Not got my hands on it yet so can’t say but I don’t think it alters roof up or down.

Could be wrong

But how are you going to do a tip run in the sunshine if it takes up half the load area.... ?
it’s an important car buying criteria Bertie.....


I have a folding hard top bmw 4 series. There a lot of roof to fit in the boot,but it’s surprisingly usable.

I remember some years ag picking up 2 x 20kg bags of sand from Wickes once in my Lamborghini... got a few funny looks

Lovely looking car. Very nice.

O/T I've seen a Mclaren outside the local Lidl a few times.

Class! Did improve the handling at all?


(Isn’t there a history of some racing cars needing ballast in the form of concrete bags some years ago?)

Think that was the Ford Capri.

Early 911 I think

Stunning! Love the 812 GTS. In the nicest way, I hope they depreciate as fast as the coupe so I can afford one in a year or two!

My first car in the mid 1980’s, Fiat 850 Sports Coupe, needed a concrete block in the boot (which was in the front) to keep the front wheels planted at “speed”. Otherwise steering got fairly vague as tyres weren’t always on the surface of the road.

Sorry! Every time I see one I think about how long til they’re affordable for me! Love the spec you’ve gone for, especially the seats enjoy it! Hopefully have some good weather and can get the roof down soon

[Djit]

It is stunning. Congratulations. I was thinking of taking the plunge on a coupe but the GTS is making that move a very difficult decision. One main dealer who will remain anonymous has offered me a GTS slot if I take a used Coupe from them now.

Update...car has been delivered to the detailer for prep and PPF.

Went and saw it today, really pleased with the way it’s turned out.

So getting close to getting behind the wheel soon, roll on the sun!

Wow!

Congratulations! Enjoy in hood health.
