What a day i had today, as you know i visited Graypaul (will post pics in a while) and met up with Chris (Big Chris) and Andrew (Palmball) was kind enough to take me out for a spin in the Granturismo S!!!! OMG, what a car, the noise is just awesome and the acceleration is immense for a big GT car, blasting through the roads in Loughborough certainly grabbed the attention of the public. Some GS owners have said they dont think the GT S is worth the extra money, after being fortunate enough to have a passenger ride in both, i would say the Granturismo S is definitely worth the extra money, the car just feels so much better in terms of handling, performance and overall quality. Andy also took me for a spin in his other halfs Mini Cooper JCW, pocket rocket, so much fun. Would just like to say, big thanks to Andy for inviting me round and thanks for the beer, look forward to seeing you again. Thanks a million mate.

The Granturismo S is just unbelievable, the noise is spine tingling in sport mode, and the blips on down changes are just immense. So want one now, perfection.

Not usually a fan of Porkers but that Carrera GT in yellow looks great; always love yellow cars but you used to have to be brave to buy one... less os these days as more manufacturers are doing them people seem to be accepting it and not knocking the resale.

Others there are super thanks for the photos Adam...

That looks like my garage.... In my dreams!!

Wouldn't mind a little mosey around there myself one day, although I fear I may emerge resembling my school report.... Must try harder! :)

Glad you had a good day Adam. Enjoy your evening, I'm sure it'll involve a beer or two...

Great to meet you today Adam. Some great pics there. Tough to pick a winner, but for pure bonkers OTT it would have to be the Spyker.
Hope you enjoyed your ride in Adams car. I put mine back in the garage a couple of hours ago now and still haven't stopped smiling!

The Lambretta was awesome, it was a limited edition, only 10 made, it was number 9/10.
