The CLK DTM was probably the best car round the track to be honest, we all came to a mutual agreement that the balancing, grip and power were amazing! Compared to the carrera gt it felt like a safe and very quick track car.. Whereas carrera gt likes to bite.. did a total 360 in the GT which was quite scary but funny afterwards!! DTM was well worth the money!

Yea there was talk of a Zonda F instead of the Carrera GT but we shall see! My dad loves Zondas so probably wont be long. Watch this space!!

We were in Southampton for the boat show, don't that often go to Southampton but always go to London so never too far away!

A fine collection you have there, a GT3, GT2 and a CGT clearly a family with very good taste.

At which corner did you spin the GT? I lost my GT2 a few times coming out of the hairpin at Mallory.
All good fun.

hi there guys! this is my first time here so be gentle with me!!!i was with ed at mallory and it was such a mad day as you can proberly guess by the photo of the line up.
i was also with ed when he spun the carrera gt which i managed to get on video, although i wouldnt know how to send it to you guys, but the biggest thing to come out of the day for me was that i am now a converted porsche fan! ed will tell you how much i hated them before that day and would always argue that any ferrari was a far better drivers car (how wrong was i)i can now say that when the euro numbers come in i will be detouring to the porsche dearlership to haggle the price of a GT3, before then going to Greypaul Ferrari to order my F430, i've already said this once but thanks ed mate to you chris and julia for the most amazing day.

P.S bring on donnington

I lost it coming into 'The Esses' just after the fast straight, let off the gas a bit too much which flicked the tail around, knife edge car!

So, apart from Rich1321 and safetystop who else will be at Duxford tonight? How will I recognise the two of you? Will you have a thistle in your button-hole and a copy of the Daily Sport under your arm (or is it meant to be a carnation and The Times?)
