Glad to be of service mate. Just remember there's no statute of limitations on your friends taking the piss out of you

You know I want you to get the Aston, please, pretty please?
Yes, well, I was quite juiced about one, right up until the point you made your observation that they're a bit of an old mans car . Actually, if you saw the original Vanquish concept they have at the factory, you'd change your mind. Strict two seater, bucket seats, non-standard exhaust etc. Looked pretty damn good. Maybe after the Stradale. When I'm a bit older.

The only other car that's taken my fancy recently is the XJR13 replica they have at Racing Green. But I can't see you in that somehow.... Works for me, but then I'm much older than you! Git.

Actually thats a very nice looking car, but you're right, not something I'd buy!!!

Seriously, I still think you should get the Vanquish, you'd be the youngest guy your age, I promise...

Manu reckons the sound might have a lot to do with my enjoyment of the 360. He might be right. I need to have a listen to Pani's 360 again, that sounded ace!! Proper screamer like a bike. Might get a similar set up, without the ecu though, we'll see.

Afraid not! It was sold on by SA Classics a month or so ago and has subsequently been written off.

Ali,

If you can get a good price for your 360 now and are not in love with it, sell it.

Ferraris are bought with the heart, not the head

Get an F40 if you can afford to, even if just to annoy Basher! You won't lose much money on it and damn will it be a sweet car, even for just a few months.

What about a 575M? A tad cheaper than an F40, plus prob better running costs, and drivability round town. The insurance for the F40 would be steep would'nt it too?

MOD.

That broke my heart that did, I really wanted one with tiger skin covers

I did broke you an email a little while back you slag, but never heard from you... figured you were busy with your late night clients

I really want to see what your 355 is like now, we should swap cars for half an hour or so, I'll drive that 355 like it was meant to be driven, not the way you poodle around in it Seriously though, we got to catch up, got to wind James up a little bit too.

I'm getting some quotes for insurance, but its looking bloody expensive!!! First lot have come in at £12K!!! WTF? Also, the cheapest I've seen at official dealers is at £180K or so, I was hoping for the £150Ks?

Andrew, hope all is well with you? Hows the course going? The F40 actually gets my blood pumping, but part of me really fancies an F50... more modern looking, sounds awesome too!

I was just thinking about it this morning, for the price of the 360 I could have a 355 spider, and a 550 Maranello, makes you wonder hey?

You're tempted by an F50!!
Get one of those babies! Personally i think they're the best looking uber-Ferrari of the last few decades, sound fab, drive very well and are just a better car than the F40 if you intend to do more than just track it.
I'll send you an email later today about more personal stuff

F50....NO!

355 & 550 yes!

F40 yes!

12k insurance.....NO.

365GTB (Daytona)? Had a guy driving one next to me down to the boat show in Miami on Sunday. SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL. That would be a sweet choice my friend.

Al- Lamborghini London have a red Gallardo in their showroom at the moment and it looks incredible! It's rosso something wierd (slightly more orange than rosso barchetta) and is due to be delivered to someone in Westlife on March 1st. To my eyes it looks MUCH better than the usual black or yellow offerings. I hadn't thought the Gallardo was colour sensitive, but it is, big time. Couldn't believe how good it looked. Check it out mate.

I only said I really fancy one! Definitely couldn't afford to run one of those, I wish I could!, I'll leave that to people who can, and really should, ( at Kevin... hint hint)

I'll go tomorrow and check out the Gallardo, but I just dont think I fancy it. The interior doesnt do it for me either, and its just small, too small.

Maybe I'll just keep the 360, for now anyway.

Ali,

What about getting your name down on the Murcielago Barchetta list?

You like the Murcielago and this would give you the topless option too

Rico

ps. you going to VW?

A young blade like yourself needs a black RHD Murcielago really.

That's what I'd get with your budget. The 911GT3-RS, GT3, Turbo etc. are just too normal for your nightclubbing needs, despite being a better proposition for normal folk who don't run model agencies and rug dealing empires

Go exotic, but modern exotic. The F40 is daft because it is a classic exotic. Don't get anything classis unless you fancy using that vaseline on your trunions.

I have got Derestrictor on the case as well. See PistonSlap 5 when it gets released.

As for Manu, I haven't had the pleasure in a while (one of the lines he uses on the Egham ladies, I believe!)

Next week, name the day.

Maybe see you at VW?
