Right guys went on a track day last week and thought I would post some pics

The subaru felt so much quicker - less lag than my TT but still love my TT compared to the WRX

Drove the WRX, 550, 360, 355 and the AMG SL
Also wateched the new vantage being driven sounded awesome as did the DB9


See pics below














and look what parked next to me - 20in wheels aswell



Any comments welcome

the best car there Jambo - although the 550 was so quick

The 355 was LHD

The 360 was very unstable but sounded amazing

Loved the Subaru but don't think I could change the TT for it

Is that at Loughborough? As that's where I did my Supercar experience.

I drove the Ferrari 550 too, how did you find the clutch on it?

yeah was at Prestwold

The clutch was heavy on the 550 but the 360 gearbox was thrashy - not easy to change gear quick in those cars

250 mate - I hit over 130 in the 550 - it was so fast down the straights

Got it a little side ways out the first bend as it was damp too lol
