I fell out of love with expensive cars, work with them everyday as I used to they become like everything else. Shortly after this I re kindled my love for bikes. Fraction of the cost & faster. Also more involving & fun IMO but that's personal taste & they aren't for everyone.
I see what you're...
If it was me, i'd purchase another engine & build it up properly over time whilst keeping the current engine in (if it lasts) until the new engine is done.
Can see why you'd say that.
I imagine the P1 would be a much better all round car though. Not taking anything away from the Hennessey, but they've strapped a flux capacitor to a lotus pretty much.
I could strap a rocket to my clio, but it still wouldn't be a mclaren.
Imagine that green set up would be bad for heat soak.
I thought the general concensus was that most standard induction set ups result in loss of power..
Agreed. I'd love to run an Aston, but to have an Aston & no house, I wouldn't & couldn't do it.
I appreciate the live your life whilest you're young & that's fine we all make our own choices, but I see a lot of people who've done just that, that now they're older they have bugger all because...
It's just what you get used to.
You could drive a Zonda everyday & that would become the norm. But I know what you mean, my 200 feels like a rocket ship after I've got out of the gf's polo.
Argue the toss with the insurance about the price they give you.
They will try and offer you sh*t money, do your research and see what it would cost to physically go out & buy the same car again then take it up with them.
Depends how often you sit in traffic or need to do hill starts lol.
Paddle clutches are even worse, feel like putting in a whiplash claim after road use.
Fair point, I have read the article however & failed to see anything regarding what you've said, but it wouldn't be the first time something had been missed out.
Haha no worries, not sure what you mean by oh wait...
If weather or standing water was involved then fair enough, loads of billy's bin it from aquaplaning, usually because they panic & hit the anchors lol.
My 200 took about three months from memory, turned up a little earlier than they planned.
I don't think the new EDC car takes as long to build as the old shape though..
In my op, the 197 for everyday use will be easier to live with & be just as fun for the most part.
But then that very much differs depending on your views..
