Ferrari/Lambo Cruise - 3 more passenger rides!

[dingo]

Its just crazy lately – I don’t what I’ve done but passenger rides are just falling into my lap. :shock:

The Ferrari club met up early morning, with the plan to drive to the Sittella Winery for lunch and some wine tasting.

I was actually meant to tag along for todays drive in my WRX, but when I turned up I was told there were 3 free seats – Diablo VT, Countach and Dino and I should make a choice. :shock: At this point I didn’t know I’d end up in all three anyway.

I went with the Countach to start with – what a surreal experience getting into this car! I had hardly any room between my head and the roof and it was just generally uncomfortable. The owner warned me I would be boiling hot, have heat stroke and a headache by the time it was over – and he was right!!!

For a 35yr+ old car it still goes like hell, makes the right sounds and an impact on the road like no other. The brakes on the other hand are nothing special, tested my nerves a few times. J
It wasn’t the most luxurious drive ever – but in the end its all part of the experience.


beating the Murcielago in a drag race.....


We had to make a stop for fuel (it used ¾ tank for the trip), and he said I should go in the Diablo (also his) to cool down a bit.

His wife was driving the red beast, but let me tell you she doesn’t drive like the typical woman! The Diablo has always been a dream car for me, so to finally get a ride in one was unreal. Everything in this car just works better and is that little bit faster – and I love the seating position in the Diablo. There is really nothing about the Diablo that I dislike, I think I’m in love.





I’ve now been in the Murci, Gallardo, Diablo and Countach – so a Miura would be nice now.

The Diablo/Countach owners live near where we went for lunch, so they didn’t make the drive back into the city. So that only left the Dino for me to get back home in – great I thought!

A much more subdued/relaxing ride in the little Ferrari, but still a car I would love to own one day. It looks sensational, and I have to say I was still impressed by its on-road performance.


going through the tunnel was amazing, the chorus of 3 Lambos and many Ferraris was to die for!


There were actually a few other cars too. Unfortunately the parking area at the winery didn't allow many nice pics, but after the day I had I didn't really care to be honest.

F430 Spider, the first time the owner has taken it on a club drive



Lamborghini Murcielago 40th Anniversary (25/50)



550 Maranello, the owner also has two Lambos at home. :shock:



We had three 360's - two Spiders and a Modena...
