Who Am I...


...to review these kind of cars when I only spent just a few hours driving them around a track.

 Aston was weighty, it rolls on the corners and has minimal acceleration. If you have some spare cash, don't buy one.

The 360 was an animal, not as much of a animal as I anticipated as the infamous 3.6 V8 did not quite live up to the reputation I though it had. None the less, it was lots fun.

Surprisingly the GT3 was the easiest to handle with the acceleration much more vicious than what I would assume, this gets my vote so far.

The Gallardo was sublime, frighteningly easy to handle it felt like an R8 with much more go! To feel the ferocity of V10 was like nothing I have ever experienced in a production car. The satisfaction of speed with such a beautifully designed car had me grinning with a frown and the driving instructor screaming brake, Brake, BRAKE!!  It has left me itching to drive a Murcielago/Aventador.

Until then...      
Dad, I promise I wont go above 70!

Yeah I was lucky enough to drive them. Lucky enough to have driven quite a selection of high performance cars. I've also been on the 911 Experience, where I had the oppertunity to learn how to drive rear wheel drive cars properly :D was too much fun. Plus it was around silverstone.

Also my Dad has a Turbo S and an R8that I can OCCASIONALLY drive. Lucky dude.

Tasteless??

C'mon dude, the design work of some of these cars is some of the gratest artwork know to man!

Da Vinci is rolling in his grave, like - why the hell didnt I think of a Lamborghini.

Did you ever see the design process for the Audi R8?

What am I doing driving them, 0-60 in 4 seconds is a big rush. Especially when its down the A470 ;)
