Yeah If a lottery win happens then I would probably get the V6 Bi-turbo cloverleaf... Stunning car, it was attracting more attention than the Ferrari's.

Think they have a "Ferrari-derived" engine in them. Or the high-end model does.

D your right I believe it's a bi turbo v6 based on the bi turbo v8 in the Ferrari California.
@Stonsies there is one on eBay for 20 odd K

That one is a write off, category S but to write off a £65K car takes a lot, I would want a proper inspection if I was in a position to buy....
Also just been on the internet and I found THIS

Re: What are you doing today ??
Ta very much, the scenery was spectacular. Wish I’d had more time to take more but had to crack on to keep up with the guys who were cycling.
One of these days I’ll get my bike out for a day away and I can be a bit more leisurely.

Re: What are you doing today ??
Just been asked by a colleague to review liability on a case.
FFS some bikers are dumb. Overtaking at an A Road crossroads is bad enough, but there's white chevrons, red paint on the road to warn of the danger and 3 cars stopped at the junction to turn.
Is it any wonder the Welsh policed are out in force on the weekends?

Re: What are you doing today ??
I nearly got taken out by a biker on Saturday. He thought it OK to overtake me on the exit of a roundabout, in my blind spot and went right inside of me against the kerb. I only realised he was there at the last moment because i heard his bike. Complete and utter dick.

I used that phrase to a van driver who got "rather excited" when I carved past him commuting.Cav wrote:Rubbing is racing - don't you know thatduke63 wrote:I nearly got taken out by a biker on Saturday.

Complete and utter dick.
He actually got out of his van & waddled to the front of the queue where I was waiting for the lights to change.
He looked dumbfounded & confused, so I followed it with; "ok, sorry then mate"
At which point the lights changed & I left him standing there looking like he was about to burst.

Re: What are you doing today ??
Went for a quick blast tonight and I'm fed up of people on my side of the road going in the wrong direction. It happens multiple times, every time I go out.
Worst tonight was a pack of about 12 bikers all racing each other who thought it fair game to use both side of the road, approaching on coming traffic in tree lined area of a fast road meaning reduced visibility. Dickheads should know better.
