    Beautiful car you should be proud. I only wish that they had acknowledged you in the studio.

    FANTASTIC, I've looked forward to this all week, and loved every minute of it, I also own a power boat and I felt every crashing bump that James May's rear end took (agony). My car to was in a Men and Motors TOP 100 CARS programe while the previous owner still had the car, he drove the car himself and gave a little narrative about testas,I have the video of it and bore freinds with it all the time...WELL DONE YOU

    When that was shot in September the very best Daytonas (Berlinetta's) were probably a little more than £200K (and genuine Spyders way way more than that). Now with the credit crunch I'm not sure.

    It was a great piece and the Hamster is right it is the greatest GT ever!

    rushed back from a curry with the family to watch it

    great car - great scenery and tbh, its best if Hammond did drive it rather than Clarkson
    the colour of your car & interior is stunning - worlds best and coolest GT

    Ant, I looked carefully for you on TG but didn't see you - did you end up going up there for the show?

    SORRY,I just re-read my bit and relalised I never praised your car , the programe just evoked memories for me .(me me me) But your car is pure class.the colour combination is perfect, and Hamster said all the right things,These guy's can often mock anything more than 3 weeks old but he surely knows CLASS and STYLE, he also drove it with the respect that it deserved You are a very lucky Gent

    It was a superb feature, I really enjoyed it. They drove your car respectfully as it looked like and respect for those italian cops also looking really into the ownership of the car !

    Judging by how much Hammand liked it I'm suprised you managed to get it back off him!

    Lovely looking car. :)

    Nice car...I enjoyed the outtakes of Hamster doing smoking, screaming tyre burnouts in your car.

    :)

    Maybe Napolis would agree to let The Stig take P 4/5 car for a toodle on the track for a shot at best time.

    :) :D

    Yes. I thought they managed to put that engine fire out quite quickly though!


    Great episode and a great car! I'll be watching it again tonight. I wonder what time the Daytona would have done around the Top Gear track?

    Such a beautiful car, and a wonderful race. For once, i really didnt care which one won as long as we got more camera time on that beautiful car. You must be a very, very proud man!

    Wow, your car looked fantastic and sounded fantastic in that tunnel. Do you really have to skip 2nd gear so that the gear box doesn't blow up? I soooo wanted the car to win, it looked like Hammond was having a much better and more comfortable time in the car than May was in the boat with a carbon fibre toliet lol. Love the colour as well.

    As I said on the other site, well done you for owning and lending such a beautiful car. The feature was excellant and for once it made no difference in the fact that May won. Hammond turned up in style!
