Sorry, a small error on my part.

Test drives will only be for Ferrari & Maserati owners who are bringing their cars down for a vehicle or geo check on this occasion as there aren't enough test drive slots for everyone.

The good news is that HR Owen will be organising a similar open day for Lamborghini owners at their Lamborghini service centre later this year. More details will be posted up nearer the time.

Apologies for any confusion caused.

......very probably. I'm looking to have my centre pipe modified (lightly silenced) in the near future as I am having problems giving rides for the Sporting Bears charity. Most of the venues have noise limits and mine doesn't just break them it smashes them to pieces. The pops and crackles on the overrun sound like artillery fire and they scare the cr4p out of any unsuspecting motorists. Great fun but vaguely bordering on unacceptable to the noise police.

Update

There are only 8 vehicle check slots left at HR Owen. So if you would like to have a FREE check of your Ferrari or Maserati, get in touch with them asap.

The Geometry checks are now all booked up.

Still a few test drive slots avialable for the California & Maserati GranCabrio for those that are having vehicle/suspension checks done as well.

I took those 2 out last year and I preferred the Grancabrio. It was interesting to compare them back to back but the Cali gearbox is in a different class.

Another good day out. Was on time to get there at 10.00 but got caught in the jam on the M1 and didn't get there until 12.20. Drove the 458 and then the GranCabrio; fantastic cars, but the 458, what a thing! Turns average drivers into good drivers but at times maybe does a little too much but if I won the lottery I would have one. The spyder ran like a Swiss watch all day including a mad blast with a 348 on the M1.

Oh yes! I was out in the Lakes yesterday and I ended up behind a Lambo Galliardo. He said as he went for it he couldn't hear his own car over mine and I was behind him! He also said it was very probably the best sounding road car he had ever heard. Praise indeed. Im burnt to a crisp after 2 days with the roof down, but it was worth it!

I'm gutted to have missed this. Saw the thread when it came up and would loved to have had the geometry done while testing the Ferrari and Maserati's - what an opportunity! I had to be elewhere with the car and couldnt get out of it :(

Will certainly keep my eyes peeled for this happening again. Trouble is, I'd probably then want to buy another car, one I can ill afford!

I also drove the 458' it was dripping in carbon fibre, race mode was better, almost an Essex boys dream.... Er..... Well.......
I drove one at the Factory in 2010 but this one felt even more refined, however made the GTS feel like a Fiesta on the way home LOL

I'll keep my £268,000 for now ;)
