Learning about the GT
Discussion
So, I'd had the GT for 6 days. I'd been out in the dry the first day I picked it up, and on the Sunday in the pouring rain, all with the number one passenger of choice warning me of impending removal of the side of my car, due to an on coming van, because of LHD road positioning errors. So, how to get more of a feel for the car?
Ferry to Denmark with AdrianW, 2 track-days with passengers, and 1,000 miles should do it! After half rebuilding Adrian's car in front of the hotel in Denmark, off to the first track-day we went, along with :-
Gembella Mirage CGT. Fast (but peddled badly as I kept up in the GT without trying too much). Didn't sound as good as a standard CGT to be honest.
LP640. Fast and really does sound great. Best sounding car of the day.
Yawn.
Nice sound. Didn't take that long before it ended up in the sand....
Adrian with another victim. Fastest around the track (if you hadn't guessed
)
Nice.
Pretty. Driver might look like Dr Evil, but he was a really nice chap (my neighbour in the pits).
Classic machine in the future.
I had some fun too.

Excellent!
For a minute, with the first pic, I thought you'd bought a Carrera GT too!
Well, funny you should say that. I am looking at another car, but it'll surprise you all if I get it. It's British and sadly for my bank balance, as usual, not cheap For a minute, with the first pic, I thought you'd bought a Carrera GT too!

Great stuff, looks like an awesome day out for all. Love the 640
