Finally got to try the AM GT4 - first time driving it and it was good. I do get put off around 12-15 mins in to this, the golden sun setting through the trees is pretty spectacular to drive through.

Right, just the Spa challenge and that’s me with a complete set!

Every little helps!

 

Driving the Maserati is pretty interesting as my next door neighbour drives one, or at least when it’s not in the garage being fixed - again!

 

Time for a leader board update!

@Emmanuel Tubbiolo ...
Unfortunately our government declared “Lombardia” under red zone so, in Milan, we’re under home lockdown. While, about the weather, today we have 9º...but don’t worry, I know what I can do in order to spend my time

Really thought I was going to break the magic 31 barrier until darkness fell and things got a little slippy!

 

Brilliant
Ok you win... I'm not going back in to that car... It's been a great week
Thanks for that!

 

Did you see that. I've updated my profile.. trying to look better..
I was thinking it has to be something to do with cars.. so I found a pic of my favourite family car. Alfa Romeo GTV6. we had the Alfetta before that. Every summer we used to go for the holidays in Vibo Marina in the south of Italy to see the family. From Marseille the "theoretical best lap time" was 20 hours... no highway at the time. But like Goodgame's, my uncle wasn't agree and did it once in 13 hours.. I remember waking up in the middle of the night, 4 of us at the back... no belt, doing a nice 240 km/h in the only highway portion. Like a video game that portion was rhythms with tunnels. Great effect.
So here is why...

 

Nice story, @Emmanuel Tubbiolo, resembles one of my own. When I was about 12, my uncle would take me for some snooker games evenings, those snooker rooms were filled with cigarette smoke and he and his friends drank several shots of whiskey. He had an Alfa Romeo 2300, a Brazilian made model. After the game, he would "sportively" drive me back home.

Note: those were the 80s, at least here in Brazil it was considered socially acceptable to drive after drinking, as long as the driver was "ok". Don't know how that would be for you guys in other countries in the 80s.

More about the 2300 here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfa_Romeo_2300
As far as I know, European car collectors have imported some of these cars from Brazil.

Niiice... great car too. I think everyone from the 80s here will confirm we are all happy to be alive.. not to mention they were smoking in the car with windows closed sometimes..

 

Haha man
Crazy to believe people drove that fast with no seatbelt. But different times, good thing society advanced in that regard....

The first Uk drink ‘driving’ law came in to practice in 1872 when it became an offence to be drunk while in charge of carriages, horses, cattle and steam engines! Then in 1925 it became any mechanically propelled vehicle. 1930 this was updated to ‘illegal if under the influence’ to drive, 1960 it was changed to ‘unfit to drive’ and then 1962 ‘ability to drive properly was for the time being impaired’. Still no legal limit though, that was introduced in 1967 and the first breathalyser in ‘68. And finally, phew, 2014 in Scotland only the legal limit was dropped from 80mg to 50mg/100ml of blood.

I know, not that interesting apart from how long it’s been ‘considered’ an offence to drive whilst under the influence in the UK - 1872!
