Thanks guys for comments. RufMD's comment left me speechless...Quite a dream garage, real sports cars like F40 and CGT are the best!
There's only one F40 (in ex- rally driver's collection) and one CGT in Finland.

Thanks Preppy, yeah those Bimmers are nice cars! (I believe you are from the bf.com?)....got a BMW myself too, it's the Z in the pic.
Too bad the pic was taken with my cheap cam, so the hi-res version isn't nice at all, here's the link for you: http://www.tavakka.com/DSC05227.jpg

They aren't anything compared to your pics! I'll find out are there more pics from our little meet, my signature link has some other pics of those cars...

By the way, a bit strange thing happened, I installed the V-Flow and drove to a track day:

The costs:
EVO V-Flow ~$795
Shipping to Finland ~$200
Taxes outside the EU ~$100
Skipping a party the day before ~Priceless
A day off for the track day ~Something
(The gasoline costs like $5.4/gallon here!)
Driving over 100 miles to the track day and back in the pit stop after first easy laps the CEL goes on ~DAMN!!

I was quite pissed off and didn't have any tools with me...
After an hour or so I tried to "boot" the car. In my opinion it goes like this:
- Disconnect the battery cable, put the ignition on for 1 minute, then put the ignition off for 2 minutes (the key still in place)
Well after that the CEL disappeared! I started to drive and no problems! Too bad I don't have an ODB-reader...no idea what the CEL was.

I didn't have time to check the disappeared code at the dealer before next event, anyway during the next event (was today) the CEL went on too...not immediately but after one track session when the car was idling. If it isn't the MAF (car drives okay) I wonder are the o2-sensors getting some strange reading because of heat or race cats? Anyway decided to tell this because quite many have had some kind of problems, but I won't complain about the V-Flow until I get this sorted out...nice product!

Here's a pic from the latest track day with girls,


ps. The car's really FUN to drive with good rubber (Corsas) and suspension! =)

Some more from local Ahvenisto race track:







I'm a 100% Porsche fan but I like and respect all cars and drivers that can go fast. That’s why sometimes we have quite a broad selection of cars in the events (Usually I attend to private days but bigger events like the one held in yesterday are also fun.)

Anyway that particular day was a sad day for one fellow who had built a Nissan 200SX S14A the whole winter. Now it was finally ready. And after 3 first laps he lost it:















He knows how to drift...but with completely new suspension setup etc. it didn't last long. It's a bit dangerous track so it wasn't the only car that took hit (also Sierra Cosworth and E39 M5).

The CEL problem is solved, it was only a bit loose MAF connector.

Apparently, there was a shy photographer from an old Peugeot specializing to "rear views" if you look closely to up left in this pic:
