*scribbles note* ...A310, gotcha I agree on the F40, it's the Concorde moment for Ferraris as far as I'm concerned, beyond which everything changed. I don't suppose anyone will ever make such a pure car again; faster, yeah, more efficient, yeah, but never so focused and designed for one thing and one alone. Sadly, there wasn't one there so I couldn't take any pics of it

I sat in an F40 once! It was at Maranello concessionaires because someone had tried to drive in the snow......18 months later they were still trying to get body parts to repair it!
Must pencil in the Pageant in next years calendar! Were you displaying or just looking?

Me? I was just looking. I can fit both the kids in the FD, but there'd have been no room for the wife, lol. So in the interests of a family day out we abandoned any pretense of cool motoring and went in the FocusManaged to bring a few rotaries a couple of years back, might actually try to organise something for next year. Proof... 2009, some FDs. One of them was even mine! and even an RX-4! and 2010, some more FDs, one of which was mine again... running in and two RX-4s It was quite funny that year, the engine had only been in my Rex about two weeks and the low coolant sensor chose that day to go mutant. It sounds a piercing buzzer in the car, you can't disable it without taking the entire dash out as it's behind the clocks. Couldn't find the cause problem either; the sender and wiring all seemed fine, coolant level was fine. Had no choice but to drive the hour and a half home with the buzzer sounding constantly. It was like water torture or something, every time the buzzer got a bit strained and rattly we thought "yeah, it's going to die at last" but then it'd rally and start buzzing away with renewed vigour. I'd given a mate a lift to the show, and his sense of humour was very strained by the time he finally escaped the car! I'm not sure he's actually accepted a lift since... ...funniest bit was the next day I opened the bonnet and the break in the sensor wire was blatantly obvious, God knows how we missed it the previous day. Bridged it to earth, hey presto, no buzzer. Took about five seconds
