Apologies for continuing to be off topic but I'd love to see some pictures of that car when it arrives. Sadly getting a hold of a tdf was pretty tricky or impossible in our case.

If you think about the opening post we are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off topic! Lol...

I love that - but will it suit the cars rather more aggressive nature? (e.g. its not a crazy colour).
When are you off to the atelier?

Fair point, but I tend to use less in-ya-face colours (if one can include Rosso Corsa). Besides as my current thinking for the TDF was good enough for a wonderful Le Mans road-racer, it's plenty aggressive for me Anyway that's it for here. Why don't you start an F12 TDF thread? Plently more to come.

All non-red Ferraris are cool.

For everyone saying he doesn't use his cars as he should you clearly don't know him very well. When he had his 12C he did a couple of pure McLaren events at Silverstone and Spa. He was only given access to the track for a photo shoot so he couldn't open it up. He was not driving the FF for the most part. Another person who works for the shmee150 brand and was not used to the car. He also drove a 918 over 200mph on the autobahn and who else puts 3000 miles from gumball on there cars and does various vmax events

Well all of those that compete in the Gumball do that kind of milage so what’s your point?

Can you please point me to the 200mph 918 run on the autobahn please as I have not seen that

[footsoldier]

Umm, none of the cars in that video are owned by Shmee...what's your point?

[dang2407]

There's nothing clever or brave about doing 200mph on the autobahn in a modern car. Foolish, yes because it wouldn't take much for someone to change lanes in front of you...

I've just watched that video and there is no evidence that proves Shmee was driving the Porsche 918 at 200mph as we can't see who is driving, we can't see anything that would indicate he is behind the wheel and he doesn't speak.?

I take my cars to Europe at least twice a year. Does that mean I'm allowed an opinion?

Last time I was on an unrestricted Autobahn I did 150mph, I felt incredibly heroic.
Then I was passed by an indiscriminate black Mercedes as if I was standing still.
