Really now....

Seriously, it was something we debated as it wasn't initially on my list. It is one option that can't be retrofitted and just about all the owners are checking the box for. Net net, even though it might seem a bit daft, it is pretty much becoming a must have on a Senna.

From an actual practical standpoint, living now in a place where you can fry an egg on a car hood in the summer, it will be a nice option to have when taking the car out on the track.
did I read correctly that it’s $6700 for this nice option?

Six thousand, seven hundred and ten

I'm sure my opinion on the matter is of no significance to you whatsoever

When you say it is become a "must have" because all owners are checking the box are you suggesting that the car would be looked down on in resale terms if it didn't have it?

I do admit it makes more sense in a hot climate though only really necessary if you can't/don't spec air conditioning. Is A/C an option?

Posted: **Thu May 31, 2018 1:48 pm**

I’m sure you’d lose $5000 off the resale without it...

Posted: **Thu May 31, 2018 1:53 pm**

So 'net net' only $1710 then

I'll stop winding SSO up now I promise.

Worth it for that one track session when you get a squirt of liquid refreshment half way through the session, then when you find how much hassle it is to clean/dry and never use again!

Fill it with beer and let your wife drive you home from the pub to get your money's worth

After the 12C they bastardised the design to make it fit the corporate logo and P1 front and after that they sent every subsequent car to the ugly tree to have every stick thrown at it by the wind tunnel.
Err 675LT is stunning. End of. Thread closed.

Thread re-opened to just say that Chunky Dunky Is Correct.

Having read all his articles on evo and his blogs I got the impression he is American.

£6710 for a bottle and a straw with a button? Wow. I thought £400 odd for some black plastic on a SEAT was daft.

Was the stripe on a scuderia not silly as well, price wise at least?

Correct, definitely Anglican. Believe it had something to do with a disagreement with one Charles Stuart.

- Sir should really consider adding the push to drink option, all our other customers are including it, and you'd not want to be the owner of the one Senna without that option, would you?

<repeat for all options>

Posted: **Fri Jun 01, 2018 3:27 pm**

If I'm testing around Abu Dhabi or some equally hot trackday venue I've shipped my £1m track car to, I'm going to be pi55ed if I haven't spec'd the push to drink option. Especially considering it's probably chump change from 'my' perspective
