Quick blast on way out this evening, I don't think I'll ever get tired of that V12...

Great first impressions. You could probably fill a book describing how this car has moved the game on.

Presumably the custom fitted seat didn't cause ant comfort issues?
No issues at all, and that's probably why its so comfortable, as its made to measure! Its great being able to move the peddle box to suit too.

You'd better stay off the pies in that case - otherwise you may not fit in it!

Seriously though, stunning car, good on you for ragging it from day1 judging by the video. I bet you were grinning like a Cheshire Cat.

Hope to see it at VMax, and you can always use the black wheels for winter tyres too.

Brilliant!

Is it true that you have to plug in a trolley-case-sized battery conditioner every few days to maintain the warranty? This would compromise Euro trips somewhat.

I would guess that is an early attempt at a PH urban myth (eg 456 bonnets are fifty grand) and only applies if the car is not being used

There is a charger that looks like a 1980s hoover which you do need to plug in if you are not using the car for more than a few days. Bizarrely this actually de-charges the batteries to 50% and then also controls the air con to keep them at a constant temperature. If you are using the car every other day you don't need to plug it in. Looking at how aggressively the batteries charge when driving there must be some serious heat generated.

Great stuff, car looks and sounds the business. Do you like the steering wheel, or would you prefer a fully round one?

The LF is ugly as sin, but it does howl like a beauty. Nice purchase.
