This is what happens when u drive...and wife is not happy for your speed, even if u are a great Champion as Riccardo is:

Too funny

Except for screaming and the Italian gestures, my wife reacted similarly during some hot laps around VIR in the GT40.

He he he - nice one - very funny! :lol: :laugh: :2thumbsup:

I remember taking my wife round Goodwood in Roy's Mk1 GTD on Slicks about 10 yrs ago.

After the 2nd corner she was deathly quiet and a little 'pale'....

She said she enjoyed it but strangely has not been a passenger since..:sad:

My sister got as far as pit lane - when a sudden feeling of claustrophobia had her jumping out - nothing clever about taking someone genuinely scared for a ride...

 

My wife knows better than to go for a ride with me!

They are all sisters, they just live in different houses.

Paulo, '''VAFFANCULOO & all the ...................'s''' need just a little more translation

 

[Eric Johnson]

Thanks Paolo !!!!

Poor old Riccardo, no sex with the missus for at least a year I reckon.

 

[Dimi Terleckyj]

The first time I took my lady out for a drive in the 40 we went up into the mountains and on a good private road she got to experience 180Km/hr and also the way the 40 corners and accellerates.

When we got back all she keeps on asking is when we can do it again and I think from the way she was acting for the next week she was on an adrenalin high for the whole week.

I just feel very lucky that I have a partner that loves the 40 as much as I do.

That is absolutely classic! Too damn funny. Thanks for the translation Paolo.

 

[Paolo-LoveGT40 Modelworks]

[roaldin]

The serene joy on Riccardo's face is wonderful.

Ricardo knew exactly what he was doing, in complete bliss.
I understood "vaumito" without translation....

Mama Mia!
That was a great laugh, thanks Paolo
