STOP fannying about and just get the V10 from the LFA shoehorned in.

Autobrite Magifoam which is cheap for 5l and will last years. Lovely and thick lifting dirt, pretty much sits on the paint until hosing off.

They only other one I tried was a Demon Shine cheapy which just ran off the car in a couple of minutes.


Bought the manual AG Snow Foamer and agree. It’s ...

Hullo everyone, me again…

GT4 RS

Having now owned the car for a few months and been able to put in a couple of thousand miles, I don’t really get what all the fuss is abo…who am I kidding, it’s absolutely incredible.

Annual trip up north at end of April really allowed me to acclimatise myself ...

Buy an Exige of any flavour. You absolutely won’t regret it.

Spent a few hours in it earlier in week schleping down the M6. Much more refined than the Exige

8-) Nice! Although is it really much quicker than the 430?

@Maurice too cool to talk to us now!? :cry:


Was afraid I’m not cool enough any more :cry:

Hello YBOC, long time etc.

Didn’t expect Mik to do a whole new post, but couldn’t have put it better myself really!

I absolutely loved my ...

Tanks seem like a very sensible swap.

I always assume steel rotors are most suited to road work, so very interesting to read your comments. Sound like a real upgrade. I wasn’t fully aware of DKEng until Maurice purchased his current Exige from them - they seem to be the global expert in F40’s ...

@duncs500 ‘xige will definitely fit in the boot this time.


8-) Lovely combo. Probably you can see so much further forward with the SVR that it's as handy as the 'xige for overtaking!


Slowing it down and positioning it post-overtake a little more ...

Spotted on the M5 this morning: new shape M2 in Zandvoort blue. Based on the stickers and Milltek-related numberplate I think it was this very car, Milltek's demonstrator:

Wow. Even more special than a Singer.

Thanks all!

GG. I’ve thought quite a bit about Ghost immobiliser as I had one on the Merc, however I’m a little more concerned with having to actually use the warranty on the Velar at some point given their less than stellar reputation. I worry that a third party immobiliser would void the ...

Hi, hello, hiya, sorry I’ve been quiet etc etc.

What better way to re-ingratiate myself with you lot than with details of a new motah.

I’ve had the C63 for a couple of years now and whilst it’s been faultless, I’ve had a niggling feeling the last few months that it’s a little too compromised as a ...

Very sad - gallows humour, but can’t help bringing to mind his various mock obituaries over the years.

RIP.

Silverstone with the carbon buckets.

Wildberry is the one.

I think the rear photo above is as a result of a particularly unflattering combo of angle and colour.

Albeit a render, I think the rear looks pretty good here.

I’m guessing they’ve gone for the vertical reflectors to try ...

Those V8s are going to hold their value really well in the face of this.


Mr @Maurice mentioned the same to me. (I wasn’t with him, but he was possibly gently caressing the steering wheel of his at the time…. :D )


Was reversing it into a hermetically sealed box whilst crossing fingers that ...

What with it being Easter Sunday and it being due new fronts next week, thought today was the perfect time to “resurrect” the Exige (LOL) and try and finish off the fronts.

Weather played ball and roads were mercifully quiet, which meant it was the first time I’ve meaningfully used Sport mode. I’m ...
