Congrats, Jon! It's a car that I would have seriously considered if not for my own little Spider. I'm sure it's a good-looker, especially with the turbo body. So who's going topless next? Lung? Come come don't shy!
That's a very good point! All race cars are taken apart every few months for complete overhaul. Let's hope the oil & actuators keeps up.
bro, congrats! i wonder what it will take to complete your cup. a cat perhaps? seriously, i was thinking along the same lines and i consider my cup only 1/3 filled. i dont think it will be full until 2010 (hint: think italian; then english). the aim is to have a german, an italian and an english; an 8 cylinder, a 10 cylinder and a 12 cylinder! bo bian, heow is like that one...
My understanding is that HSM allocation is 12 cars against 16 deposits. Also one of my friends approached HSM on Monday to order one...and was turned down coz no allocation.
excuses, excuses... btw, i have your tix for saturday, dont forget. will try and get them to you somehow.
Bro, so when r u collecting or already collected yours? My last 1/3 would be a nice classic Ferrari. The Lambos or modern cars can come & go but nice & valuable classics are always admired though not necessarily expensive. So now I have a boxer 6 & V12, a V8 will be nice Haven't thought about the countries though & the only nice English cars I like are classics. Sky's dark again. Thought I bought the correct car for "summer" but it's been raining lately
So looks like our Max should've sold his #2 slot How's the CS treating you or rather you treating it?
CS very good car. The faster u go...the more stable it gets.. coz of the aerodynamics. At lower speeds i.e. under 80 the car feels twitchy. But abover 100 it sticks like glue. The gear shifts are slow.. around 300msec.. but still acceptable. The low end torque needs to be improved. I will probably chip the car and change the exhaust to improve the low end. The exhaust is really obnoxious above 5000rpm in race and 7000 in normal mode. I am in talks with Larini to see what the improvements will be if we changed the exhaust. Very easy to drive. Not as height friendly as a Gallardo, but better than a GT3. Can drive with finger tips coz its superlight. I also love the 4 point seatbelt...it doesn't crease my office shirts..hahaha. My wife hates the white stripe down the middle. But I tell her it makes the car go faster.
I actually have a tennis tournament on Sat (d'oh!) but will try to re-schedule my game (or pray for rain). Wouldn't miss the show for all the world - thanks!
what a great reason to give the TP next time you get stopped, haha! "but officer, i had to go fast to be safer!". yah, right...
Isnt there a limit how how many LC u can do before the car goes into the workshop for clutch? Last i heard is 10 And no LC is not hokkien, though i kinda of like the similarities
Bo bian, times are hard hor, must make a living somehow, i figured how to have "good meals" lately! My neighbour likes to cook great meals everyday hor, so the smell of fish , meat wafts over to my dump, so as i eat plain rice and drink plain water, i smell the food and viola! I am brilliant am i not?
From the looks of the changes, i shall say for once, the car is actually worth the extra premium. Go buy it lei
Lung, I've been wanting to ask you this Q as I almost bought one early this year before the G. Thought you said the 430 is a much better car but why did you make one round & came back to a CS & I know you didn't even like the 360? Is it because it's a more involving ride & lesser electronic gadgets=more focus or is it a prelude to the Scuderia or.....
U mean launch control? I was looking @ some guys doing donuts in their Murcie on U-tube, don't think I'll ever want to do that but it does help to get out of spins faster.
Very true, Mr Bobby! Was your first car the Murci or the red Modena? Do you still have the white G? Quite true actually. Black looks nice on the 599...only. I have to agree with you though I am not a fan of the colour black on cars. Seems dull. Well it works on some cars...
I think it's interesting to personalise the car even a CS. Lung's been thru many Fcars & their Italian schools so he should know better. I'm eager to see what can be done to improve it.
Did you guys see the Lambo advert in the papers today? It's in the main paper (ST). About the 100th Lambo on the roads in Sg.
My car was the murci my sisterss car was the modena... but every 1 saw me in both of them so they all figured both were mine haha.. No te wite G SE belongs to our good friend lung now
