Anyone going to the AMV8 launch party on October the 8th?

Unrelated to topic but very fun:

Family hired out Malory Park yesterday, had an awesome day! Spun the Carrera GT, no damage though! Had a good line up:

DB9, Murcielago Roadster, Carrera GT, GT2, GT3, CLK DTM, 575m. Talk about an amazing M1 convoy! Would post a pik but too stupid and don't know how to.

Not filthy stinking rich just got enough to own the cars.. Not a big family, only four of us. It's just our hobby i guess... Like i said i have picture proof for all of them but it's up to you whether u believe or not :P i know its a tall claim but hey.

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.


Cheers stin!! hehe,

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!
