Re: Ferrari F40 Modificanta
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. Fant...

https://i.ibb.co/RSdsKjy/IMG-6609.jpg @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 effort though!

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
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: https://s1.cdn.autoevolution.com/images/news/bmw-m2-becomes-hot-pocket-rocket-milltek-sport-has-premium-exhaust-for-it-217964-7...

Re: Real Housewife of Cheshire
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 warranty ...

Real Housewife of Cheshire
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 da...

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

Re: New M2?
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. https://media.techeblog.com/images/2023-bmw-m2-leak-zaandvort-blue.jpg I’m guessing they’ve gone for the vertical reflectors to try and visu...

Re: New Merc C63 AMG
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 values ar...

Re: Your fleet running reports
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 n...

Re: Harry’s Garage
Friend of mine spotted Harry in the Chiron presumably whilst filming this. Apparently the road presence it carries is unparalleled.
Love it.

Re: Your fleet running reports
Exige After its service and MOT at the start of December, the Exige has been tucked away for winter. I’d organised to have it out for an extended run the first time this year on Saturday, and was more than a little anxious as to whether attempting to move it for the first time in 4 months would go ...

Re: 911 EOTR (Literally)
Gutted to hear this, but glad everyone is OK.
Followed a Maser GT a few weeks ago and the two main thoughts were (i) they’re huge, and (ii) they sound fabulous.

Re: I am pretty sure that the original Elan only exists…
To redress the balance, you need to start parking next to Porsches instead.
