I thought the article was crap, but I had fun messing around in cars again, They should have mentioned Launch cantrol, traction cantrol and ABS on most of the cars, all I had was me foot.

Steve Sutcliff told me that if I wasnt trying to anticipate the 100mph and was just going for it, the 0-100 time would be half a second quicker, we got the same time one up or two up which was interesting.

And you should have seen how they treated the manufacturers cars, I wouldnt want one after theyed done that to them.

Oh yeh Greg, I had a hoon around in the Superlaggera which was fun.

Sandwiches and the weather were good!

Did you get invited as a result of meeting Chris Harris at last years Fighting Torque then?

Whats Sutters like? I imagine he is a top chap too. (and a blinking good driver!!)

Any video on autocar.co.uk of it? Pop up the links if there is smile

Bit kitcar ish, definatly not worth the dosh, a Zonda is much better put together and better looking, the bloke who owned it was a really good bloke, he's got a Veyron, F40 and some other exotica as well.

And it was 2 seconds slower than the Noble
