Great colour combination ,the silver with red interior set off by the yellow calipers and Challenge wheels.

Nothing not to like,

Did the NC500 last week though this shot was from the Cairngorms on the way up. Probably the best driving part of the trip. Car behaved impeccably though we did incur a couple of nose scrapes.

I'm going to cheat and put up a pic of my V6 Ferrari.

V6? Controversial. Looks great though. The 296 looks so much more cohesive than the recent designs.

Not quite the mountain passes but a good drive on the quiet(ish) Cotswold roads today.

From our recent road trip to the south of France, I will give a full report soon I promise! 🏁

Nice shot. As flashy backgrounds go, that's up there.

Couldn't resist showing my one from a trip with friends back in September.

Brilliant 3 week road trip to Garda last year 4 up with the kids via Germany & Austria. The car was faultless.

It's a beautiful colour that Jay.... What colour and model is it? - 30?

Looks like Gricio Silverstone but could be wrong. Lovely colour nevertheless.

Thank you.

Yes it's a Grigio Titanio 2014, 30 edition with the HS package. Did a lap of the ring on the way back to the UK. To say the car was excellent was a total understatement. i have spent a lot of time on my sim at home lapping the ring and this was so good I thought the Karousell had been resurfaced!

Did some research on Gemini AI and apparently on the HS editions, not only was a faster suspension ECU fitted to effectively deal with the bumps before they reach the body of the car, but the E-Diff was re-tuned to work with the faster steering rack. Such composure that increases the faster you went. Wish I did a few more laps to be fair.

Was a brilliant summer evening, after the ring closed at 7.30 pm, a leisurely drive on the country roads around it down to the town to grab some beers was bliss. Roof down, engine purring and the sun setting with temperature in the late 20's.

I haven't ever sampled a pre-30 edition so don't know how they compare but I am never selling this. So practical for long trips. We had 2 rucksacks, 4 carry on suitcases and a load of other stuff dotted in the gaps. It's just such a great car, can't recommend highly enough, especially now prices have softened. Almost had it 4 years and done 9k miles so far.






Ugly boot pic but you get the idea.

That's so great that you did such a big trip with 4 people (even if two were very little) plus luggage. Obviously the roof couldn't go down en-route though, so if I may ask, how much could the boot fit it you had wanted to put the roof down?

I ask as I'm looking at sports convertibles for future road-trips, which will be 3-4 weeks and only two people, but I'd ideally like to have the roof down during the driving days between hotels and I'm struggling to find any that have good boot space with the roof down. I guess the cases could be moved from the boot into the car if there's no-one in the rear.

PS That's a beautiful colour for a California.

Yes its pretty easy. It would be two rucksacks behind where the suitcases go and 2x suitcases of that size. Then you would have a little bit of space for small soft bags.

Good thing about the Cali / Porto is the back rests flip down to create a flat shelf if you dont need rear seat use. Then you have a lot more space and also an opening to the boot if needed from inside.

Ultra practical and on the motorway cruising around 700 km from a tank of fuel!

Thanks for sharing Jay - The car looks stunning
