dan williams Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Oh I'm paying for it but what the hell. I think it's a 991. That'll be our warmup car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ham2 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I know someone....who has one of the last 997 GT3RS models from a couple of years ago and has been offered mad money for it , I mean mental money, it's tripled in value so it's currently worth more than the sticker price of the other road-rockets you're going to be sampling. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan williams Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) Ok just couldn't get to grips with the Porsche. Weird shifter setup. I kept blowing shifts and turning the wipers and turn signals on. Instructor must have thought I was hopeless. I was relieved to see Linda screaming down the front straight with her blinker on too. Wasn't just me. Next was the McLaren and we just clicked. Lap after lap of neatly apexed corners. The instructor said, "That was excellent. You should drive the GT car. You can handle it." Phew, reputation recovered. I was going so fast in the McLaren I passed somebody driving the 430 Ferrari twice in five laps of a 1.2 mi track. Next the Aventador. Massive power but compared to the McLaren it wallowed through the corners like a moose on steroids. Wife did good though she came down with the flu right after we got here. Now I've got it. She wasn't sure about the Porsche, liked the Merc and ran off the track in the Hurrican. Then had to hurl when we got back to the hotel. Give her credit though for driving a 600 HP monster while sick as a dog. Edited April 7, 2015 by dan williams 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
