High Guys, Contra to speculation I have not smashed the CS. I had to do the family bit for Xmas and new Year. 2 weeks in darkest Derbyshire - I woun't wish it on my enimies. I didn't know I had that many cousins and nieces/nephews. AHHHHHH!!!!! The Victorians were right "seen, but not heard". Well at least you can give them back when there not your own. That's it. Done. Should keep everybody quiet for 12 months. So now for the important stuff. WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING. WHAT HAVE I MISSED. Have I really got to plough through two weeks for posts. Can't someone feel a little sorry for all i've had to put with; screeming kids, deaf old ladies, too much turkey, pudding, and god I hate dry sherry and just fill me in with the highlights. Spider. What ever happened to the CS you were going for. Tony, Ben Whats new. come on guys cough up. Wazza Oh yeh and Chelsea keep loosing
Can't argue with that - we're flying and Charlton are catching you up. That was Xmas 2003 for you. Image Unavailable, Please Login
out of all the people out there that could have responded it had to be a bloody Man U supporter. Nothing to say to you - GO AWAY- i'll wait for someone else to talk to
Hi wazza, I'm new here. I see you have a CS. I hope you're enjoying it. Well mine is coming in June from Maranello. I can't wait. Although I'm driving(testing) a CS on Monday for 4 days so that will be the acid test for me.Hopefully it will strengthen by thoughts on the CS. Looking forward to it. I saw some pics of yours in the showroom. it's rosso scuderia I gather as opposed to rosso corsa.That's what I have ordered. I haven't seen this colour in the flesh on a CS yet although I think the one I am driving on Monday will be this colour. How many miles have you done with your CS? any probs or glitches? Regards
Hi Stradman, I love the CS definately the best road car i've ever driven. Done about 1250 miles. just had it's 1000 mile check. No problems. BTW mine's Rosso corsa not Scuderia. The Scuderia red is the more orange looking, like the Formula One cars. I've not seen that colour so can't comment. The big £3500 question is did you go for the stripe? Wazza
I didn't realise that I was chatting to you on the phone while you were still surrounded by your immediate family. Thought you might to know the outcome and what I ordered: Black (nuovo nero daytona), stripe, black/red alcantarra interior, black four point belts, yellow brake calipers - did go for the stripe as you see. Collecting car in April from Italy which should be great fun!
Nice one Robin. I think the black with the stripe looks wonderful. Are you going to hang on to the CSL? And get your son some go-kart lessons to channel that natural talent Wazza
Haha, Not certain about the CSL although I have decided to advertise it in Autocar this coming week. It's far better than I expected, will give most cars a hard time especially round the bends and has four seats to boot. Difficult to convince Sarah I need to bloody quick cars when I also have three motorcycles that will do 150+ - she's compalining I spend to much of MY money. You're as much of an insomniac as I am I see
Just so others know what my sons natural talents are: He's 11 (well 12 a week ago). At the end of October he 'borrowed' my CSL and drove it 25 miles at 10pm at night (dark) along winding, twisting B roads and didn't crash. The real point is as far as I know he had never before driven any sort of vehicle! I wasn't too pleased just in case anybody thinks I was the proud dad.
I am afraid no. Not bold enough I guess. Anyway, I really don't think it is necessary on a car like this. If it were to say add a second to the accelaration then maybe I would go for it!
Wazza Not a Man U fan, as you know, but I am sure the Mighty Leeds will give you a run for your money next season! Or Not! Got the car, by the way. Happy as a pig in ****! Ed
welcome back Wazza, Me and Tony saw yr car at NEC in car park, was gonna nick the wheels, Bodybits and interior for the old Spider. Thought betta of it, Im sticking to the Spider until next yr and see how it pans out.. unless you wanna give me a good PX on yrs ...lol Mind you shes done a few miles now.. Did you go on the Karts Wazza?? or did the Caterham Sideways motion take yr fancy?? Joe Image Unavailable, Please Login
In fact if we have any Premiership club supporters, I would suggest that this is the thread for them to join in merrily. Ranieri.............get's the sack Ranieri, Ranieri, get's the sack!
OK That's it i'm going over to the porsche site you get a much more freindly bunch over there. AND I CERTAINLY DON@T EXPECT ANY **** FORM A LEEDS FAN you won't even be in the premiership next season. Hey Robin, Sign your son to Palmer Motor Sport now. You could make a fortune by the time he's sixteen. (that's if he hasn't already been locked up) The New F1 Champ by 18. You've got it made Use him. You see fathers doing to their kids all the time. Wazza
I'll offer what back up i can -fellow Chelsea fan- , Wazza.That should defo. have been a peno. for foul on Mutu in dying seconds of week game. Cheating Scouse rabble got away with it! Tony
Off to Fulham v Everton today as Chelsea are up at Liecester. Come on you West Londoners. And before you northern Bstds make any comments about deserting a sinking ship. It is standerd practice in Fulham /Chelsea watch which ever team is at home. Wazza
It is standerd practice in Fulham /Chelsea watch which ever team is at home. Wazza[/QUOTE] That is fantastic! I watch Hull City from time to time if Leeds are too far away, but i fear my next trip to the Capital might be to Leeds vs Leyton Orient! Oh well.... Enough Football now surely..... and don't call me Surely.....
Warren - and the rest of the crew - I too have returned from a long excile in New York - which involved too much gin, too many girls and not enough sleep. But I was at the Autosport show on Friday reacquainting myself with all things motorsport, and some beautiful Ferraris. Met with Jonathan Palmer and heared some interesting things about his purchase of Brands / Oulton / Snett / Cadwell. Joe - thanks for your message about the Challenge cars - will check them out. We had a discussion with Porsche Motorsport about the UK Carrera Supercup - but they're proper piss-takers - wanted £8-10k for a one day test!!! Perhaps they've been talking sales training from the boys in Staines ;-) I'll echo Warren with a request for updates - what's the news? Ben.
Ben welcome back and HNY. A few dates for your diary; Feb 1 -meeting planned.PM Stig for venue locations as there's a new high-tech list he's put together.. Feb 22- Pistonheads Virginia Water meet. March 21 - Bruntingthorpe tear up. Regards Tony
Tony thanks for the update - and a happy new year to you too. I'll put those dates in the diary - particularly the tear-up - sounds like my type of thing! Stig - what's this hi tech list thing all about??? Ben.
Wazza :- Andy here I could give you a detailed run down of the 4 goals CHARLTON put past you lot on boxing day, but then chelsea loseing to the MIGHTY ADDICKS is nothing new is it.
