Supercar Rally 2004, my pics finally!
 
Yes, you know how I am, so, before the pics, here is the boring stuff ;) mainly about the car that took me there (a total of 700 km and 96 pics 11 hours)

Anyway, the drive was amazing! i know most reviews are not THAT positive about the TT (Roadster or coupé), especially from mags like evo.. but I fear they are too used to drive supercars.. I can assure you that the 180 hp TT Roadster for a normal person like me, with normal cars experience, it is a blast! 180 hp are fine enough to throw the car pretty fast from a corner to the next one, but just not enough to create too much understeer!
Yes the roadster isn't really rigid... on big potholes it's like it is ripped apart (25'000 km on this car, so still pretty new BTW). But its chassis is WELL sorted! You can throw at it many things and it just accept them all! Lift off in every kind of corner, and even quite heavy braking mid corner.. the rear break loose for a sec but then comes back like on rails.. the front wheels bite incredibly well! the brakes just accepted some serious punished today with no fading at all!!

I was even lucky enough to do the downhill part yesterday afternon behind a Renault 5 Turbo 2 wich was a marvellous pleasure.. he was with a girl so he didn't push too much and I fear his brakes were not even close to the TT's, but to be behind such car, with all its cracking, backfiring and burbles for almost 20 km was a dream! it was red, it was shiny and like if it left the factory last week! Amazing pocket rocket!

I was then in Lugano (thanks to miss TT for talking to me all the way through her GPS knowledge... even if I know the road very well, it is nice to have the car talking to you if you are bored LOL)

And it was quite nice there...it would have been worth for the black F40 alone in my opinion!!!!

Sadly not all the cars were there I fear.. somebody was still taking a shower at the Hotel LOL! but still amazing!

Definitely worth it!

Oh, first of all, here is the car that took me there just in case you missed it in the other topic ;)

Awesome pics TT, always a bonus when TT sees a car in a colour even he hasn't seen before :D 8) The yellow Zonda is also a bit different i always seem to see pics of them in silver :wink:

Does that mean that all the other pics are blurry or have an idiot on the way ? :wink:

Well not really since basically I usually delete the really crap ones right away... but of course there were a couple taken with the camera not on the tripod that were pretty blurry (shutter at 1/15.. not easy to get a sharpen pic ;))

Sadly for instance, impossible to get a nice F40 front shot.. the only one posted is crap LOL
