Thank you.

It was a good trip, I will be definitely be in a something different next time.

Enjoy your trips to all those planning one!

Still can't get over Mont Blanc, stunning.
What are you planning on Brad?
That's a good question Scott. The McLaren 720S was my first thought but I won't order a car blind and London McLaren still don't have a demonstrator yet.
I went up to Ferrari at the weekend and drove a 488, very special car and cheap (relatively speaking of course) but I'd want the Spider and that's a 2 year waiting list. I don't really fancy paying a 50 grand premium to pick up a used one either.

Then I thought sod it, get into a couple of year old Aventador for a bit while waiting for whatever comes next to be built (my budget is 300k ish and I don't really want it to start the inevitable creep!) but Aventador shopping seems to be a bit of a minefield and definitely not something to be rushed.

Then there's always a nice Speciale.

I fancy a change but probably the most prudent and sensible thing to do would be to order something new and just stick with the 650S. It was recently serviced, had new tyres was retrofitted with the soft door closers and still has a years warranty so it would cost me very little to run for the next 12 months.

Trouble is, nothing about buying a Supercar involves prudence or sense so the nagging "want" gets ever louder!

Whatever path I take I'm extremely fortunate to have the choice.
