Quattroporte in the New Forest

[maserati]

Andy,

The day was challenging but nonetheless successful. In the tight turns particularly out of the chicane the QP was handicapped by its gross vehicle weight and long wheel base. That said on faster sections I was able to reach speeds topping 100 mph. This was enough to provide passengers with some entertainment. My wife Carole was also a front seat fee paying passenger with Matt on one occasion. Apparently she remained uncharacteristicaly quiet during the drive. Now the event is over I have since been stroking the full length of her hair in a gentle and soothing motion. It seems to be working and she should be fine in about six months! Ha ha, He he he!

Paul, hows the wife? Not too traumatised?

I was giving it some stick with poor Carole in the passenger seat.....she knew this when going over the rise into Tower, when I said **** before she did as the GS went sideways and we lost any grip we might of had.

Terrific day at the track....I did see you in the middle lane as I went past you at 125 [and waved] (middle lane is a part of Castle Coombe circuit, he he)

Really glad the past annum has been a good one for you, long may it continue!...and you still have the title of INTERNATIONAL PLAYBOY title under your belt!

DougieV8 - You're welcome and thank you. Matt - Carole is of course fine. Thank you. Yes I did see you pass me on the motorway and given the blurred images for a moment I thought that I was being overtaken by the star ship Enterprise! I also caught the sonic boom and as soon as I had finished shaking I went to the dentist to have all my fillings re-packed! ........... International Playboy........Yes that title does have a certain ring to it! .......He he he!

Best wishes,

Paul
