No worries Brendan, glad you enjoyed it and it was great to finally meet you properly
And you didn't annoy me at all mate ... I was probably just having to concentrate a little more than usual having to use a clutch and all that

lovely hum out of this when he gave it the beans around the roundabout outside the hotel....i reckon it's the new NSX....!!!!Originally Posted by miller
still the fastes irish reg VR4 on the nurburgring,april 2010.
Ooh the Lexus LFA - £250k of pumping Toyota
Finally comes out next year and it must be good cos the chief test driver is buying two !!!
Hats off to Lexus if they think they can flog a Ferrari rival for more money - no doubt the yanks will snatch it up.
Saying it looks like the GTR is such an insult - like saying the VR4 looks like a Stagea
That's one of the 'side effects' of going to the Ring you get to see a fair few development cars.

Okay folks heres the maths and costs breakdown for me
The total trip cost me £86.30 per lap of the ring all inclusive.
I managed an average of 22.67mpg to and from the ring. Acceptable as i spent a bit porshe hunting on the Autobahns
I managed an average of 5.78mpg on the ring. 117.88 litres of fuel per 12 laps . (roughly)
I drove a total of 1285miles, of which 150miles were on the Nordshleife!
So i can conclude, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, ate steaks every night, wasnt overly cost conscious, one BIG night on the beer (75% cost not included in my sums), andrenaline pumping driving....banter.....manouveres.......
its
PRICELESS
So you enjoyed yourself did ye.Originally Posted by miller
