Just found this. That F40 took a bit of mussel to get it through the field.

Here's another one for you Bondy. This guy can certainly pedal, and you just have to love the craziness of Italian track days....you won't love the car though wink

I'm sure there are forums for people into watches. This is a car forum and not for watch lovers. Lol

Also, you know, probably could be skill and practice. And tiny feet.

Should always match engine speed to gears when coming into a corner as it keeps the car balanced. Modern boxes do it for you now.

Is a good vid but nothing like the one I put up as they have footage from everyone's perspective. I think its a japanese Top Gear kind of show?

Had to work hard to pass that GTR

I was thinking that must be a test day looking at the other cars on-track. But the fact the driver has no gloves, sleeves rolled up and is listening to the radio makes me think your right, it is a track day yikes

Not a track day for Simon though, don't think there is a horn manufactured that would be loud enough for him hehe

Maybe this could be the answer biggrin

Never seen the pull in fancy watches, it's a bit like buying a porche as as status symbol. Lol

Study's symbol watches are for footballers and chavs, most good watches are not status symbols

Each to their own. I can't stand wearing a watch personally.

Ha ha, wasn't a dig at you Rob as you apricieate the engineering that's gone into it. Other people just by it cause it's Porsche and carries a status.
