    Cold but sunny day in Adelaide. When the rest of the household said they were going shopping, I hit the road. Mid afternoon start and the traffic all seemed to be going the other way. :)

    Seems like months since we've all been out for a run; we must do it again before they make it illegal. (Hang on, it is illegal - at least the way we do it :D).

    Adelaideans, where's this top pic taken?

    The SE really is the bees knees looks wise. It's hard to believe a few CF accents and those amazing wheels alone can change the appearance so much.

    There are some basic observation pertaining to Gallardo vs F430 in this thread: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=112309 Scud also has experience with the Challenge Stradale, so perhaps he can comment. It's always interesting to hear the thoughts of someone who owns both cars, as you'd expect there to be a little less bias than the thoughts of a one-eyed devotee to a marque who wouldn't touch the opposition in a purple fit.

    Mark, we had an OHOS run to Strath for breakfast this morning. 5 e-types, an mgb-gt, the RENSC and a 355 spyder. a bit more sedate than the original SFR's. it's about time you got that bambino and joined us. goober could come along in the 330. no gt3's allowed.

    5 E-types? Damn!

    I see a Bambino in Perth on drive.com.au at realistic money. I should ask Dingo to have a look for me. I don't think Goober will like the idea of the 500 and the 330 in the same breath. Somehow I reckon the Fiat might struggle in the company you were out with today. Still want one though...

    and all 5 e-types made it home successfully. i think that's a record. :D

    they get all sorts of cars go on sunday runs now. even the 355, so i guess the SE would be welcome. it's at a bit more realistic start time also. usually about 8:30. if/when we go out again, i'll let you know.

    Rob, do you know an e-type guy called Chris Waldock? builds a lot of engines for people here and been doing it for many years. he's a friend and neighbour and the main organiser of our OHOS runs.

    Sublime! I'd happily have a series 1 coupe or series 1 roadster with hardtop. When I get a chance, I'll post the E-Type pics I took at Albert Park in 1994.

    It annoys me that every year the 356 Parade at Como Park is always on the same day as the Jaguar Concours.
