Nice collections of cars - you got any pics???? Usually get up to scotland sometime in the autum with cars or bikes for a blast accross those lovely roads... Image Unavailable, Please Login
Is that applecross? I dont own a Ferrari unfortunately but a friend of mine does near Dundee, Titanium f430 spyder. Col.
Might as well come out of 'lurking mode' for this thread... I am also in Scotland, up in Arbroath(ish). Just got a 355 last month to go with a Lotus Elise 111R, a Lotus Exige S1 190, a MINI Cooper, and some boring stuff. Jim
Hey Guy, hows things? I live in Glasgow at weekends and London during the week. No Ferrari but a Plymouth Prowler and a couple of others. Next on the list for me is a Diablo VT. A Thats a nice collection you've got, the 599 is growing on me, as long as it doesnt have the pentagon wheels although i also think its the kind of car that draws you in when you see it in the flesh. Nice to meet you Jim, GTS or GTB? A big lotus fan are we, talking about lotus's, have any of you had any experiences with the 340R i think it is called, the sort of racing lotus with a motorbike engine in the back, no doors etc? Regards, Matthew
Thank u! ill try get some pictures of them up as soon as the bloody snow goes away!! I love the 599, a friend has one with the standard wheels, and another wit the upgrades, te standards dont do it justice at all, but i change the wheels on my cars anyway, so im planning on some nicer custom ones regards Guy
I live just north of Inverness, and appear to be the only ferrari in the area - try to use it as often as possible -rain,wind or shine -no snow,frost or salt - any ferrari activity in the area?
Good post Guy, I thikn it's got all the Scottish lurkers out, 2 so far !!! We should have a meet at knockhill some night, they usually do a Top Marques or Dreadnought night which I don't always go on track, just meet with a few mates. Maybe as the summer comes in we could get togeather sometime. any other Scottish lurkers out there?
Jim never realised you were so close, as I live 2 miles west of Leuchars but originaly from Broughty Ferry.
Hi Matthew, I went for a GTB, rosso/crema, manual with tubi exhaust and decat. I think it fitted my mental image of a ferrari As for the Lotus, Mmmmmmmmmm... yeah, I guess I am a bit of a fan. The elise is my 3rd so far so I suppose I must be keen and the S1 Exige was just available through a friend of a friend at the right time. I have had them both on track in the past year but will probably stick to the exige this year. I actually sold an absolute mint Lotus Esprit GT3 to make way for the 355 and wondered if I would regret it.. but thats now a definate NO!! I have seen a couple of 340R's at Knockhill and they look fun but seems a bit impractical, although they have the same Rover 190 VHPD car engine as my Exige. Hi Dave, Almost neighbours I am originally from Dundee but somehow ended up near Arbroath via Edinburgh and Glasgow. Jim
the Red one? sadly not - im not sure whose that is, i arrived back from Singapore and it was sitting there. When i left there was only one in Aberdeen (black) now i have seen 3. My friend owns a red one, but not that one. Mine is ordered, but not coming, its in Singapore. He he, i do try - at least we would have at least 2 cars at knockhill!!
