What were you doing around our parts today then?

It wasn't you turning round in a driveway on the outskirts of Corsham/Atworth was it?

Re the Gallardo, it is a local car I believe as it is seen round these parts quite a lot.

I never made it to Melksham... and was just stretching her legs

Thanks for the info on the Lambo - guess not a member then!

That'll be Simon Norris' car (of Norris Designs fame)

I don't think Simon's a member on here, but the car is regularly around the area.

Top sounding car that, he had a Fezza previously (either a 360 or a 430 Spyder) but the Lambo definately causes more of a stir.

Are you thinking of Simon George with the Murci or are there two Lambo owning Simon's in Evo? Simon with the Murci is certainly on here from time to time....

All the best

Good lad, the mans a genius. I spoke to him a couple of years back when I had an Evo VI TME, he was as helpful as anyone in the trade, and clearly... looking at the mentioned performance figures, I reckon he knows his onions!
