  1. Heard quite good things about Karting Nord so I'm hoping I'll have a good spot when I go back down in, oooh, less than three weeks for the Classic You were damn lucky not to get pulled if you were pressing on, one of our guys in the Diablo got stopped and had to lend 'les flics' one of his spare licences :D
  2. Which one in particular? the most dangerous is the "No Fat Chicks" no entry sign :D Jon - nope, done the Giallo ... red from here on in unless maybe if I move to a 550 in a couple of years, Grigio Titanium with burgundy leather ... only maybe mind You keeping well? Still got the R8?
  3. Ok ... how do i get the pics to display normally? ah ... got it!
  4. Yeah, those lights caused us to think for a while until we figured it was the Avante that we had seen at Calais! And yes, the quotation is indeed "24HRS sur le piss!"
  5. Came across on the return tunnel with us yesterday and had a nice steady run up the A1. We were in the "Race? ... What Race? Ferrari with my co-pilot StuB kindly doing all the hard work whilst I just sat back and enjoyed the ride. Hope you had a good Le Mans
  6. That's not a bad price. Over here there is a mint 930 Turbo ('83) with 63k miles on the clock for £20,500, which i guess is around $36-37k. However, with that little mileage you may have problems with dried out seals and all sorts, especially if it has been standing for a long time. al
  7. When they used a Tuscan in Swordfish Mr Travolta was first to put his name down for when they eventually hit the States, if ever ... he loved it! I would love to return to TVR but will not get a Tuscan until I can be sure of the engine. Truly awesome cars though and lets hope under Russian ownership they just get better and better without losing the outgageous, totally unpractical style that we know and love.

  8. From a 348 perspective, or mine anyway... Services are generally around £600, except for the engine out service and belt change every 3 years or 30k miles which as Steve said is about £1500 inde or £2k main dealer. Pirelli P-zeros @ £150 each, last about 10k miles as they are pretty soft but very grippy! I had a new clutch last November and it cost £750 all in. That had lasted 25k miles. Use an independent that will fix things or replace component parts instead of just banging a whole new unit in at full cost! Don't get a limited mileage policy cos you'll want to drive the damn thing ALL THE TIME! Mine is £900 for me and wife, unlimited mileage. The cost pales into insignificance though when you turn the key and let the clutch out.
  9. [ QUOTE ] I wouldn't worry about the debris as Ferrari drivers don't go out unless the weather is excellent . [/ QUOTE ] ahem!
  10. [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Here's mine... er, again [/ QUOTE ] I do really like that What would the first number of your asking price be, if I may ask burriana? [/ QUOTE ] Don't mind you asking at all Mollox - it's up for sale. As Jon has kindly pointed you in the direction of the ad you'll know I'm looking for a smidge over £30k. If I had been sensible and sold it in June, I would have got £36k for it, Jas paid £40k for his around July time, but I was stupid and took it down to Spain (which I wouldn't have missed for the world). The car is seriously well priced as I have a property in Spain coming up for completion pretty soon and need to clear the financial decks for a while. Make no mistake - the car's a belter
  11. Like I said on t'other thread - if I still haven't sold the car, I will try and get up there
  12. [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] need to post pictures [/ QUOTE ] I believe that there is a book being set up as to who will manage to post pics first me or you [/ QUOTE ] Blind leading the blind, tho my dough's on SteveF [/ QUOTE ] Dead easy - if i can figure it out anyone can!
  13. You forgetting someone Jon? Lockyer -Insurance Jon TonyH Angelis F355GTS 355fiorano 328GTS TomW Stewart430 AlbertV8 - yes he does indeed have one! Burriana
  14. If I still have the car then i will be there, but don't put me down as I don't want to let anyone down. Just one thing, steer clear of the main Harrogate to Skipton road, great at 7am in the morning but normally a nightmare chocked full of sunday drivers. Lots of great B roads up in the dales though, just stay away from the busy main routes. By the way - can I put in a claim for the SECOND dirtiest car

    Spain

    We were just down the coast near Murcia last weekend - four days absolutely scorching!
  16. I was in my local independent dropping the car off for a service just before the Gumball (or Cannonball, can't remember which!) and suddenly realised i was absent mindedly gazing at, 10 foot up on a ramp, A jag XJ220 ... with it's engine out. Nick then pointed out on another ramp, one of the actual real life movie versions of the Back to the Future De Lorean. It was being prepped for the Cannonball so that all the movie gizmos could be used at once. Apparently, in the movie, they only used one gizmo at a time... so got away with using the cigar lighter socket!!!
  17. It was always the Countach, until I sat in one. Luckily the Testarossa came along, which hopefully I will be trading up to in time for next year's EuroHoon!
  18. [ QUOTE ] Well I'm here, but I don't think this is the place we were looking for guys..... [/ QUOTE ] Don't throw your toys out yet Jas ... I've just been over in the Lounge of Joy (great name) and they seem to be cool guys. Oh sh!t, it wasn't you on the airfield was it? I thought it was Angelis!
  19. Ok Jon - Well, I'm here as requested but cannot find anything that welcomes Ferraris apart from the "welcome F.Chatters" flash at the top? You said they wanted more Ferrari drivers on the forum but from the look of a couple of the previous posts they're none too keen on us. Are we all tarred with the same brush? Quite happy to join in if me AND my car are welcome
