It is great to see my article in print and has cheered me up on what otherwise has been a really crap day.

Thanks,

Nice article, Jan. Well done.

I notice my Gallardo has more miles on it than your Diablo. You need to remedy that.

I'm planning a road trip to the factory for next year. I think you should sign up!

"It truly is hard core."

I bet!

And a great colour too . . . Mental machinery.

I love the Countach and for me the Diablo is in the Gandini-masterpiece top5, stylingwise. Soundwise it's the best version of Bizzi's V12 . . . bow IMO.

Hi Mike, sorry it's taken so long to get your 2nd entry up, but we had a major techie holdup in August. We'll get back to normal service soon. And now I have a car that enjoys track days, please let me know about any more airfield days as last weekend looked awesome!

Just read your article. Good on you for taking a risk and buying the Diablo. Admire that. Wouldn't do it myself. Did contemplate it when I sold my house though.

David, I just submitted a form on the 'become a writer' page. I hope that it is good and I get selected. If I don't get selected and there are any tips/advice you could give me about my writing style that would be great. I think its good though.

I don`t even know what Ford Fair is and I would be a bit worried if the Diablo was beaten by a Fiesta? !

It was a show held at Silverstone, and there was a Lambo with Furball graphics on - must be somebody else!

There was a 0-60 strip, where the lambo got done by the Fiesta which ran a 3.5 second 0 - 60 if I remember correctly

I can see why you're in this forum with performance like that.
