What are people up to, this fine weekend?

No big plans for tonight - BBQ on the balcony, glass of wine and hopefully, if God wills it, some quality time.

Saturday my little bro's coming over to introduce his new (and first) missus.
Haven't decided yet whether to behave my self or to tell her lots of storries about what a cunt of a kid he was...

And finally, the peak of my weekend, travelling 180 km to pick up new car!

scuderia or normal 430? also the aston was a bit of a letdown on the track. obviously it's more of a gt car and sounded gorgeous, but the gear changes were slow and it felt a bit lardy.

no doubt you'll have fun though. it's one of those bucket list things ticked off

Was big into mountain biking when I was younger so trying to get back into it. Therefore will be Cannock Chase on Sunday to hire something (before eventually buying) and have a go at riding a bike, they say you never loose it

That'd have to be the 911 and GTR for me. Which ones are you choosing?

I'm not sure tbh, just says f430. Think there's a 360 as well but it does say it depends on fleet availability.

Aye will be fun no doubt, mrs got it for my birthday.

Ive drove a GTR on some back roads so that box is ticked.

Quite fancy either 997TT or R8 or Gallardo (assume they will all be similar drive!) and a Ferrari again to tick a box.

With the fear of getting flamed, yes, we're getting a Pewter grey one.

This one:

Mega cool car, looks a lot better in that shot than the first white image you showed us - iirc I said the alloys make the car look a basic spec model even though it was top spec.

To be honest, that shot is from the only really good angle. Opposite corner does look a bit strange...

The drive is great though and can't think of a single (realistic) thing I'd want in a car, that it doesn't offer. Built in sat nav perhaps...
