A new Gallardo has just rocked up to join the party!!

Has anyone called the Factory ? The suspense is killing me.

Let's hope they have the webcam on the car.

PS - think I saw Richard in one of the shots .. but could be wrong.

No, go on then, you do it!

[actuary]

Just called.

Me. "Can I speak to Ted or Richard"
Factory. "They are all in Germany".
Me. "Oh, at the Nurburgring ? I can seem them on the WebCam".
Factory. "Yes, the story was unfortunately leaked out"
Me. "Any times in yet ?"
Factory. "No, they only arrived today".
Me. "Is Richard or Ted driving".
Factory. "Not sure"
Me. "Well tell them good luck from us all"

Sounds like the run has yet to be started.

T.

Just zoomed in. I think that was Ted in the white shirt and 3/4 Jeans, and Dave (mechanic) adjusting the wing.

Jeez, I gotta get out more.

Leaked out lol, bit of a pisser that Meaden and Bovingdon from Drivers Republic just happen to be over there with RMA doing trackday stuff then. Do the factory chaps have good experience of the ring does anyone know, I think to set a stonking time there you really need to let an old ringmeister have a crack, course they then don't always know/trust the car so well, so tough call.

Best of luck to all over there

Now could be a good time to kidnap Andy?

[V8OWNER]

Spoke with Ted earlier on his mobile thought he was outdoors, if I had realised I would have asked.

Still not back, but what looks like a nice GT40 sitting there now.
