Default PGP Recap

What a good time - at first I was literally the *only* car there. 40 minutes of pure bliss.

A kid with some nice drifting skillz showed in an M5 and I met a nice fellow in a Type 72 Elise who showed just to spectate.

It got really good a little later though as a gentleman with a world class car habit showed up.

In some secret squirrel warehouse he's got an Enzo, an F40, F50 993 TT 3.6 , 512TR, a race only Lotus, a bunch of vintage racecars like a Tipo 33 Alfa and more cool cars that I can't even remember.

Good to see someone with $$$ who is actually driving his cars.

Anyways - he brought a new 16M (Scuderia Spyder) and was kind enough to take me out for a session. Regrettably I only had my BlackBerry for pics but what a brutally fast shifting, hard accelerating car. The wail of that car @ 8500RPM banging through the gears or rev matching on downshifts was intoxicating. Awesome!!!!!!!

Hard to tell - but the interior is all CF and Alcantara



Pizza pan size carbon ceramics...







The morning started with a new very positive development on a job that I'm trying to land and ended with the gas pump offering me a 5 cent/gallon discount if I upgrade to V-Power which I was naturally going to use anyway...

I was feeling pretty lucky so I bought a Lotto ticket, a Powerball and some other damn ticket.

Fingers crossed!

^^^^^^ yes you did.

I was happy I treated the S to a nice wash + claybar treatment when I got home.

Hmmm, there's a dude with a lot of those cars plus a lot of vintage cars up in Magnolia. Now and then he'll "trade" the bling for harder to get cars. Maybe the same guy?!? He has a warehouse full of his toys.

Hey Chris - it's a different guy. I had a little tour of the Magnolia shrine and it was very impressive but the Scud owner is a different guy. They obviously run in the same circles.

psycho art - I completely forgot to ask if you were on the board myself. doh! good seeing you guys out there.

Ya Mikey - it was pretty hard to beat - screaming Ferrari, vtec and sunshine.

So, you didn't get a chance to drive it?!



Nonetheless, that's cool to see people actually drive these cars!




And let me know if you win on your lotto ticket..... I might ask you nicely to pay off my car!

Nahhh... didn't get a chance to drive. Didn't really ask though.

No other pics - too busy driving, riding or bsing.

When you see the 458 in my posts you'll know I've hit the Lotto and we can talk about your loan.
