Congrats. Very, very nice F-car. And I read you have an L-car as well !!!

Makes me feel a bit cheap with a BoxsterS, BMW M3, Mits. EVO 8 MR RS and some motercycles ;-)

Happen to shortly testdrove a F430-spider and a Gallardo Spider on the track just a few weeks ago. One lap with each, directly after eachother. Following a marshall and with a very strick instructor next to me. Liked the F-car much more. Cannot really put arguments to it. It just felt much nicer, balanced, better quality. F1-shift and the shift-levers in F430 are fabulous. Shifts in Lambo are nice as well but the levers ? Let's put it this way, I like the levers on my Playstation Logitech steering wheel better ;-)

Woehahaha, makes me think of the F430 track lap. I went to a corner full throtlle in 2 near rev limiter, instructor yelled "break, break" and I shifted into third, went WOT for another second or so and then breaked hard and steered it into the corner. Instructor reacted nicely and said "ok, you have some track experience, but don't do that again".

Mark.
