I bet this is hell of a machine and you had a blast of a ride, still those flat, wide and in this case white hurl Italian cars don't do it for me.
Everytime I see one of these it is piloted by a footballer, max. 20 year old arab, pimp, drug or arms dealer.
Not the kind of people I generally look up to.
Also there are those lovely Ultimas, Radicals, Nobles and Caterhams out which go faster around a track, so no reason to get a Fezza anyway wink

I experience a lot of these kind of cars. See my profile to see the kind of stuff I mean...

I think that that's bks what you said. A huge number of the owners of these cars work their asses off for these cars. It's a bit short sighted to generalise. I'm no expert, but I wouldn't have thought that most drug dealers would want to gather attention to themselves in a 458 either wink

It's on a friday. I'll be making an appearance too.

Unfortunatly the Subaru I was going to be entering will not be there as it is currently in the planning stage of getting a new body...something a little bit more inconspicuous.

See EVO mags performance stats for the 458. Unbelievable. 0-100mph in 6.something seconds. Not all about numbers though. Id prefer a mint f355, imho prettier and better sounding.

that 458 looks totally stunning in white. I'm used to quick cars, and bikes......and to be honest staight line on a bike is ok, but nothing like being in a decent Fezza or the like.

A friend took me for a quick spin in his Challenge S the other - and it was such a stunning car. It felt really quick - and i'm sure the 458 tops it significantly.

I'm sure the R1 is quicker in a straight line - but for me it does nothing. Anything but a totally straight line and the 458 will destroy any bike (as well as most other decent cars)

I want one.......

Ah just thought maybe you'd be running a car there? Not to worry. smile

Hopefully it won't rain this time! I was at the drag championships for the Saturday in May and it rained ALL DAY frown

I was there in May. I went on Saturday then stayed for Sunday when it didn't rain.

Hey, of course you're right, my previous post is very generalised, and who knows, maybe things are different here in Germany compared to what it is like in the UK, also you would never hear me say 'everybody who owns a Fezza/458 is a criminal, fact!', still the people _I_ see in those cars are the ones mentioned above.
Imagine one of those lovely car shows you in the UK have so many ones of, on one side there are all Fezzas and Lambos gathered togheter on the other side you have any two of McLaren, Noble, Radical, Ultima, TVR, Caterham. Not owning a car from either side or knowing the drivers, I knew which side I'd first try to get in touch with, just because of choice of cars and what I associate with it.
Ofc I will be wrong a lot of times and there will be gents and wkers on either side, still I suspect one to be slightly more mafioso, no surprise it is the one coming from a country governed by Berlusconi wink.
Still I think Toyless had a blast of a ride, so everything fine, just I hope he will get the chance to experience a blat in one of the cars mentioned above as well smile.
