Hehehehe - I'm still in awe!!

Tuan very graciously today dropped in on my humble residence with his light blue Italian beast in tow, and much to my delight it contained an empty passenger seat that was just way too inviting for my plump arse to resist.

First impressions - and I sh!t you not - this thing is LOUD. Even when idling it sounds like a stampede of horny elephants on steroids is about to break loose from under that bonnet. The exhaust note itself though is simply sublime - the Tubi really brings out the character of the car. It's progressive and (relatively) subdued at idle - but still, and ALWAYS, loud - of coure that is you until hit the gas which is when the symphony wakes up and the entire vehicle just slams you with incredible sensations thanks to the mechanical cacophany of bestial noise and the grin-inducing nasueating acceleration.

We took off towards the M32 out from Bristol and though it was pretty busy there were suffcient pockets of space to flex that V12, with one particularly memorable run up an empty uphill motorway sliproad, where in a short stretch of tarmac we saw some, errr, "significant" speed (70mph limit officer).

I am in awe of the Lambo (with its FANTASTIC colour combo), and Tuan is a genuinely nice bloke to whom I now owe a barrel-full of beer and who is the cause of many a motoring endorphin currently racing around in my insomniac head (thanks again!!).

A pic of the car on my street...



...and a short video clip of the car on the Scuderia Systems website here (third one down).

Tuan, you HAVE GOT TO take it to V-Max!!

It was my pleasure Rudi, it's always good fun to "Murci" someone...

Anybody spot the obligatory Pistonheads sticker in the windscreen?!!??!

Lucky bugger, I haven't heard it yet!

Love the video, the bit on the sliproad is hilarious "Jesus" I know that feeling!

Few of us are fit to mix it's drinks.

Little, if anything, comes within several light years...
