    It was only a matter of time before these two nutcases would end up meeting face to face.

    Ernie was visiting London for a couple of days and I organised a drive out to the rather swanky Joe Macari showroom in South London for him.

    Picked Ernie up at the Hotel, although I did initially end up at the wrong place as he sent me an incorrect location.

    We were the first to arrive at the secret meet point and a few minutes later Andy arrived in the worlds second most famous 348.

    Last I saw him he was in a yellow Lamborghini Diablo.

    Hope you enjoyed your day out Ernie.

    See you on Skype!

    I had loads of fun with you guys!

    Andy's 348 is OFF THE CHAIN!!! The one and only other 348 that I have been in that is quicker was the Twin Turbo Challenge that Maxwell built. But as far as naturally aspirated, Andy's 348 is the bee's knees. It is silly quick and fast!!! Absolutely LOVE IT!

    Sy my brother, a HUGE thanks for setting everything up! I was just expecting a little get together with some of the 348 guys, and then a drive for a pint or two. You really surprised me, and I had a fantastic time with everyone.

    Soon as I get the pics download off my phone I'll post them up.

    Sy, are you saying that you just abandoned Ernie in London??? Did you at least give London some warning first? ;)

    That is an awesome collection of drool-worthy cars to be housed under one roof. Considering that there's a bar upstairs, I see no reason to ever leave. Looks to have been a great day for everyone. Wish I could have been there.

    Very cool! Looks like a great time, and I'd wager Ernie came back with more than a couple ideas. ;)

    Why are all the steering wheels on the wrong side of the cars? Is this some performance modification we havent heard of yet across the pond?

    It wasn't my fault. I dropped the Google Maps pin right in front of the hotel where I was standing. But you did get there only 5 min late. Sorry for the mix up.

    Here is Sy arriving, and a selfie of us in his 348. By the way the paint job on his car was MINT! Nero metallico, and it was done right! Sy only washed, no wax, at it was shiiiiiiiiney.
