I know why your asking brisby and i'm happy to tell!! (Still riding a wave of excitement)
Well where do I start, I have officially just had the best day of my life, if i died right now I would feel like my life is complete....
I organised a drive day for an editorial feature i'm doing on P1 Car club for Unique Cars magazine. They gave me 5 cars in Sydney for the day, A Ferrari 430 Spider (Red), Lamborghini Gallardo (Yellow), Aston Martin V8 Vantage (Dark Grey), Bentley Continental GT (Silver), Porsche 997 Convertible (Silver).
I picked up the cars from Star City Casino this morning (thats where they are stored) and I started in the Ferrari and spent most of my day in it, we did have the opportunity to share the cars, I also spent alot of time in the Aston (That car rocks!) and Lambo (which I wasn't overly impressed with), I enjoyed a shorter spin in the Bentley (That thing is quick!). We drove from 9.45am-4.30pm. Up to the state forest through there (Quickly) and to a few other nice hot spots.
I had some clients driving the porsche and 4 drivers for the other cars. My editor had the Bentley for the most part of the day. I inlisted the help of Snowy (Snowman) and James (Jamezilla) to fly up an be drivers for the day (before you start complaining about my selection of SAU drivers you had to be over 30 years old), Snowy's car for most of the day was the lambo (Which he absolutely loves) and James was in the Aston (but also had a stint in the ferrari for the photographer. He even had a bit of sideways action with me in the passenger seat!)
Anyway that Ferrari is the most amazing car in the world, words cannot describe how I feel about that car and in my lifetime I will own one if it kills me. The lambo didn't do it for me, sure it looks good but getting out of the Ferrari into that thing is just a let down for me, it had only done 5000 clicks and the interior was battered, it was also very annoying to drive in traffic and visability was crap. It just cannot compare to the ferrari AT ALL. The aston is the best value for money and is amazing, opens up after 4000 rpm and makes a sound like the world will end (the ferrari does it a 3200 rev's though and its sooo cool)
Anyway my preference in order of the cars, Ferrari 430 (This thing rocks, out of this world and i can see why people would spend that much money on a car like this!), Aston V8 Vantage (This thing also rocks, bang for buck definately a good buy better than anything in its class and the lambo), Lamborghini Gallardo, Bentley GT & the Porshe.

Now i sit lonely in my hotel room in sydney pondering the day, I will shut up now.
