Last May I got to tour a 2.9 mile road course in Austin, Tx. in one, it was one hell of a ride. The guy that drove is an ex stunt driver and owner of the track. He did this thing where he went about 60 in reverse slammed on the brakes did a 360 then jambed the gas and drove it hard into the next turn on the course doing about 90 into the turn. I had to bite my lip to keep from yelling like a small Japanese school girl.

Yes my dream car as well. The thing in reverse is called a J Turn, but I believe you mean he did a 180 not 360 and then continued to drive forward.

Instructions for a J turn best tried on private wet road.

Reverse hard above 40 km/h

At the same time lift foot from accelerator and turn wheel either left or right rapidly about half to 3 quarter lock

As you swing through the 90 degree part engauage a foward gear and start to straighten wheel

Either curese for stuffing it up or grin like a schoolboy who has just recieved his first BJ.

We ended up going the same direction we started in after two complete rotations, I think that was 2 360s. You tell me what it was I'm not sure what you call it. He is an ex stunt driver and an ex Ferrari test driver. He also runs a school teaching cops form all over the US how to high speed drive.

Wow! All handmade, only 77 being produced and personally tuned and tweaked to your specifications when you take delivery! Just awesome!

However..... I don’t like the exterior styling that much! Something about those rear guards rubs me the wrong way. Still prefer a DBS! (better put my flame suite on, hey smick!! )

Mate, I just want to know how soon I would need to come up with the $$$ to get one of these secured...

I'm so tempted to do something rather silly to see 2 mill in Astons account with the engraving on the side skirts reading - Aston Martin, built for Smicky (under the Aston)...

:drool:

Oh so :drool:

only 77 - makes me want it even more - I love owning stuff that limited edition that others cant have... :loser: And I have the Go Head from Da Gurly as well... heheheh :spit: but the condition is I have to pay off her XR5... (I think that's very do'able)...

:blush: - what to do what to do :cry:

Yeah, not sure when they are being released but you have to get in quick with only 77 being made. I would imagine there is some stiff competition!

You can get custom side skirt engraving when you build a DB9 so I reckon they would sort you out with some "Smicky Specials" on this one! Dunno, what that will do to the re-sale value however....!

I reckon if you can rake up enough coin to buy one, paying off the missus XR5 is the least of your worries! Here’s hoping your tats lotto numbers come in! I shotgun a drive if they do but…..
