One of my best mates back home used to race against that actual car when it was Lowndes' steer. There is nothing like being in an actual race car vs a track car. They're completely different things, they just look similar to a road carsMarky911 said:Great thread! 8)
Infra I'm jealous. Performante is my current favourite lottery win car.
Kris the 997 Cup sounds like a treat.
Squelch great post. You've just summed up exactly how a proper racing car smells and feels.
My mate Andy had an ex-BTCC 306 then moved on to this Ford Falcon ex Australian touring car.
He occasionally puts a passenger seat in it for pre-season track days. Same thing applies, touch nothing and strap your feet down so you don't kick the ecu to bits.
The smell, the noise, everything. Even from the pax seat I'm scared. :grin:
Here it is at Goodwood FOS -

Road car wise - Anything driven by someone who can pedal properly. I've had memorable rides/drives in all models of GT3s, 430 Scud, 458, Caterham R500.
My old Global was pretty good when it worked.
Anyway great thread. Keep the pics coming.
I've a feeling the winner is Poppopbangbang if he sees this thread. :grin:
Edited to add - Alex, if one of your stories doesn't ever involve downing a pint before or after any given activity, I'll think someone's hacked your account. :grin:
Sounds like fun times though. Those Lambo's are big old bruisers. :thumb:
