No the GT2 isn't Guards Red, its some sort of burnt orange colour - custom order apparently. He has the seat belts and instrument cluster colour-coded in the same orange.

very nice...track days with higher end cars are always a lot of fun. i'm lucky enough to live about 45 minutes away from gingerman raceway in south haven, mi and theres always some good times in the summer...

Wow Dingo your sunny pictures are so bright for a Nordic fellow like me, than I must to put my sunglasses to see them. 8)

For sure they seem to come from another planet because last time I saw the sun was probably in 2005

dingo · 02-12-2006, 06:17 AM

well the sun can be nice I suppose, but it also is the PITA - today I played golf and beach volleyball and got sunburnt (despite cream and a hat) and soaked with sweat. :bah: So there are negatives to it also....

It seems like a red day that day

About the brakes, I still remember my first trackday passenger experience. It may have only been in a Scooby, but it had some decent track oriented brakes and the driver's favourite thing was braking late and hard

What impressed me the most was the braking.

As for the pics, you did a great job again. I really love this pics:

And if you photoshop spinning wheels and some tyre smoke on this one, it looks like a superb drift

Haha, I'll ask dani if we can use it in the next PS contest and I'm sure someone will do as you say.

Yes, I've decided I'm not going to buy my own - its cheaper just being passenger in somebody elses.

Lucky guy!!!

The pictures are great

Grey, definitely isn't a good color for a Gallardo :roll: but the red Elise looks really nice with black wheels.

:arrow: Don't know why but everytime I visit you're site using FireFox, when I click in a picture, instead of opening another window, it goes to the top of the page. It doesn't happens with IE.

This has nothing to do with your site. It's an Offtopic and maybe this is not the right place to put this. :arrow: When I open some pictures, they appear all fucked up. This happens with firefox and IE, and even when I refresh the page it appears exactly the same way. Does anybody knows what could be the problem ??? It's really frustrating when I want to save a picture :x

komotar · 02-13-2006, 02:48 PM

awesome :shock: !!!!

I love the pics!

That 430 is literary jumping out of the pics 8)

Thx for a great coverage

And about the passenger vid, man, that engine doesn't know how to stop reving 8)

Thx 8)

I've had a couple of people mention this before. The last guy (from another forum) went through my html code with me and we found something which fixed the problem for him - seems it hasn't done the same for you.

Not sure what the prob is really.....

yeah it was amazing, 8500rpm is insane for a V8.
