This is more of a notice to let others know really.
Anyone in the Bristol area, there is a Renault F1 car up at The Mall this week. You can get within touching distance of it. Its this seasons car because it has Fisi and Heikis names on it.
I did try and email you Acidhell but it bounced sorry.

Up close it was actually a lot longer than I imagined to be honest (no puns please I am not being rude for once)

Sure? I mean, wouldnt it be racing still, considering the season hasnt finished yet?

Renault take that car everywhere. Just about every big motoring show and it will be there. I don't think it is the 2007 car as the front wing is last year's design.

Oh you lot are just ruining my day now!!!
Why do I bother!

Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These

Father Ted: are very small; those
[pointing at some cows out of the window]
Father Ted: are far away...

Getting back to the "smaller in real life..." thing, they sometimes had supercars on a stand at Stansted airport- one of those mega-lottery things. Over 3 or 4 years I saw a Ford GT and DB9 which both looked grand, but earlier this year they had a Gallardo and I was gobsmacked by how small it is.

I know it's the Baby Lambo and wasn't expecting a huge car but it really is a tiny thing.

Arguably one of the coolest Goddamn things I've seen in my life too, nearly missed my flight!

This thread's really not gone the way you hoped, has it?

Naww, ne'ver mind. There'll be other threads, there always is...

That'll teach me to pay attention, was at the mall yesterday getting glasses, saw some girls in ing/renault tops and the new twingo as I was going down the stairs, didn't bother to look around more than that though

Saw some at the renault world series thing last year though, and the noise was far louder than I expected, could tell where it was on the track, was awesome,

Would be nice to see a McLaren tbh
