    A wild machine isn't it?

    When I was in the US back in 2007, I was given the opportunity to drive a beautiful 1999 Diablo, but when I sat in the drivers seat, as you can see the angle of the seat in this pic, my legs/knees were jammed against the dash and steering wheel and I could barely reach in the there to start the engine with the key, let alone drive it lol.

    I politely refused of course, I physically could not drive it, but the owner was persistent and kept saying it would be ok etc etc lol

    But nope, no ****en way I was driving that car like that. I wouldn't be able to turn out of the car park to drive off in it that's how tight my legs were against the steering wheel lol

    And i've gained 20 kgs since 2007, so I wouldn't even be able to fit in one now even if I wanted to lol.

    Great story Pap, I had a go in the passenger seat of a gun metal grey one about 20 years ago with my son sat on my lap (one cop town back then :), it was incredible it felt so much more than just a car, it was a proper UFO! , what a treat indeed [emoji16]

    That is great to hear man! Definitely wicked machines.

    After I couldn't drive that, I was offered to drive a brand new Murcielago, so I got into that instead and fit much better so I drove that car instead lol

    Not that I was asking to drive anything, I was too scared being LHD and I didn't end up getting my international drivers license while I was there.

    So if anything happened, it wouldn't have been good if you know what I mean. But I was fortunate to drive a lot of newer Ferraris and the Murcielago while I was there, it was an amazing experience for sure.

    A friend also tee'd up a ride for me in his mates Veyron. He was an ER Doctor in LA and when the day come his Mother was sick, so he had to look after her so I missed out. When he had a day off and reached out, I was on the other side of LA doing something else, so I missed out. So that sucked, would have been awesome to go for a ride in a Veyron when they were near new at the time.

    Great memories for both of us.
