    There was a 458 Italia at the last track day this year, when it went past me on the straight it sounded bad to the bone!

    The car is absolutely beautiful up close too, where you can see all of the clever engineering done to the body.

    I swear, the brake rotors were bigger around than my tires/wheels!

    What's under that louvered hood, if the engine is in the back?

    Always drive your convertible Mini with the roof down, even when it's cold. Last January I was enjoying as bit of winter sun when a Ferarri Enzo (I think) came past me slow enough that I could cup my hand round my ear - the driver was clearly paying attention as he kindly pulled alongside me at about 80, changed into (maybe) third, lit up his rear tyres and kept the throttle planted until I could only hear him, not see him. Luscious.

    Hot air outlets from the multitude of radiators in the front.

    BTW, back in the day I used to drive my Dino all winter - including in the snow! It actually handled pretty well too, being mid engined and rear drive...

    Seems like heresy today, but back then people thought they were cars and supposed to be used all year long.
