It is. it's been a little difficult keeping up the excitement levels one year on and with slow progress at times but now that it has some form to it I am starting to get more interested. It should go quickly now that it is close to being on its wheels.
Selling it? No. But I will give certain persons who are weak willed a fang in it and then they will be on the hook for when the time comes.

Only if they owe me ****e loads more than they are worth, then the strategy is to hold to make the depreciation over a number of years look not so bad.
No, I plan for this one to be a keeper. Unless someone wants to swap for a GT3?

A question for the younger forum members.
I had lunch with Simon G (anyone want to buy a 355) and mentioned the problem with learning to unwind the steering wheel. He said get a Playstation game and practice on that.
Which driving games are the most realistic for the PS3? Also is the Logotech G27 the best value controller?

It's supposedly a very good wheel, and I think the best option for PS3. When I started looking into building a rig I was considering that, a Thrustmaster, and a Fanatec. It gets expensive quickly...
Unsure about any of the games being overly realistic. Gran Turismo 6 is probably the best option, but I have no experience.
iRacing is relatively accessible, but you'll need a PC to run it on.

I'm not sure how much he wants but i don't think it's outrageous. He has his eyes on another marque and the trade-in offer on the 355 wasn't great.

630kms later we are in Martinborough. 500kms is comfortable. More = stiff in a few places. Needed the radar detector today. Lovely light with the low sun coming into Martinborough

Well done Doug, real trooper. I find touring such distances a real chore as its too boring with all the enforcement risk these days. Targa experiences ruin normal touring ....

I found two nice B roads today which made up for it, although with the speed limiter sitting next to me I only got to scout them, no spirited driving. Now, how to "escape" for some real fun over the next few days
