Dingo you lucky bastard Must be nice to be able to spring for that kind of a trip

I have 2 requests:

1) Don't ignore the Z
2) see if you can get a shot of the pack from the sunroof (if equipped) of one of the cars...though not at 300+kmh..colliding with a bug at that speed might sting a little

I'm not sure if any of them have a sunroof, but i could try it out the top of the 360 Spider when the roof is down.

This sounds fantastic; and no speed limits... Damn. :shock:

I'm sure you'll have fun, so no need to tell you to do so...


Just a small request: keep your camera pointed at the Stradale, please.


And if it is the Stradale that I'm thinking (Scud's), that thing sounds fucking insane! :shock:

As long as you get the Z in a few shots, i'll be happy

Again, as Robbo has said it is Scud's CS that is coming (also his GT2) - but he has changed the cats (and shocks) so it won't be as loud as in some of those videos. He was worried about getting pulled over by cops and getting the trip ruined for 'noise pollution' or whatever.

Ohh, I see... But it still sounds amazing anyway; it's a Stradale after all.

*UPDATE*

The magazine (MOTOR) has confirmed it will attend and be bringing along a Mitsubishi Evo IX - not really exotic I suppose but will be cool to experience a yet-to-be-released car.

Correct.

Don't worry guys, I will get pics of all the cars - including the NSX.
