    My friend and i went for a quite drive in his 1985 alfa gtv6 to lygon st, when i spotted a race car coming over the hill towards us. I have only ever seen one on the track, and this definately made my day. Somehow we ended up infront of him, and when he had the chance, he got the revs up and the boost going and screamed past us. Its not every day you get passed by a supercar in melbourne. Anyway i managed to get a very small video of it. I have some pictures too that i might post up later.

    Just quickly, nothing to do with the f40, but i was on my way to work, turning off plenty road onto gorge rd in south morang, at the lights just before 6.30am the other day, soo freekin cold, in a daze waiting for the bloody lights to change and i heard this amazing sound, i thought "i know that sound!" looked up and there was a F355 challenge cruising through the lights infront of me! had a smile on my face all the way to work :)

    LOL sorry - everyone else around here is so old I sometimes forget other folks here might have meaningful birthdays. :p I still remember you and Stefan from the old days being annoying little trolls.

    Nice to know some people around here can actually grow up! :D

    1st one.

    what i find hilarious was the age is deleted, but the price of the car was happly advertised/speculated/told whatever whatever.

    you'd think if the guy with vanity was so concerned about the price as much as the age, he'd of made it disappear. LOL LOL LOL LOL

    stay tuned for more

    lol...stop calling me a girl!

    scud doesn't get it. i was the first person to do what i did with the first real supercar ever. i think the whole thing was great, no matter how wanky it seems now.

    another funny thing....me mentioning 'pig' and 'newspaper articles'...i was wondering who would succumb and make some stupid post first....skunk or maidan!

    hehe..i still crack me up.
