Looks Brilliant!

Feels weird watching you go into Bus Stop the wrong way...

Ring lap is good also. That Porsche guy was all over the shop.

It was fun for me to watch just on here with the volume up let alone actually piloting Satans own chariot around there for real, top stuff!

Is the Diablo a new addition to your fleet then?

Phil snapped by our man DutchBert:




Working hard.


that's Gracee at the wheel.




Class shot!

Mine will be done with 1/100 sec, with a bit of blur then as in the F1's.

Well done Bert, top ones! Come over this thursday mate, and join me for beers and some photobucket lessons. PM if you can make it.

Here's John's lap with me in the Diablo at the Nordschleife

It's about 9:03 BTG.
Now that does look like fun!! biggrin
If a bit slow...

Just kidding. It was good to see an older Lambo there. The current crop, especially Gallardos seem to get driven, but in 7 years I have seen only a few Diablos or Countachs there, and most of them toured the carpark, never venturing onto the track.

Whilst someone else had clearly found the going tough

.....A red Morgan made a bid for the inside line and drew alongside me. "Not so fast sunshine...." In the meantime, the XJ12 was coming back on to the circuit on my left. And there ensued a three abreast drag race down the hill into Eau Rouge. The Big Healey did the business and with my right foot wedged against the floor I pulled ahead 3rd, 4th, Overdrive 4th. I dropped the Morgan then got the corner from the XJ12 by barely dabbing the brakes, flicking out of Overdrive and firing the Healey up Eau Rouge. Lesson administered, the Jags didn't trouble me again...
Phil i've a cracking shot of that just as the Jag re-joinedd the track. It was a very close encounter ! Just as well that the Healey isn't a wide car hehe Will start sorting out the pictures tonight.

Just got back from Spa this afternoon. It was great to meet you Rene, at least you weren't ill after your passenger lap unlike the OP...vomitwink.

Seriously Dink, I didn't realise that was your first time (on any track?), or I would have been gentler with you! (Probably not actually)

That was one of the most fun driving trips I've been on; The Beast was utterly awesome both at the Nordschleife and at Spa the next day.

Put it this way, I was a guest in Guillotine's group of 20+ TVR owners and I think they were all fans of the Z06 by the end of the trip; there was a never-ending queue of people lining up for passenger laps and they all left the car either blown away or feeling quite ill due to extreme "g" or both!

Phil bought that picture of me so I suspect you can get it of him rather than buying it of me again.
Although you are welcome to do so biggrin
