Blame Matt, he started sending me random texts about football, having confused me with someone who evidently likes sport. I still get texts from Dicky Grace about rugby as well. Everyone knows another Lewis these days :)

Hello Peter :) It's an RS4 ragtop, last of the manual normally aspirated cars. I was told I could have a 4 seat car, with cruise, nav and heated seats for £15k for my work commute. Ka-pow! Amusingly, 'aspirated' autocorrected itself to 'exasperated' before I spotted it!

I could be interested Pete... Lots on at the moment, but after an accidental text from Matt yesterday I started looking at Masers again... Either that or I'd be following you all down in an Audi :)

Hmm, the fly in the 456 ointment. Turns out it's stunningly good looking and brilliant to drive. New plan needed and I'm a bit stumped where to find £30k with a wedding and house to pay for... I'll think of somthing :)

For now, certainly! I get the Lotus back tomorrow if I can tax it (off the road for 10 years!) and whether I keep that or not with depend on whether I get the Ferrari. If I don't LOVE the Lotus then it's for the chop and I will suck up the money I have spent on it (£70k'ish) and just move...

Excellent to hear Peter, you going for something similar to before? I've seen my 4200 for sale a couple of times, have you ever seen yours? Could be a bargain!

It's the first of the Kamm tails so a HUGE boot (which we filled easily) and a little better to drive than the older boat tail. Much faster as well, really shifts for a 40yr old 2.0... Miles, as to the Lotus - pick it up on Tuesday if I'm allowed to tax it with a very old V5 that is from...

It is a Pantera, this was the annual tour with the De Tomaso owners clubs of Europe. Twenty something Panteras/Mangustas and my little Alfa :)

What a car, did me proud and earned it's place - we'll keep it for a while now :) Full body restoration and rebuild, uprated brakes, lowered on new Bilsteins, high lift cams, 2 x twin choke Dellortos, K&N filters, full Alfaholics exhaust, short diff from 1300. Went like a rocket and was...

Went to have a look at a couple at Rardleys down by Hindhead Tunnel, of course enjoying the tunnel while I was there as well ;) Initial impression is - I love them! Most I have seen are Tour de France, Le Mans or Scuro blue anyway and all have either a tan or crema interior. The interior is...

Robert, would have loved to - we're looking at a potential wedding venue that weekend in Somerset so can't make it. Bet you have a great day as well and we go home umm'ing and arr'ing :(

Indeed, from my pal Jerry at Greycar if anyone wants a pair. His particular cognac leather is very recogniseable :) http://www.greycar.com/product.php?product_id=openbackcon Hello Peter, how's things?!

Ughh, would love to sign up but think LM1013 will be my stag do!! Suffered last year through lack of people, it's all about the group!

Might see you guys there... heading over tomorrow to begin our tour!

Well remembered Nikos!! If the timing works out well, Enzo and I will be sharing my 6.5 litre DB9 down there!!

I desperately want to drive the Route Napoleon again... I may well nip down later in the year for it if any other takers?! September time... Great write-up Frank, thanks for taking the time. What a meal in Clermont Ferrand, foie gras for 2 courses! And the Etoges attempts at making me a...

Lovely thing, a Ferrari V12 is something utterly special! Manual box would have been my preference but I am sure the auto suits the character of the car. Does it feel as quick as the 4200?

My dates in September are the 8th to the 18th inclusive. If it's within there, VincEnzo and I will be there in my Dee Bee Nine. Did I mention it will have over 600bhp by then..? And thankfully a switchable exhaust :)

Few choice photos while I have them on my phone. Wish I had taken more, especially of scenery, but not easy when driving!

There will always be another chance to talk and drive Nikos - and next time we'll do the run around Lake Como as well :)
