Angels cry, virgins sacrifice their first borns and mothers cry over war torn sons. Meanwhile, I shed a tear for over an emotional experience with an unforgettable car. LP560 I salute you.
LP560 to Spa and the Nurburgring
The LP560 is more than a competent track tool, despite wrapping you in a world of leather and air con. Although not its main strength, it’s still a strong proposition. However, put it in context and it suddenly becomes a simply brilliant all rounder that has you smiling at every use.
Date with the devil – LP560 bought
I walk into a Lamborghini dealership on a whim and walk out £120K lighter. But oh god what an exchange.
RS Sold
A fitting eulogy to a car still in service, but retired from my employ. I pass the reign of the RS onto the next person.
Buy me – I will make you happy! (RS for sale)
Biting the bullet and I’ll regret it NO DOUBT, but the car wants a new home. My GT3RS is for sale.
Boredom and the car enthusiast – a dangerous combination
Stay out of trouble and trouble won’t find you. Of course, that mantra is not part of my vocabulary, instead I look at ways of blowing an additional £30k.
Why the GT3 rocks my wor……oh shut up, please.
I ponder the options and alternatives of a world without the sanctimonious delirium of Porsche GT3RS ownership. I am pleasantly greeted by a number of choices.
So THAT’S why people buy the turbo cab…!
I never really understood the 911 Turbo in either of its forms. After 10 days with the car, it takes one particularly spectacular day to gain that insight that has entitled it the worlds most useable supercar. 200MPH scalp massage anyone?
911 Turbo Cab – Average speed, 700MPH
I ponder the likelihood of Porsche having installed the improbability drive as we end up launching a 911 Turbo into next week. (read: yeah, it’s fast).
The perfect holiday?
We take two GTR’s and two GT3RS’s across Europe to visit both the Nurburgring and Spa. All in the name of research, of course.
Something for the weekend? Z4 sDrive30i
I hire a Z4 for the weekend and the inevitable Boxster comparisons come up.
What’s up dawg?
By way of a semi apology, I try to justify my absence with a digest of the past three weeks.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
A fabulously atmospheric and realistic depiction of life in the nuclear fall out jungle of Pripyat as a PC FPS game.
The Lovely Bones
Tragedy and Joy mixed with Peter Jacksons trademark concoction of special effects and character development.
Green Zone
Matt Damon in war consipiracy thriller, revolving around the fake Iraqi war.
GT3 RS Gen 2 Driven
At last I’m given free reign with a GT3 RS gen 2 on the race track. I’m desperate to love it, I’m looking for a major reason to buy one – looks alone could define that decision. Are the sum of it’s parts greater than the whole?
