Go Adam! Their Forza set-up definitely needed some work (not inked and some dummy mode where the cars were auto braking).

The Jewel of the show.

John and Simon scored this S14 for their LA stay. I was quick to grab a ride just for the experience!

Yeah roads are pretty damn fucked up in LA!!!

shakeshack_burger
And back to Shake Shack to try their normal ShackBurger and awwwww yeah, super dirty, tasty, the complete opposite to In-N-Out’s much cleaner burger, but I love it!

Last day in the US, we checked out the Petersen Automotive Museum, just 20 minutes drive from our hotel. On show was ‘The Art of Bugatti’, but we went straight for the vault tour!

No photos allowed in the Vault Tour, such a shame as there were some pretty amazing cars underground, the one-of-one 1925/34 ‘Round Door’ Rolls, a Mercedes used by Sadam Hussein and much more.

Well worth checking out if you have a few hours to burn. I couldn’t get my eyes off the McLaren F1, even going back to level 2 to check it out twice.

    That Rothmans 962, OMFG!! I had the R/C version when I was a kid and everyone else had Jet Hoppers. That thing was crazy fast, and on proper slicks too!
