Think i'll swing by.

I've invited my mate from Hamilton. He might bring his Ducati 1198 along

I've still never seen your Diablo Mass, will be a good chance to finally have a look.

And your 355 Ross ;)

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

I heard several at Greypaul last week, I presume there's a design quirk that you can only change out of first in a Lambo at the red line? :lol:

I had some on Jock7s recently believing that Lambos were exempt from front number plates <BG>

The car park was pretty impressive too 8)

In the end did not make it :( Daughter had a hangover and the Exige lost a CL6 brake pad on Saturday PM when trying to convert a Jag driver to go for something cheaper and buy a Lotus :shock: Spent today fixing the Exige as it is the daily driver (audi still in the garage :evil: :evil: :evil: ). Thanks again Kinger for the spare pad and Mike/Ali for the offer of Pagid pads.

Was a good turnout. There certainly was a lot of cars in the red corner.
Must admit I thought the Lamborghini Adventador looked pretty special.

At only £299,950, what's stopping you Jim?? Just the colour I guess.

Some lovely cars in the car park too. A fabulous Austin Healey 3000 was parked near us. A couple of Nobles and a very shiny Sagaris in the British corner.

Managed to pop along but couldn't spend long as we had commitments in Edinburgh to meet!

Good to finally see the lambo Mass, thanks for the audio demonstration as well, we'll get a date sorted for a run in the borders before autumn arrives 8)

Sorry I never managed to see Ross and the 355, you'll just have to bring it up to KH on the 15th ;)

Glad I went in the Clio in the end, the access roads were a bit scary at times with oncoming traffic. Hats off to the chaps with the expensive toys for piloting them down those roads!

Erm, I think that was a murcielago. The number plate looks like L13MBO to me, all be it illegally spaced, with a strategic yellow screw cap too, to make it look like LAMBO. :thumbsup

Must brush up on my Supercar recognition, but L13MBO doctored like that would normally be picked up as soon as a cop saw it.

Verian lasted one week when I bought her S111Y TT.
