    Hi there Already done 700 miles in the Alpine in a week, today was a real bonding session in the car going for a very early drive out around Wales, this car is something else, in the wet the grip levels are nothing short of immense and I am yet to do the alignment setup which is supposedly a...

    Could be neighbours that get along or the same guy owns both houses and is doing it up.

    Alpine event so a lot of Alpines: Decent event and got to drive all models on track very glad I got an S as found the regular model too soft on track, the R was very good but would need more seat time.

    Cyptolambo 2 is dead.... kindai goes car shawping

    Yeah the V10 is one of the best but I always disliked the R8, particular the newer R8 v10 S-Tronic models at anything under 100mph they were not engaging at all, exact same issue as Huracan as well as a car to enjoy on the road as in driving it you need to be going at rather illegal speeds to...

    Cyptolambo 2 is dead.... kindai goes car shawping

    After been sat with @kindai on the McLaren test drives and the smile on his face and the giggles I’ll be shocked if it’s not a 570S to be honest and at under 100k I don’t think there is anything better. Simply a true supercar and my second guess is R8, whatever it is am looking forward to some...

    Be interesting what you think, I was somewhat disappointed and I'd not be touching one with all the issues, they will be under 50k in another year I reckon. No way I'd take an Emira over a GT4 personally and I really wanted to love the Emira.....

    They aint worth it, you can buy a 410 now for 65k, same car practically for 30k less and they are literally so similar or get a 350 for 45k and go all out Komotec upgrades but I don't think it is @kindai cup of tea as somewhat compromised as a road car.

    Other set of wheels turned up these are basically identical to the wheels on car just more spokes are diamond cut. In short identical wheels original set are called GT Race and these are called Grand Prix. As the car came on GT Race with Michelin Cup 2 215/40/18 and 245/40/18 tyres I did not...

    Yes Alpine London prep was nothing short of astonishing, before my collection they did: - Fuel pump recall done - Major service even though it was only 300 miles since its previous service - Full paint correction machine polish - Full tank of Shell Vpower Robert was nothing short of...

    Here it is: Alpine A110S Aero with every option, crazy at £85,000 list price but got it for a whisker over 50k. Got the full suede interior pack and for what is such a light car (1100kg) it feels so upmarket on the inside not a single rattle/creak or anything and a surprisingly good...

    I truly enjoyed my few days with Artura was a truly fabulous car to drive and the electric mode was perfect for towns and traffic and all out sport/track for decent A/B roads. Can’t agree on sound though thought it sounded pants compared to my 600 LT and lacked the drama which was a shame. New...

    Yep, far too many of them in circulation, so a massive over supply in used market, so buyers can either be super aggressive, or wait for the absolute perfect spec to crop up, no need to rush.

    Dropped the 600 off with McLaren over a week ago for its 4th year major service and MOT: - Major service: £1300 - Brake fluid change: £250 - MOT: £55 Also leaving car with them to repair some corrosion under warranty, good timing as we’re currently on holiday getting some Winter Sun for a...

    I did see this and though wow but having owned a Vantage they are simply not in the same league as your AV or a McLaren and if I was going Aston I’d go Vanquish for the better ZF gearbox and even more stunning looks.

    Lloyds is the official body shop for Ferrari and McLaren in North West, potentially Aston and Lambo too so they are good and highly rated. For me I’d be buying it for asking but only upon: - all paint defects corrected and a perfect job - Passing a McLaren inspection with any major requirements...
