What did you do with your Challenge Stradale today?

[nigelonich]

I took mine with its new paint to Mallaig on the 'road to the isles' A830 then had breakfast in Arisaig.

Stopped at Morar to take this by the silver sands.

Do you prefer it without a stripe?

[nigelonich]

I just don't like the stripe to be honest but I can understand why some people consider it a must.

Agreed….these cars are sufficiently 'in yer face' (especially when you hit the loud pedal) without the stripes. Perhaps if I was nearer 40 than 60 I'd see it differently!

Stunning looking cars - with or without stripes….

Starting to think I am the only one driving mine?

Probably the only one with a decent playground to use it in!

I have the week off work to enjoy my F430 but I just can't be arsed. Lorries and tractors everywhere here. I'm envious!

How very true is this!!!

Went out in the Scud on Sunday for a blast to a biker cafe I know in Hampshire - very different experience on the back roads to the bike, tailbacks behind trucks and all sorts made for quite a frustrating drive. Bit like being on a hot date night promise with Olivia Wilde only to find out it's THAT time of the month again so hands off!!!

Just had to do more Euro trips I guess...

[nigelonich]

The roads that I like to use on the west coast of Scotland are generally rammed with tourist related traffic at the moment and have been very wet too but I tend to wait until early evening and they become very quiet. However, this brings about its own problems too.

Ring booked for the end of September so the R26.R awaits for that one.

we spent the morning in the Brecon Beacons....

[Car Mad Dave]

Not quite today but a few weeks back I did a quick run from Newcastle to Prague, now pottering around Central Europe until back in the UK. they were built to be driven!

[nigelonich]

Now we are talking!

Nice blast over Ashdown forest this morning, avoiding (and waking up) sheep, cows and MAMILs!
