What have you done with your Supercar today ?
Discussion
Took my 550 into town for a new windscreen, to discover that it needs a new trim surround as well. Which is only in Italy. And will take a week to arrive.
So car abandoned at windscreen fitters without a screen fitted, 1hr 20min bus ride home. Hopefully see her again some point next week!

Easter weekend, Italy, 3 Italians and 2 Ducatis on the MotoGP podium so they'll probably still be celebrating this morning.So car abandoned at windscreen fitters without a screen fitted, 1hr 20min bus ride home. Hopefully see her again some point next week!
I admire your optimism
FWIW the wife took the Maser out on Sunday, complained of a flashing light on the dash and beeping for a second or 2. When she got the book out it turned out to be traction control.

Took my F40 to the Supercar Driver meet at Bruntingthorpe. Thought about taking my GTR instead on account of the torrential rain. But then realised I wasn t a girl and took the 40. . . Half way down the M6, after my umpteenth close encounter with the afterlife courtesy of light car/fat tyres/deep puddles, wished i'd taken the GTR. Had a cracking day none the less. Got thrown out of Bruntingthorpe for making use of the runway when it had only been hired for a static event. Got sent a bill for damage to the floor of Hangar 42. Arrived home tired, wet, cold, nerves shredded. Jumped in hot tub with me bird. So all in all, TOP DAY !!!
Classic! I appreciated you doing the donuts anyway, as did everyone else there I'm sure. I assume Mr Bailey will be sharing the bill with you for the "damage" to the floor of Hangar 42?Edited by ewan hoozarmy on Tuesday 31st March 20:28

Got back home and some scumbag had nicked my Ducati Panigale - which was then recovered - we'll assess the damage tomorrow after they've fingerprinted it.....
I've had my Panigale nicked twice. Once the police were quite good and got it back quickly.The second time they were absolutely useless and difficult.
Got it back after more nearly two weeks but only because of the persistence and diligence of the tracker company.
When I went to pick the bike up it was covered in the white fingerprint powder. I asked if they might have just hosed it off and was told, in no uncertain terms, "we have no legal duty to clean it off." "Sir". Paid my £150 and left.......

The had something specifically for cleaning up the powder when they dusted my Lambo for prints after someone nicked the badges. Just varies by force I guess.The second time they were absolutely useless and difficult.

Wish I was with Falconwood tbh 
but did 460 miles today in the 599 collecting parts for my Caterham, Newbury to Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury to Dartford, Dartford to Filston then back to Newbury, can't say it was the best drive, seems half the UK's road network is being dug up with 40/50 limits and the rest is jammed with traffic, 1.5 hrs to get over the QE2 bridge at lunchtime today and in the car for 10 Hours total but guess there's not a much better place to be
