Company directors and their super cars.

My Spyder display is in C, so it is definitely possible. I think it is in vehicle settings, accessed from the main screen......push the right round knob to get the drop down menu.......go to configuration.....then you can change language,miles/km,gal/liters/and temperature......hope this helps......

And my spyder is a manual

Thanks, but I believe the screen was deleted with the change from 4200 to the GS variant (certainly I don't have one - just three big aircon etc control dials and then a smaller radio/CD player between the clock and start/hazard/sport/MSP and window control button panel).

At the risk of sounding like a dick, it's not showing and an E is it? Mine reads in C unless it throws a minor wobbler, at which point it shows an E for error. It soon sorts itself out though.

No, the gear is a large letter / number above, then a slender line, then the temperature (changing appropriately, but, although I remember l.s.d. as a child - the currency; the psychedelic is still around - I've little concept of Farenheit), followed by the small uppercase o for degrees and an F... I've not got the paper manual, though I've a thick one for the sound system, and the car manual I found online is the USA version so they've no interest in degrees C! I'll see if there is a continental manual online.

Perhaps a proper Company director would know not only how to run a company but also how to change the temperature reading!

I work in software (sales and marketing side). I'm a "director" but only in terms of job title. I don't own the company or anything. It's a big silicon valley success story. I'm the only person in the entire team that runs a supercar (or did, I just sold the 430). there are others in the company that make a lot more money than i do, but they still don't have a supercar.

You have to be a petrolhead to want a supercar, I have friends that could easily afford to spend 5x what thy do on cars but just see them as transport , where fuel economy is more important than looks or performance.

I'd never buy a supercar, I like looking at them but have no ambition to own one, a Maserati Quattroporte or Granturismo however is top of the shopping list if I ever get the money

Only if it was a prancing one. Actually a horse nowadays could cost you more to buy and 'maintain' than a Ferrari! We have 'horsey' people in our family and the last one they bought cost more than my Lambo. Stabling fees, vets bills, insurance, feed, farriers, dentists etc - I'd rather have an annual service bill on the car and the odd repair.

Indeed - you never see a poor vet.

Stocks and shares. Buy low, sell high.

I don't drive a supercar, because i like driving cars from the 90's that don't work most of the time, this is because I enjoy them.

And you're a nutter
