Superfluous not sulfurous.. imperceivable not imperceivably, and can't see us ever not can see us ever. Just helping out, not being an arse 😁

Very good read, cheers πŸ‘ Congratulations on being the owner of the best looking Senna I've seen ;)

Good Read, agree with SF that the colour choice certainly flatters the Senna's unique styling.

To solved your road trip luggage problem I think a few ski racks between the roof and swan neck spoiler uprights should do the trick :D

Appreciated, I'm using a new editor (which I hate) and the rough draft got posted, not the corrected copy. Should be fixed now.

I think the air flow coming down around the engine bay would probably make that impractical. Easier solution is to just take 2 cars.

The guy I knew who won the lotto never carried luggage for trips over a few days - He would courier his luggage directly too and from the hotel.

In the 1960s an American chap unfavourably compared R-R silver Cloud luggage capacity with his Cadillac. The R-R rep quietly pointed out that a gentleman sends his luggage on by rail. :oops:

How many miles did you do in the year then? You hint that it's less than you'd thought but more than the P1.

I rarely check luggage even when we fly so using a courier service........very unlikely.

Not quite accurate. My grandfather owned a late 60's RR, the reason you send you luggage ahead by rail is you will also eventually arrive by rail after your RR "fails to proceed"

Happened often then? :lol: I’ve heard some stories about RR trying to keep people happy after a failure.

All the time. He bought a Mercedes as a chase car to pick them up when the RR died.

R-Rs never die! They may, on occasion, fail to live on. :lol:

Believe me, they die and sometime try to take you with them. One of the one's he owned had an electrical fire in one of the doors and I was in the car when it started smoking.
