Really enjoyed this, especially the ride up in Rocco's Diablo. An intoxicating V12 and Lamborghini doors make quite the fuss. Some pictures:
The lass who owns that G-Wagen lives in my village, the mrs had spotted on facebook she was there. Not sure if the MP4-12C belongs to someone in her family, might have to try blagging a ride if it does...Edited by Fayaz LP640 on Sunday 17th May 17:22
We considered going to the show on Sunday but didn't bother in the end, maybe next year.
Just spotted this thread. Usually don't know where to look for locals as I live right on the border, and both the NW and Scotland sections cover large parts of the country. I say I live on the border, my parents do, and I'm at uni down country but travel up quite often. Carlisle is 20 mins away, would be good to meet up with some fellow petrolheads when I'm in the area, will keep this thread bookmarked.
Don't own anything that ranks high in PH points car wise yet but hopefully that'll change once I'm working (i.e. very soon!)

I live and work around Carlisle and often drive over to Whitehaven to see family, so no doubt I will see you around!
The fastest I have ever made the Carlisle to Whitehaven run is 27 minutes. Thats a decent lap time for you to beat

27 mins
that's going to torment me
Mitsubishi Evo 6 - lightly tuned to around 390bhp.27 mins
that's going to torment me
Just after midnight. No traffic.
No less than approx 80mph round the twisty bits bar the odd bad bend and the roundabouts.
140ish on all the straights such as Moota.
Almost 40 miles exactly.
Average speed 88mph.
Right car, dry conditions, good tyres and no traffic and you'll get there!
The Evo was in it's element as you can imagine. Can't get near that time in my 993.
