    Really?

    Funny, I don't remember you telling us about all the 360's deficiencies when you were driving it, Nick.

    Re: Fifth Gear: lottery winner chooses a sportscar...

    Nick is right though..I have a 360 at the moment, my 430 is due in June/July and I cant wait..the game has moved on, the biggest difference is definitely in the gearbox technology.

    AM V8 for me...I know that the V8 has 380 hp against F430 and it's 490 hp...but the V8 is beautiful...and the sound of the V8 is louder than the 430...and I'm just waiting to see the RS version...

    Did I mention any deficiencies in the 360? It is one hell of a car but the 430 takes it to another level. Something beyond the grasp of Porsche given their penchant for incremental "evolution".

    What I find even more amusing than 5th Gear is that the person who sent me a pompous, arrogant PM on this subject and roasted the lottery winner then overnight changed his profile to reflect ownership of a car that he (allegedly) had already sold on his profile a day earlier, and decided to upload a picture of a Ferrari to give himself more credibility (in his own mind maybe).. --sorry I couldnt resist posting this - are people in this world really so bothered about such things?? In the US there is a term 'player hater'...but I love a bit of amusement..you have to be able to take criticism if you are going to give it out so heavily.. And honestly I am not bothered in the least by what you said, I was just playing with a player hater...!



    Oh dear, another misguided load of tripe. I make a tongue in cheek comment and upset your delicate sensitivities yet others who have done so do not. Move on fella. And for your information I do (unfortunately) still have my 360 as the sale fell through last week. When it's gone I'll be happy to add the word sold back to my profile. And as for my PM that was anything but offensive. It was merely an attempt to prevent a childish spat on an open forum but you seem to prefer to do just that so I won't bother giving the time of day to any further things you post on the subject which you then try to justify by including silly comments like "I couldn't resist". I don't know where you get this crap about player haters but check back through my posts on the site and you'll see I'm anything but.

    The desired effect perhaps we now know how the lottery winner would feel if he read this. And if you think your PM was not arrogant my friend...
