Out for a run with friends around some excellent Scottish A and B roads in beautiful sunshine and then tucked away with her new family.

A lot of nice motors judging from his my garage listing in his profile.
That lot must make for some difficult decisions, shall I take the Ferrari, the Lambo the Porsche or the TVR.
First world problems and all that.

I also really hope that you enjoy it.

I got an early GT4 and haven't looked back.

As a matter of interest I'm currently waxing lyrical over the sweetest 996 GT3 MkI CS -- RHD. I should imagine that the driving experience is quite similar ... if at a slightly less incriminating pace ...

Manual Murcielago LP640 about to hit 180mph at a race the runway event.
Manual Ferrari F430 tearing it up round Knockhill.
TVR Sagaris about to blast up the rest and be thankful hill climb.
The 911R out for a blast on some country roads.

All awesome in their own right but for the four uses above I would suggest that the 911R is the only one that would be first of second choice for each one.

Must be a Scottish thing as I know the other Glasgow one was out at the weekend and FootSoldier will definitely drive his based on the mileage he put on the 918 last year.

We need to get all the Scottish ones together next summer, including Dario's. Maybe at Knockhill and we can take turns at trying to keep up with him.

I had to do a double-take of that Martini liveried 991 - thought it was the Swedish one I saw at DN16 the other week:



Nice selection you have in the garage there! How on earth do you choose, is there some sort of dartboard system?!

Yep, will be out a lot!
Not into keeping them in a garage...

My 918 miles since last year. Track days, runways, autobhans and commuting...

It's on the boat! I'm collecting it on 24th.

Hope you make it back soon to pick yours up,..the waiting is bad enough for me, without it actually being here!

Did you get a black one...?

Looking good and full Doom spec!
Yes, mine is white with blue stripes to match 918. Same interior as yours.
(My car has also shipped without the custom stripes, but hopefully they'll be here in next couple of weeks, before I collect)
