Exclamation

I'm not joking

Silver Zonda spotted going through Slough this morning at about 8:00AM. Subtle beast... I nearly put the car in the crash barrier doing a double take.

I've seen this around Loudwater as well. Everybody in the office did a double take when it went past first time, and then just drewled when it came back past about 5 minutes later.

Very very nice car.

Totally agree! If he'd stopped for more than five minutes, the wheels would have been off and the stereo nicked!

It had a number plate C12... - I think it is the same car that is featured in Autocar's handling test (if not, it is a very similar number)

Thumbs up

Hey ChrisL - you need to be coming along to the Slough Friday lunchtime meet! It's something to look forward to! IIRC you were even the first to respond on the thread. So come along to The Plough this Friday.

A map can be viewed here.

GAZZER,

Your mate must have a better example of the Zonda because EVO did the 200MPH+ test on the Autobahn and they struggled to get the car up to 199MPH and that's with modifications to the bodywork.

It is better than the one evo had.Apparently the one in Evo was not working very well that day aswell as a standard exhaust.

My Mates' has a special exhaust,and no cats, sounds awesome through tunnels.
