Marco records another trackday organised by Ferrari at the Ferrari Challenge event at the Imola racetrack. It was such a sunny and nice day that a lot of Ferraris decided to join the event. First i record them parked, but then they start and rev the engines ready to be pulled to the limit into the racetrack.

Spent 3hrs this morning with the new E92 M3 convertible out in the Swan Valley/Mundaring/Kalamunda – lucky enough to drive it down Mundaring Weir Rd. Amazing machine, I very much want a German V8 now!

The Porsche 997 Turbo will be getting it’s roof ripped off for a hairdresser-spec version to be available here in October ‘07.

Fancy breaking the highway speed-limit in less than 4 seconds from a standing start? It’ll only cost you about $360k.
