  1. it was 4 laps (not of the whole circuit, just part of the circuit, around 2 miles per lap), in each car, no idea how long each lap took cos when ur having that much fun u have no concept of time- at all! lol makes no financial sense at all mate but id happily do it again for another 200 big ones
  2. lol dont remember that. had a feeling the pics would be average- they left the zeds at the back and the photographers stayed up front
  3. lol nice one, did the pics turn out well? will grab a copy when im out for jay's return
  4. ....and this is wot u get lol http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/News/Searc ... show-2009/
  5. offend ur taste lol most crossovers offend my taste too mate- hate the merc cls, despise that 5 series GT cos they wanna be more things than theyre capable of and are ugly the X6 makes no logical sens at all and i wasnt looking fwd to seeing it on the road... but its gorgeous!! lol guilty pleasure i suppose?
  6. u guys dont like the X6M?? if someone offered to a swap for the zed id take that in a second! and theres not many cars i could say that for lol its a monster in real life i love it the drive in the ferrari was over very quickly but as soon as uv taken the 1st corner u realise that its a very very capable car! handles very well and acceleration was unreal oh and they said that these driving experience packages will have a lot of special offers soon cos of the media attention at F1 moving to donnington park, so expect reductions in the near future to get the crowds back in
  7. booked the ferrari experience package a month or 2 ago at silverstone and on sunday the wait was over the package included 4 laps in a lotus exige, 4 laps in a ferrari 360 modena and another lap in the passenger seat of a lotus exige s with a pro driver... was lookin fwd to it for ages and it didnt disappoint! some ppl say im mad to spend £200 in a few hrs but it was worth every penny it was more track orientated- correct racing lines and diff parts to each corner etc. the exige was amazing but the ferrari is just out of this world. V8 sounds gorgeous and its so comfortable, the 1st 3 gears were used just getting out of the pits and onto the track, after that i didnt get below 4th but even then the acceleration is unreal, wish i got to hammer it from a standing start tho! only thing that i didnt like was it was too quick and i didnt get to savour the moment lol- as soon as i was strapped in i was told to head onto the track and get my mind into racing mode, didnt even check out the interior properly and dont think i even noticed the horse on the steering wheel! and cos i had to concentrate the whole time it was over as soon as it started and i didnt even check how fast i was going lol but an amazing but of machinery and with prices for used 360s under £40k i think its on my wish list lol then i was in the passenger seat with a guy who didnt know wot brakes were, that was an experience! lol £200 well spent, cant recommend it enough, il def be going back in the future! anyway enough mumbo jumbo, heres some pics (didnt get a video sorry!) started off in manchester and noticed some new cars on the way the i hadnt seen before, and even went to the ferrari showroom to get me in the mood BMW X6M Jag XF-R aston V12 Vantage... even spotted bumblebee hiding in a manchester dealership the new california in the ferrari showroom (gorgeous in the flesh, pics dont to it justice) got to silverstone the next day and the experience centre is sponsored by nissan, thought our members would appreciate this... the lotus exige for our warm up, think they used paul t's painter and most importantly the ferraris... an amazing weekend guys, cant recommend it enough! if u have a spare £200 and want to treat urself then theres not many better ways than this, the have different packages with other cars also but think this package is the pick out the bunch, not everyone can claim to have driven a ferrari!
  8. why was wesley snipes not watching where he was going tho lol, bet he tried to fall on her

  21. lol nice... when we were in oz a few yrs back we had to settle for a 3.6 V6 holden commodore... but we werent complaining cos we had been promised a hyundai getz that didnt get back on time!
  22. lol i dont think the front ends too bad apparently theres a coupe version coming also, some sites report it to be called a calibra but i thought the old calibra was based on a cavalier chassis rather than an astra?
