What have you done with your Supercar today ?

[ajr550]

So I spent a happy morning cleaning it today !

[NoPaddleShiftForMe]

Cleaned up and ready to go. Manual LP640, quiet A roads and Scottish sunshine. Days don't get much better.

Nothing....

In fact I've not driven it since September last year.

Today I'm still waiting on it to come back from it's spring fettle and new roof fitting....
Guaranteed it'll be back just in time for the rain to come.

Collected a take-away and practiced my 'careful' driving so as not to spill it all over the passenger footwell.

I am doing very exciting stuff with it ....
Monday: Salzburg to Munich
Wednesday: Munich to Salzburg
Later today: Salzburg to Munich

... and repeat .... and repeat ...

would be decent fun if there was no traffic at all, but in traffic it can be a bit boring (would probably shoot myself if I had to do this in a "normal" car without a nice engine to listen to/rev out through the gears when there is a little space).

Ha, me too! Except I go Munich-Mattighofen-Munich and I'm in a hire car... The supercar stays in the garage...

fair enough, with most supercars I'd feel those are - relatively speaking - wasted journeys (although I did West London to Canary Wharf daily in a 355 as well ...), but given that my current car (and only car) is a FF, I figured this is the only thing it is really good at - so better use it as intended.

Goal is to get the mileage as high as possible and see how the car holds up long term (well as long as it is in warranty anyway ...). It will probably soon be unsellable anyway given that it is also my dog carrier ...

wish more people would take the train so I have some more space It is quite fast through the gears, but in the corners you can really feel how bloody heavy the thing is.

Thursday picked up laundry in Speciale.Friday tracked it at Silverstone in Passione event.
Who needs more than one car ?

On Wednesday I started a trip to the Alps in my Gallardo SL. On Thursday approaching the Swiss border I got a puncture. The tyre was shagged. The earliest I could get a replacement tyre (x2), was Monday. So I pick it up Monday (tomorrow) and spend another day driving on autoroutes and motorways to get home ready for work on Tuesday. Grrr...

I still had an amazing trip round as many alpine passes as we could manage, but in the passenger seat of friends cars.

Took it for a final drive this year before parking it in the garage for the winter - next stop spring!



Sadly I don't know anyone else locally with ownership of similar so it was a solo run, still fun though.

Raced the Runway at RAF Leuchars for ABF The Soldiers' Charity. She hit 180mph and was still pulling hard when I ran out of runway.

[ajr550]

Cool

pushed it out the garage to look at for the weekend yesterday, only to push it back in at 9:30pm last night as it started raining

I do the same but i start mine to get it in and out of the garage.

[Fuoco]

They don't like to be started and not used, the throttle bodies get carbon build up

Great pic. Did you drive down or ferry?

[GG33]

Thanks

Ferry to Bilbao, returned from Santander

[MDL111]

Went along the coastal road to Krka (or some such name) national park and then to the supermarket to buy Gin
People in Croatia are a little insane - speed limits seem to be treated as a suggestion and who ever thought overtaking in corners was stupid ....
