Morning all, morning Andy.

Very jealous, mind you Rachel and I are off to see Duran Duran in Verona Coleseum in a couple of weeks, flights, hotel for the night and gig tickets, £190 each, rude not to and a cheap excuse to visit the stunning Verona again.

Day off today, more GS fettling and a haircut.

That seems a very good price Matt.....Duran Duran not my cup of tea but I did buy Andy Taylors, the guitarists solo LP way back...He turned into a bit of a rocker. Flying at 12 into Venice airport a short 20 minute drive to Lido and then 10 days of great food and wine.

Have a great holiday, Andy. The Lido's a lot of fun. We had a stopover there for a few days during a Eurotour a few years back. Pre-Maser, but arriving by car, even Disco, felt great. Enjoy!

Good morning from beautiful Stockholm. It's a highly diverse week, from customers to lawyers, to marketing types with big and glorious plans to sales teams and all kind of adventures. Even managed time to treat myself to a new watch yesterday. Not an area I have much luck in - they tend to break, sometimes all by themselves. Hopefully this one will last a bit longer. Right, better get my ar5e out of bed and do some work.

Have a great day, all.

Yes I have a very varied taste Andy. Love my 70's/80's Rock and metal as I know you do but new wave romantic and goth like Placebo but anything dark like Faithless and Massive Attack too. Simple Minds probably being my all round favourite.

Morning All,
Awake since 5 tossing and turning contemplating writing a 5hitagram email pointing out to my employers how their processes are broken and management of change is non existent.
Anyway, have a good one,
Dave

Morning all. One of those long exciting car journey's for me today. Lift to MK station & train to Chester to look at & hopefully buy another car to add to the collection. It is pretty rare & will be a life keeper if it is as good as I hope it will be.

I blame Phil as have 6 so this will make 7 with 4 of them V8's! I sold the E55K yesterday but took a 2013 Focus ST-3 back in return. I really need to sell a couple now!

Not driven anything like this since I had my GTi6 probably 18 years ago! Interesting thing torque steer...still find it funny that cars like this want to stick you in the hedge or into oncoming traffic under hard acceleration!!

Looking forward to a long drive back in a very special car. Just hoping my one way train ticket is correct & I won't need to but the return ;)

Morning all. Another day in the smoke for me too. Escaping home by train later which makes the prospect of another day of meetings and strident discussion bearable.

Holidays and track days... Enjoy!

Good morning everyone. Copenhagen is sunny, but I look forward to my own bed tonight.

Morning all - this talk of holidays is getting me very jealous. The dog sitting is the issue, if anyone fancies staying in a rural Lincolnshire farmhouse for a few days then let me know. I'll leave the keys for the GTS but you'll have 15 dogs to look after!

Have a great time Andy and maybe see you at Silverstone for the GT4 race when you get back?

Morning all. Just got to a meeting at Heathrow. That had just finished.
Three and a half hours to do a (normally) 1 hour 15 minutes journey. What a joke the M25 is!

Now I have to loiter around for two hours before my next meeting.
At least I know I'll be early!

So what you buying Deano?

Good morning . I took the 42 out for a pre Le Mans test drive across the contryside yesterday to test out how offensive the exhaut now is .
In the space of an hour I had:
2 people shout at me as i drove past .
1 put his hands over his ears in a village
Three people told me how awsome it sounded .
Oh and a child literaly jumped up and down when i let his sit in it and rev it in a pub car park .


Can you imagine what a French peasant will think of it in his 2CV?

Id say that a big tick for the YES vote!

Almost tempting!
Shame I'm away for the GT4. Close proximity to the circuit is helpful for a day out. Enjoy.
