[MissJuz]

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.

Pics to follow if anyone is interested...

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

Juz

Thats sounds ace

Lucky you 3.

Well I think you guys have done something that no one else will ever do in our lifetime

Cant wait to see the pics

[navdan]

Thats just cruel Juz! Telling us all that and then not posting pics...yet

You win the award for the most interesting day!

Good stuff

[GTRgeoff]

Bans for all 3.

At least I found a cheap 30 bottom end ideal for the track car.

Sif you would want a Ferrari after drivin an Aston.

Aston = cool

Ferrari = tool

[MissJuz]

Sorry James has got the pics, him and snowy are on there way back to melbourne.

We also had a proffessional photographer for the editorial story...

GTR Geoff - have you driven them both? Don't knock it till you try it, the 430 is just amazing, i could've driven it for ever.

LOVE the aston to bits but if i had 500k to spend the ferrari is a must if I had anything less the Aston V8 Vantage would be a clear choice, they are both fantastic but the 430...... shessh.

[RCHOO]

Things to do for 2007..

Get on Juzs christmas list..........lol

I was about to post up what my Thursday was like .. But forget that

[GTRgeoff]

Geoff will do just fine Juz. We aren't formal here.

I can honestly say the 430 is not something I have driven, but I have driven several others including a 355 and the unwanted attention and noise will get a bit raw after a few days, whereas something with real style like an Aston (in my case a DB7 but I do understand the Vantage is a real beast) will be a keeper. Personally I'd be more for a Maser quattroporte. I'm lucky to have family with money and a passion for nice cars. Just the buggers won't let me have one for mare than a day or so but I do show them a bit of fun. My young lady cousin had her cheap beater die so her dad gave her the keys to the 308. 3 days and she gave it back and hired a car. Just sick of every tool wanting to drag.

Glad you had a fun day though.

[Husky33]

The F430 is the love of my life

Too bad i'll never get near one in my entire life

Were you in a hardtop or convertable?

[dezz]

spider is the convertible...

Go the F430. got up close to one at dutton, and the owner was showing off to some blondey so he fired it up....wish I had a better camera than my phone at the time

[MissJuz]

The 430 is different to those Ferraris.... For me it was amazing, however at the end of the day we all had chats about what car we liked the best and would take home if we had the choice (dreaming mode). Two of my clients said of all of the cars they would take the Bentley so it does just depend on the person.

This clip of the 430 shows what it is like, I drove it in sports mode to start and then for the rest of the day I flicked it into race mode.
