Oh absolutely! But given your (entirely proper) wish for privacy what you post in the future should probably not give detail like in the past which without any speculation confirms your name and job. I won't post it here just to prove that but some fool might.
I'm not fussed mate, I'm simply not that interesting ! Just a car nut smile

I like your P1 apart from the wing sticker, but I appreciate it. Its your car, your rules, you can do what you want. smile

Also I really don't get why people try and find out personal information about you, its so weird lol.

BTW I'm not sure if you remember, but back in Feb we both gave each other the thumbs up outside Harrods. I was in a black R8 V10 Plus. smile Took a pic and tagged you on insta but you've prob not seen it as my account is private.

Anyway all the best mate.

Not really. People see a relatively young bloke who has a collection of top supercars worth several million quid. It's human nature to be inquisitive about what they do or how they got the funds to buy and run them.

It's something again to come straight out and just ask 'what do you do?' on a forum though. The best practice is just to ignore and people should get the message that it's not a welcome question.

That said you don't exactly have to be Inspector Morse to find out who Woppum is or what he does in a few mins on Google.

Back to the cars - Has the GTO gone now?

It's a tough life - 1st world problems and all that wink

Random question but do you run classics as well as modern day supercars? Miura, 288 GTO, that sort of thing?

No idea either.. It's not my P1, house or part of the country I live in. I wont discuss my personal life on here, why should I. I am afraid any jibberish quoted will have to stay speculation. A sad state of affairs if you ask me on a car forum. I stupidly thought that was what we were here to discuss. Happy to chat all things cars but nothing personal.
Any interest in the p1 gtr/lm?

Never googled myself God knows what Google says. I'm a trader these days if you really have to know and loving the volatility. Those that are negative well:




GTO is for sale as I don't use it but not sold yet.
No not bothered about classics at the moment as I just don't have the time. Like cars I can track smile

I couldn't care less what you do. Just nice to see your cars and see them being driven as they should be.

GTO prices seem mental at the moment. Low mileage RHD's are up as much as £900K which is the same as a good F40.

Mine is the black left hand drive car with DK at £465k. Cheapest on the market and I think a fair price. I'll keep it if doesn't sell.

Fair enough,

No interest in the LaFerrari to make the hyper "3" ?

Not at today's prices. Plus they are hard cars to maintain and between the P1 and the 918 I don't think it would get a look in. I'd rather the money.

A quick question, if this has been asked before I apologise.

I have seen a number of pics and videos of your P1 being driven in track mode on the street, isn’t the car supposed to be illegal in track mode on the street and if this is the case does that not invalidate your insurance?

No idea. It handles totally different in race mode, it's amazing how the car totally changes its set up. It has to be done.

Hahaha Yes ANJUM biggrinbiggrinbiggrinrofl

I know who Woppum is driving , as I ,like some on here, was inquisitive. However it is not my place to say and in reality doesnt matter. He's a chap who has the means, and has petrol running through his veins so who gives a fook?

I like the WopP1, not everything is to MY tasted - but in reality our opinions don't matter so long as you're happy with the product/outcome!

In relation to race mode its illegal in race mode due to ride height effecting what would happen if he hit a pedestrian rather than insurance per se but Im sure in the event of a claim it would void on those grounds.
Plenty of owners in the US drive them round in race mode on the public road... besides on some tracks you can't use it in race mode either!
