5th Gear last night.

He goes to Italy to drive the Enzo. Had to go through a briefing of what not to do, no one was to turn off the traction control!!

Tiff then has to wait for Italian and German journalists to have their turn before him all of them too scared to even drive it a liitle fast.

Then he jumps in and while talking tells the camera the traction control really takes the fun out of the car so he switches it off and starts drifting all over the place end result: fastest jounalist to ever drive round their circuit.

Good old Tiff Needall:D

Thought the Enzo looked a lot nicer on TV than it does in mags too, much smaller and more purposeful looking IMHO :)

Seemed relatively nippy too :rolleyes: :D

Yeah that was great. Love the enzo too. Thought that ferrari looked a bunch of idiots for all the rules blah blah.... Still it was good that tiff was only 4 sec slower than the test driver and he only got 5 laps! that guy drives them every day. What a job that would be :eek:

It was funny watching it - I've been on a few motorbike launches and they're exactly like that. Lots of waiting around for the Germans to do their pics. Belgians/cloggies going very slowly. Brit journos causing trouble and not following instructions. Only thing he missed was sticking it into a gravel trap/concrete wall. And burnouts.

Wonder if he got blind drunk later and shagged some Ferrari-supplied hookers? Letting the side down if not.:)

I like the steering wheel :)

Erm......ok, the rest of the car was OK I suppose ;)

Thought it was brilliant when Tiff switched off the Traction control :D
