I may also go for Boring Car Trivia 4, Richard Porter's new book which he spruiks on the excellent Smith n Sniff podcast.

Harris said the book is good

A couple of decades of hard work.

I just posted the annual update on all of our McLaren service costs and the reliability history across the 10 McLarens we have owned starting with the 12C through the 765LT Spider:

Any more suggestions?

Where do you think the market is heading?

So far, definitely worth the price

As you also don’t mention a ballpark cost in your update, I assume the price is appropriately aligned with the value of an F40?

It is......

Just had a few updates done on our Ferrari F40:

Thoughts? The ceramic brakes a good idea?

Even though the 911 always ends up as the best driving car and has performance well above what the performance suggests, they have turned a bit pudding like imo. The 930, 964, 993 and 996 all looked small and nimble. A car suited to b-roads. The 997 started the slightly heavy look and since then th...

I spent a bit of time recently with the Maserati leadership team. Here's my take away:

So you prefer the mid-engine, turbo'd car? Hardly a surprise considering your collection.. you may have a type! :D My order of preference (with limited/zero time in them) would be: 812 Competizione, F12, 296 GTS, 812. Side note: how can the 812 be the flagship when another standard car, the 296, ha...

I did not. He has a huge collection.

Just posted up a review of the Ferrari 812 Superfast and 296 GTB after spending several days with each:

One of them I really loved, the other was more like & respect.

Hard to see them stopping being a money press anytime soon although your comment on the companies "value" compared to a mass manufacture was interesting. If not too big to fail then maybe too cool? Will be very interesting to see how the brand adapts to EV. Shame they didn't seem to make ...

Here's my take on Ferrari's Q2 2023 Results and their business model:

Interesting stuff, the fact that the ***ercar price bubble seems to be holding is something to see as there's clearly no glut of "investors" distressed enough to want to clear their collection at unreserved price. Is it a game of value/leverage/collateral chicken or nobody with the ***erc...

Bin his son off the team and we’ll make him a king instead

Sadly, don't see that happening anytime soon.

You've had fun with that one :lol: It shouldn't but it still does surprise me that these huge companies like Mercedes just walk away from inflicting the punitive damages their contract with AML allowed for. Aversion to potential bad PR or just behind the scenes shenanigans? I can't say I get the sa...

Hope you enjoy:
