp V10 capable of very respectable revs... it needs to sound better. i want to hear one with straight-through pipes, it would give the old 525i a bit of street cred. :cool:

    Yes, Pete's exhaust was a nice upgrade. I wouldn't do the body kit, but the exhaust I could use. I'd like to get the dealer's blessing for warranty, but fat chance I suppose.

    Saw a red *gasp* F430 today out at the You Yangs.

    Was in my car, and for some reason, he didn't seem that impressed when I gave him thumbs up *shrug*

    his 550 was the prototype for the 575 F1

    you read all the F1 news, go back to 96-97 and check out the news, Luca said to Schu he'd be happy for 2 wins and Schu said he'd get 3 and LDM said if he did he'd give him a car

    he did this again some years later and was given a Bambino :D
