Half way to being 60...
So to celebrate, I'm off to York this afternoon, and will be driving a Ferrari 360 and a Lamborghini Murcielago round the race course / air museum at Elvington on Sunday. Fun times!
30!

Happy birthday mate! I just got destroyed at an all-nighter for my 30th... allegedly... 
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Re: 30!
Congratulations Graeme 
I remember my 30th. For some reason it was the only, 'milestone' that upset me. Didn't mind being 20, 40 or 50 at all, but 30 seemed ever so old! I suppose I associated it with over 30's being 'grown-ups', as in my innocence I had yet to discover no such beings actually exist....

Now I always thought that was an unfortunate name / number for a car. See if you can find out why it's called that.highlander wrote:a Ferrari 360

Re: 30!
Oh HELL yes.
I'm going to see if they'll give me a shot in the Aston Martin DB9 too. I've booked the photo and DVD package too, so there should be some really good photos coming out of this too.
Yeah, 360 isn't a great name for a car, unless Ferrari decided it would be a good doughnutters' car. I've never driven a rear-wheel-drive car before, so it may well live up to its' name!
I know that other cars, even Audi R8s, may be better than the Lambo, but I have always been a bit of a Lambo fanboy - loved the Countach and Diablo, really flamboyant looking mad cars. I know the Countach was a real bitch to drive (totally impractical; parking it was a nightmare, apparently) but I still wanted one.

Belated happy 30th Graeme! 
I've just had my 35th, it's like someone hits the fast forward button when you reach your 30's
