Forget about all that Ferrari nonsense!

You are so wrong. I test drove the 4 door Aston before settling on the Maserati. Thing kept 'grounding out' on country lanes and the seating position is pants. The centre consol is up round your neck. Awful! besides all Astons break down for one reason or another! Sorry but looks outside aint always everything!

I had the Gran Tourismo in silver with black leather with a red trim. It sure was a looker! but with my back not easy to get in and out of. In answer to your other question - my body is buggered so need a career change. The Maserati is a fraction of the cost of Ferrari but still has a Ferrari engine. Mind you there are some ugly MAssers though that look like rovers :lol: The Gran tourismo looks like a sports car though

I also got rid of it to do my bit for the environment. I went from a 4.7 in the Maser to a 5.0 in the Range Rover :lol: :lol:

You don't know how lucky you are back in the uk. They are so cheap compared to here. A mini costs 100k USD here. Ferrari your looking at 700k for big standard. I always enjoy racing them on my Honda wave 100 through the streets of bkk. There is only ever one winner.

Now Steven1976 you now move me on to another subject that I like - bikes. This is going to sound really corny after what I said about the Maserati, but although fast the masser never gave the same thrill as my busa's, 999S, R1 or even my old ZX9R (ah! those were the days). But then again you cant really have a conversation on a bike :lol:

First race went off 20 mins late, which was not helpful.

How is everyone finding it today?

Having a bad day here, seems to be a bias in the market for favourites either being backed or, staying within narrow range.

Hi
Didn't do bad today; only lost on four races out of 16, and the losses on three of those were<£5..
About an average day overall
not too keen on the evening races, so may call it a day now
Regards
Peter

Get this constant feeling that something is just desperate to push the favourite out 3 mins before the off no matter what you throw at it.

I also have that "I want to throw my toys out of the pram" feeling when I see the big meetings delayed.

The flow of money is so disjointed.
