Truly great video, great driving, great cars, great to see someone own both, particularly great to see someone own both and want them driven in such a way.
Benchmark day I would say.

Monkey just when u thought your day job couldn't get any better .....

Great vid awesome cars and you drove them like u stole them. Bet your thinking
of what to sell to finance a F40 now ......

I must look for that tape as i always liked the Audi sound .... and as for owning the Porsche tosser.

Fancy making a vid with a TVR Tuscan S with a full 550hp LS7 conversion no ABS or traction control
you only need to ask ...

Absolutely fantastic! Couldn't help but grin like a demented fool for most of the video.

Nice touch inviting Mark Hales to contribute. Best of luck to him going forward.

I think these cars, along with Mclaren F1, and last but not least the Carrera GT, are the best drivers cars ever built.
I dont care much for the new supercars, with the exception of the Zonda.

Where on earth do you go from here Chris, I think you just filmed your best video ever, and the interview with Hales, epic.

I also remember the Fast Lane Cassette vividly, the calmness of Hales voice whilst he's playing with what I think is still the best car ever made, the F40.

The Lister Jaguar was also pretty nice to listen too, I think someone should turn it into a CD.

Edited to say - Can anyone on here turn it into an MP3 file for us all to re-live again?

Great video.

F40 sounds a bit horrible on the inside. It sounds a bit jap-4 pot. I would love to have the F40, with the engine from the F50 because that V12 sounds frickin awesome.

Watching it now, I had the Fast Lane magazine with the cassette tape that they're talking about. It had an effect on me too hehe

Yes. The F40 is THE car. No contest.

I found the copy of Fast Lane magazine with the cassette in it in my attic the other month and it bought back so many memories !!!!

JEEEZ!!!

I saw these two in the flesh at my local petrol station about 5 miles from Anglesey circuit!! I drove past with the Mrs... "oh look a Ferrari" i said...

As we get closer... "oh s**t, it's an F40"... i said as the 10 yr old in me starts to emerge!

"oh, very nice" she said.... "AND an F50?!?!?" was my reply, as we were just passing the station!

about 300 yards down the road, a quick 3 point turn to go back to see the cars once again! At this point the Mrs was totally un-amused as we were late getting to wherever we needed to be. For the rest of the journey, I was to lecture her on the brilliance and value of both cars and how only a handful of people have actually seen these 2 cars ON THE ROAD, together.

That my friends, was a good day! biggrin
