Couple more RPM to squeeze out of it! what was your max speed?
330km/h / 205mph was the quickest I got out of it and that was backing off because of traffic ahead. There is an electronic limiter set somewhere just above that but I couldn't tell you exactly where but it doesn't let you get to the very top of the revs.Shmee said:

Shmee, is that really the case regarding numberplate in Germany becoming void for 10 years?
Whats to stop someone just pulling a plate off any old car and voiding someones out or spite or somthing?
There isn't the same value to a German 'vanity plate' as there is over here, just the hassle of some paperwork in replacing it, so like it's saying "what's to stop someone putting a brick through the window out of spite".Whats to stop someone just pulling a plate off any old car and voiding someones out or spite or somthing?

Also german license plates are considered legal documents and tampering with them is considered forgery.
I didn´t know they were blocked for 10 years which seems a bit long but I knew you´d have to get a different one and report yours as stolen / missing.

There was no noticeable loss of earnings on that video at all; I would say it hit the same RPM as anything else at current. On the other hand, for whatever reason that video did not get a huge amount of views in total so it's not easily comparable.
I'm sure that YouTube promote videos that earn them more; although they might not admit to it. I.e. a video connected to high rate advertisers gets naturally more views as well as more revenue, than something that's less easily connected to adverts.
I think you were at the same TVR reveal as I was, vaguely remember you, remembered your car more (only discovered video blogging, when you were videoing the TVR at Goodwood (who the hell is this guy, talking to his camera I thought?)I'm sure that YouTube promote videos that earn them more; although they might not admit to it.

that aside, when did you put your order for a Griffith in? presumably at least before the reveal you went to, which means, you might get hold of a car quite early for review? (ie date of deposit - order of production)

It did 5+ years ago but I guess I'm completely normalised now to all sorts of strange spellings. Most phones will autocorrect it to 'Ahmed' too which is always funny.
Dangerous to admit the Ahmed thing on here you will forever more be referred to as Ahmed on here.Anyway here's some inspiration for you next purchase
Don't get the hump over it.

Wasn't the 675 LT maxing out at about the same speed? Any discernible difference in stability / down force between the 2 that you recall?
Correctly remembered, the 675LT Spider was on Vmax at 324km/h and had nothing more to give from there, so let's assume the AMG GT R would be somewhere around 10-12km/h faster on a similar power output. Fundamental differences from my experience were the LT brought significantly more drama to it which no doubt comes from the view over the shorter front end, increased vibration and noise and being right on the very top.My assumption would be the LT topped out sooner due to more aero drag which plays huge factors at that speed, however both actually felt equivalently stable. Although I'd have expected the GT R to be more of a wanderer, it is an incredibly wide car with huge tyres on all 4 corners and that must play a role as well.
