mmmmmmm....don't react...........don't react...........don't react...........don't react...........don't react...........don't react...........no easy but.........don't react...........

 

Thanks Simon, great pictures!!

Let me also add that driving the beast in these conditions is definitely NOT easy. There's so much torque that on cold tarmac (also still covered in salt from winter) the tires spin in the first 3 gears quite happily if you give it more than 20% throttle!!

I had a really scary moment, when on a twisty country road I passed a Citroen crawling at 50Km/h. I was in second gear and I just floored it. Within 100m I was doing about 130Km/h, but the road wasn't straight... I got the 550 into a kind of 4-wheel slide into a seriously tight curve while trying to slow it down without swapping ends on a cold, dirty tarmac that I soon realised didn't provide enough grip for a 500-HP monster hurled at over 100 Km/h!! You can imagine this turned quite a few of my hairs white. While it was happening I was already thinking "****! Now what do I tell the insurance?" but suddenly the car regained composure and stayed on the road. An excursion into a snowy field on my first outing would have been quite embarassing... but in Sport mode does the damn ASR EVER kick in, or does it wait until you've peed in your pants???

Conclusion: 500 BHP are way too much for cold, icy, dirty tarmac. I think it will be a VERY long time before I have the balls to switch traction control off!!

 

nice pics!

 

Whats that ???
.....the right foot?

Just kidding, I know what you are talking about Andrea. Its definitiv too much torque!!!!! I drove my beast last year in January, February and got my lesson!!! Now, I`m still waiting for the spring...never ever on snow & ice.

 

@ Simon

great pics!

@ Wolfie

LOL, maybe I saw too much and toooooo expensive P cars yesterday in P town

 

Wonderful pics....scary driving conditions! You guys are made of sterner stuff than I am! Cheers, MARK

 

I was. I mean I did. I mean I meant Scotland!

I am sooooo tempted for Tuscany but not sure that budget/time will allow it. Remind me of the dates please? The three day bit in S Gimignano could be an option - is that over a weekend?

 

No idea when it's on Marc....probably around "Baby Time"! MARK

 

The dates are actually quite fixed - the hotels are booked and it is not very easy to rearrange everything. As Simon said, check my new post which includes all the details you need to know.

 

Wooow awesome pics !!!
I like the ones with the lightrays very much!!

 

Great pics, guys... just a pity we don't live nearby (especially when snowing, I wouldn't favour a 2hours+ drive). Would have LOVED to join you, that would have been a 3rd black car.

Shall we start a separate thread to build a black-cars-club ?
