Thanks for posting your pics. Is it still a three seater or is one side now occupied with that console full of switches? Also, what do all those switches do?

thanks

2 and a half seats smile

I don't have a clue what the switches do... they did look very cool though!

Have you zoomed in on your original hi res photo to see what the text is above each switch?

thanks

It's pretty hard to make out the labels, but a few of the switches are:
Start
screen heat
Lights
Rain light
Wiper
Horn
Side/24hrs
Headlamp stuff
Display
Fire system (see, Ferrari could learn a thing or two from McLaren hehe)

Excellent pics. I love the panned shots which you seem to have got down to a fine art. What camera/lens combo do you use and has Photoshop action blur been brought into play?

I think those in the 6x4 square are the fuses, and those above and to the right are switches.

Great photos and some interesting angles, well done.

Must pester Andy for a ride in it. Will offer him a spin in my GT4 in return... that should swing it. biggrin
