You are most welcome! Will be in from 2pm onwards. Call or sms me by noon Sunday if you are coming. Sorry to sound like a paedo but anyone else with kids welcome. Let them swim or play football. Mike, bring Jordan as well? Let me know.
Besides the result... how was the atmosphere and the off-game experience in Athens? Will it be a nice city to take the kids for a vacation?
I had tubi test pipes on my ex 360 and it was pretty loud. The reason I changed was my original cats went "kaput" and it was cheaper to replace with test pipes which turned out better.
speedline, almost certain the CEL will come on. Car sounds LOUD with TP's, but most engine management systems get confused without the cats, and this invariably triggers the CEL. One solution that always works to prevent the CEL, tho: black tape -
Will let you know on Sunday as my kid's swimming lesson is now postponed to 430pm on sunday. I will try to re-schedule it.
Athens is a bit of a strange city. Large bits of it feel like Tanjong Katong (outside City Plaza), ie not very nice but now and then you get some nice bits that compare with anywhere in Europe. In terms of the history (ruins, museums, etc), its first rate but i doubt it would be the sort of place that younger kids would be enamoured of. If i had to do it again, and with kids in tow, i would do it such that we would spend some time on the islands eg crete and then come into the city proper only for a couple of days.
my intention to go to the TORQUE showcase was to see the Ferrari ENZO!! but where is it? So what if it's the 1 and only in Singapore... Even the Zonda can come!! Kudos to Mr. Pagani for showcasing his car... but feel so sad..Enzo not there.. anyone know why? well not bad the Mclaren was nice.. i only don't like it's back grill.. hmm... Both Lambo looks hot.. Do u think Mr. Enzo will b there 2mrw?
RO1, Phil, Sorry had to hop after 10mins of the RSR launch... got plane to catch. So did KH like ur Spyder? Damn sian at Changi Airport

Damn shagged day but worth it. I rented a new Fiat Punto Diesel, manual for 4days @ just Euro 150. No GPS, just a good map so some recce & u-turns. Drove more than 300kms today from Florence "Firenze" to Bologna then St Agata, Modena, Maranello & back to Bologna. Covered a lot of nice country roads & Autostrada but got stucked in a bl**dy 1hr+ jam near Bologna & saw my exit on the other side ...... I had a Good factory tour of Lambo, museum & a sumptous Italian lunch @ their canteen. Was hosted by their PR manager & PA to CEO. The factory is located in the middle of a small countryside town. Then took an hr+ to find Ferrari. Oh this town is Ferrari, everywhere has got something to do with it & there's so many gift shops plus a superb museum. The best sight was when they knocked off, an army of red soldiers leave the factory gate! Lung, I saw some 599s lapping in a track nearby, that can't be Fiorano right? It was going to rain so I didn't visit Fiorano & it's after 6pm anywy. Didn't get to visit Pagani & Ducati but I took 100s of pics. Back on Monday. Oh yeah Wilson I found the Red Enzo key but only one left.
our bad luck ... the enzo and the zonda didn't turn up at the show ... was really looking forward to seeing these machines ... oh well, perhaps another time ...
