Good piece Yeti, a fair apraisal.
I have had my QP sport since 07 and have had the pleasure of various GTSs on regular occasions since. Definately not the scalpel sharp full on Ferrari experience, more a more cultured driver considerate experience with the power perfectly matched to the chassis.
The gearbox in my Cali is faster, smoother, less prone to wear but takes no driver effort to perfect whereas the box in the GTS needs mental lift off to smooth out the changes and makes it more fun, more rewarding and more demanding. Much preferred.

Plus the Cali is always eager to play, sometimes too eager meaning you have to concentrate if you want to tootle whereas the GTS has a perfectly balanced tootle mode that makes it more car to more people.

Mrs N has opted for a soak in the tub so it looks like a lads' Top Gear telly session. Looking forward to seeing the Pagani Hyuwarararara on the track.

Dem, it's still on (just).

Mr Cambio, it'll be on BiTorrent very soon.

If you're not familiar with that particular technology, PM me. I'm sure that I'll be able to direct you to a suitable resource <nudge nudge, wink wink>

Yeah, have to agree.....it gets a 5/10......JCs car thingie was twice as long as it should have been.

They've done Pagani to death.

James looking scared going at speed ...old hat.

Star in a car....over egged the pudding a big.........................would have been much more interesting if it had been his brother!!!!!

My 11 year old thought it was great.... I guess that school children are the target demographic

Sad to say, but I found it quite boring...
looking at the line up for the coming shows doesn't inspire me much either!

What a let down. I've skipped the star in the car part for some time now as I find it pointless and boring. If I'd known that the nonsense at the end was going to go on for so long I would have switched off. The programme should have been half an hour long and without those 2 'features' IMO. Very sad that its going this way, but I'm sure I'll keep on watching for the time being.

I actually drifted off half way through it. Another 5/10 here too.

Did I spy a Stradale on the montage?
