    I bet you do!

    Doubt I'd let myself develop more than a passing interest in concors.
    Understand human psychology and how the more effort one makes the more invested one becomes.
    Learnt about how that works out on the land.
    Never ever work your own land, must be the first rule of successful land-holding.

    Guess, I'll keep an eye out for non-Oz QV's without the later instrument config and re-open enquiries if I find one.

    It was nowhere near full Challenge spec. Quite modified for sure; but not full Challenge.

    I'll bet you didn't notice the Porsche emblem in place of the Ferrari badge on the nose of the QV :)

    was as close as I could get to a black horse on a badge at a cheap price

    FYI - I can keep up with a 430 at Barbagallo - not a Scud though - they are uberquick :(

    I suspect Eastern Creek will be a different story :(

    well i easily kept up with AHG in his 430 at winton...but he wasn't on hoosiers.

    and...who was driving the 430? were you at your car's limit, and was he? too hard to judge.

    i remember lapping faster than an F40LM too!

    Did you see the recent Octane track test by Tony Dron of all (well, most) of the RS variants?

    I'm looking forward to the next issue which features an article on the F355 (road test between it and a DB7). Can't wait to read it.

    apart from 4 wheels and a steering wheel, what possible comparison could one make between those cars???

    "they're exactly the same but completely different"??

    The article points out that the 355 is the older car, but has a much higher retained value than the DB7. Being Poms, they can't bring themselves to say that this is largely because the DB7 is a rebodied Jag XJS with a Ford engine full of Mondeo V6 bits. i.e. its a glorified kit car. It wasn't even built in the Aston Martin factory!
