No.. look at his profile.. he lives in the UK, but makes trips to the continet as many supercar owners do 8)

He also met up with that "Ted" guy in a Pub in London

Oh ok - but the "top speed" threads spoke about a normal route to work that involved an autobahn...

Have you posted on F1 Automotive Forums... and did you get a ride in an LM

yea my name was jomo12345, we were once considering a f1 but it kinda faded away so i stopped posting on the forum, you can check out a tread called like "list of online dealers" or somethin, theres a pic of my dad, the owner, and myself with the lm. both rides were a great experience esp. the lm. With the short cut gears and everything. the most memorable moment was in the lm, we were at a light and an old couple next to us were covering their ears w/ their hands b/c the exhaust was so loud.
Edit: heres the thread and the pic of us in it, blurred our faces b/c i didnt know if the owner wanted to be seen or not

^^^
I remember that :shock:

I got into reading that forum a while ago, and suspected it might be you.

You are really lucky to have ridden in the LM w/ straigh cut gears.. must have been noisy.

Its funny... small world and all that 8)

We are hoping that the car will get here tomorrow b/c on saturday we are flying to colorado, and then from there we are driving the vanquish to monterey for all the events. so if it doesn't arrive tomorrow(probably wont) then we will get it when we come back from monterey.

LOL... i'd stay at home to get an F50, but i guess it will still be there when you get back

And... a Vanq is a pretty special car to be travelling in anyways 8)

Wow, cool pic budagboy2, that must have been quite an experience to ride in an LM...

Great thread from Piston Heads as well, I really enjoyed reading that. It's great that he's such a down to earth guy. From my experience, most super car owners are down to earth, and really happy to share their cars with other people, which is great!
