    Ideally, a Diablo Roadster - IF I find a good one. If I'll get desperate, then I'll just get a VT, but if I do, just like in the past, I'll regret that it's not a roadster...
    The new lambos do nothing for me, although the pics I saw of that baby blue Gallardo Spider, that was a sexy thing :)

    Ah, that explains why we had to wait half an hour for it to catch up each time :)

    Actually that's because I'd always sleep in and leave the hotel last and I had to catch up with you guys ;)

    Just had my car detailed, sooooo glad I took all your advice & did the clear bra, some chips right through the bra, one through the headlight, which would have been a new light without I bet, couple through the bumber, the windscreen copped heaps and bonnet a couple. Where the bra didn't quite cover the Hartge spoiler it is totally peppered.

    All in all, only small damage thanks to the bra, hate to think what it would be like without, or what Tony's car looks like, haven't seen his yet, respray I'll bet from the look of the tiny uncovered bits of mine.

    How is everyone else's cars?

    My windscreen is fine this year. Last year I travelled too close and paid the price. No marks at all on the film - see other post.

    Just a couple of minor stone chips and a spot or 2 on the windscreen. Certainly a lot better that without the bra.

    One thing I did notice though, was the black plastic piece under the front apron. It had caught a stone about 6mm and with the high speed driving had started to lift a little. Have removed the stone and refixed it flush again.

    All ship shape and ready to rock again!

    The Scudmobile covered in crap and Brad's 996TT - nice car and a really nice guy (and very drunk at times :p ).

    Nice car indeed. :) How did his 911 go up there? Was he there to push the car hard and do you know what top speed he managed?
    He probably drove the car faster when he was blind drunk behind the wheel. :p

    285kmh or thereabouts with a non-functioning rear spoiler. :eek:

    It wouldn't raise automatically as its meant too, so Francois (Ferrari/Lambo tech.) forced it into the "up" position and held it there with some tape for the final day of the trip..

    I only spent a short trip in the car and its like all Porsches to me - fast, comfortable but boring when compared to something Italian. The fact his aftermarket front discs made some annoying clicking noise didn't help me enjoy the ride. :)

    I thought we weren't supposed to talk out of school. I'd be careful, stories might start to surface about 2 guys in a spa and how they made bubbles in there :)
