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
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

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.

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?
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.

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.
