I found one in the south west when fetching my mum back to Housey towers. Best to get the testing out the way first, she gets all punchy and competitive else, especially after a few gins.A50L is the best runway
It’s a rapid car in them too but road surface needs to be decent. Less you forget this thing laps the Ring quicker that a 991.1 GT3 so M4 gonna die there too. This old mans pace is probably a limiting factor these days mind

haha I did not for a second mean the GT-R, I meant the C63!
Your car is a super car, it’s a different league. You just can’t carry girls and camera equipment.
Ah yes
Really like the seats in the car, pretty much the best seats I’ve had in a car. All shapes and sizes find them comfortable and even my 82 year old mum was happy after a 4 hour trip in them, though getting her out wasn’t a work of moments 
Well probably time for an update as I close in on 10,000 miles.....
I have had the car less than 4 months and in that time I have covered 6,000 miles! I have always used my cars and though this is my only car at present I don't really go anywhere much outside of getting in and driving for fun, oh and a mega Scotland escapade. Close to 1,400 miles of the most exciting roads I have ever experienced. Not the NC500, much much better...
Tonight I took time to wash the car properly and I am pleased to say the PPF has done an incredible job of protecting the front. Friends cars have been peppered but mine is pretty much paintwork fresh....though I do have 4 windscreen chips of which 2 will need work, a job for tomorrow.
During the Scotland trip I was able to compare it with other cars, some driven really well and some a little more sedately and I can say it was never found wanting at any point outside of wet roads. It made going fast easy and following a friend who is proper quick in a 650bhp E92 M3 was incredible. Watching his car at close quarters moving around as he was working really hard and mine rock solid. I can see why the car is so fast around a track it is incredible. In August I have and RMA Silverstone GP track day, Shelsley Walsh and likely a closed day or two at the Nurburgring, so can't wait.
Some images from Scotland, starting with 1 of the 2 lorries that brought my friends from London up.

First night parking at St Andrews worried me a little.... "Yea just park it in one of the bus spaces in the public car park by the sea front" got a "WTF" from me.......
I need not have worried as one of the lads had arranged for security to turn up and watch the cars all night! As one of my female friends said....."If Waitrose did dogging"
A few other shots....to come when Imgur stops playing up. There were 12-13 cars in total and it was a fantastic trip with hotels sorted for each night (one of which was rough as a bares bum) and lunch each day (including the finest Indian food I have had for a while and a boat house on a lock epic).

I will post up the route. We did not do the NC500, we did a far far far better driving route. I have done the NC500, this was MUCH better. If you want to take a steady pace, stop, admire and take it all in at leisure then NC500. If you want to drive and drive at pace (within the law of course.....) then our route. Each day was better than the next and some were turn around and do it again good.It's another world...I'm very jealous
A couple of friends and I have been talking about doing the NC500. Not in such exotic metal of course, but I get the feeling it would be amazing to do in anything.
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
A couple of the chaps did all the hard work, taking a route another friend had done a while back, adding in hotels, transport, flights to and from Scotland, lunch etc and it was just incredible. We had a full itinerary and also used an App that allowed for the route and waypoints to be added so we followed the exact route. I promise if you follow this route you will be amazed by the roads which are just incredible.

Looks like an epic trip! Security for the convoy sounds hilarious, but I’d definitely want peace of mind with that calibre of car! Hope you enjoyed!
St Andrews seems a decent place. There were loads of people there, phones everywhere but all were well mannered and friendly. I personally had 4 different people sitting in my cars drivers seat, taking photos and videos and so did others. Looks on peoples faces when you wave them over and say "dive in" is great. Big part of the ownership experience. There for the grace of God go I etc. I was the kid excited by the fast cars, right of passage if I can let kids, mums and dads get close.

Just a petrol head really. One woman at Balmoral was ace. She came over nearly in tears. "This is my dream car, you can forget all the other cars, the Mercedes AMG GT R is my dream car". In she gets, husband and son "she is mad for them, posters, magazines, made her day you have". Took her phone, videos, pics, she was in her element. Nice to do that, well I think so.
Yes. Left home 8:30am Wednesday, picked my mate up in Cannock, drove to Keel for 10am rendezvous with few other Midlands lads and then we all head up, me leading the convoy at pace but nothing crazy, got to St Andrews around 4ish and in bar around 4:01ish
