Price after options is stoopid.

It does seem rather nippy though, and seats look funky. Kick in the arse off 1700kg, so no lightweight.

So 1985kg with you onboard?

Cheeky fucker - I have lost weight. 1983kg.

Just makes me want the 296 more,.. and the 458 Speciale Aperta!

Dave!

Better

Half a mill is just stupid.

I love Harry's videos but there is one thing that really bugs me (and he's not alone in doing it)... dropping the definite article before the model name, e.g. "The thing I love about Project 8", instead of the thing I love about the Project 8. I know its car marketing / designer speak but it really grates. They're cars, not abstract concepts!

Still not as annoying as Americans that say x number of "copies" of a car were built.

Rant over

The new one in his video is ugly but I think it’s mostly just bad speccing.

Looking forward to this one. The old RRS is better looking that the new one but after seeing a couple of the new FFRR in the flesh I’ll be after one in a couple of years I think - looks great

Don't think anyones' posted this one and it's one of his best trips I think, proper adventure

I wasn’t interested enough to do more than scan that, but that’s the best opening 5seconds in an HG vid for a while

V12 Vantage review generally very positive. I much prefer the car after watching this than I did before.

The spec of this one (and all the others I've seen pics of) isn't my cup of tea, but I specced one up on the configurator with no carbon, wing delete and no graphics and it looks good.

when I click those links, there is a "download" button on the bottom right side of the page which generates a jpg that appears in my downloads folder - is that what you mean?

Nope I've already got them on my phone, I uploaded them to the ov9 gallery to try to embed them in my post but can't work out how to do that... Anyway I've done it through Imgur now,I know how to do it from there

The 911 update is very interesting.

Litchfield element is

The fuel economy thing is still a bit suspicious. How did he get his distances wrong by a factor of nearly 2 in Spain? 11pm would still only be 17.6mpg on that basis too.

17mpg whilst thrashing it round the mountains is fine though.

Enjoyed that 930 vid. Special car indeed.

I don’t think his entire Spain trip was thrashing it round the mountains, and IIRC that was his mpg throughout.

Edit unfortunately Johnny's buggered the sound again so the ads will blow up your speakers
