Default Just driven a Lambo Gallardo

Well..................should have done if I'd actually been well enough to go to the ISTS at Donnington!!

I suppose I saved £40 in petrol though.

What hes trying to tell us that the fear he had of driving the gallardo in the cold wet weather was enough for his immune sytem to give him the manflu to stop him scaring himself half to death

Think i drove past you? spotted a noble pulled up. was in the blue wagon and a mate in an Evo6 following. we backed off as the matrix was showing a reduced speed warning, then we spotted the roads changing for the worst. People carriers and rep mobiles were still hammering past us at stupid speeds for the conditions , then we spotted the crash on the south bound side. Worst weather of the day for 5 minutes.

@ martyrobertsdj - manflu can be fatal too, glad you pulled thru.

Heh heh........you guys!!!! Actually, I hadn't even looked at the "Supercar Loop" on the little map/guide I was sent. I looked on Monday though.......don't fookin think I missed much at all. It was exactly that...a loop...all left or right hand, not very interesting at all........hardly a challenge.....or fun!

Anyway you all know my Scoob will be just as fast as any Lambo (in the snow).

As for pulling through.......I'm very appreciative of your concern and also am glad that someone appreciates the gravity of the situation.....man-flu is indeed a terrible thing, and my lungs hurtling up my feckin throat and flying out of my mouth lastnight was not nice (well........it felt that way)

I think I'm getting better now.........I'd better be coz I'm sick of this.
