Great tip. Thanks!

You know the saying. "Be there or be talked about."


God, I hate ending sentences with prepositions. Makes my skin crawl.

Sounds like it was a good thing I wasn't able to come though since I would've been tempted to slap the cigarette out of your hand/mouth. Can't stand breathing in people's nasty ass second hand smoke.

If you're going to smoke tobacco, smoke cigars or nothing.

Well you didn't have had to hold my hand while I was smoking. After the Alameda experience I pretty much wandered away from any sign of civilization in order to have a smoke.
Cigars are just plain nasty smelling.

Meh. Just don't let your participle dangle.

Like when he was drifting around a LaFerrari... drifting a LaFerrari... Then the F12 and the F12 superfast. lol.

Yet I do not envy him.

Haha yeah Richard Hammond crashing that 2MEuro car last year was not a good look for them at all. Fave Chris Harris vid has to be the f12tdf but his first ft86 vid was definitely a huge factor in me getting this car.

Hit 4000 rpm this morning, did not crash.

I got the car in October and I’m starting to get used to the sound. Still don’t like it though and still question if it’s normal.

Got a video? I'm actually pretty curious now.

Yep, I watched that video probably 100 times, and the top gear video, and the head 2 head videos, etc etc lol. Watching all of his other videos though make me want something that's more difficult to drive than the 86, less of a beginners car which is what the 86 is starting to feel like.... Maybe I just need to get back on my summers though and start heading to tracks, only so much you can do on public roads without going past the threshold of safe/illegal.

Oh and he's actually the only reason my interest in Ferrari grew lol, never cared about them at all, then I saw an F12 in person and his videos on it(and it's iterations).

I agree, feels like this car is slowly teaching me to become a better driver.

The track is definitely the way to go with these tho. As Chris Harris put it we have a 10/10 car and it comes alive at or past the limit. Unfortunately hard to do that on normal streets. I will be going to Cayuga this summer for my first few track days... Will let you know in advance when it happens if you want to join. Probably open lapping first then open drifting (I just want to drift around tbh but I also would like to get a feel for the track before I start hooning around on it)

I did get to a couple AutoX events last summer.. most fun you will have without going to the track for sure. Sign up for PITL season this summer I guaranty based on your comments that you will have a blast.

Please do let us know the date. I will try to show up as well. I haven't been there in almost 20 years.
