RL is the type of guy, that one person, one time PM'd him and that equates to people PM him all the time.

Bit like that other thread where he goes on about all the super cars he's ever owned, You would think it was in the dozens when in reality it's been 4.

Im actually surprised he hasn't mentioned his inbound Huracan PF on this post seeing as he feels the need to bleat on about it on every other thread, If I read the phrase "Glorious V10 roar" one more time... rofl
rofl Dozens isn't even close chap. You don't have a Scooby doo. I've probably had more than you have had hot dinners rolleyes

Hi OP

One important point is to keep the car on the trickle charger as often as possible.

Sat Nav is quite good at times.. (In Europe)

Heres a 540C Ice silver, Diamond Cut alloys. Alcantara Interior with orange.smile

Had my 570s for a year. 11,000 miles, 1 service, 4 tyres. It has been epic. Swap to Michelin Pilot Sport 4S when changing tyres. They are far better than the Pirelli. For UK owners insure with NFU - saved me nearly £1500. No issues to report.
v12v8, theres talk of the MPS4's sometimes rubbing the inside of the arches?

Do these offer more grip? I've had mine mapped and getting traction in lower gears can sometimes be challenging...

Apparently so. Quite a few 570 owners say that they're night and day to the PZero's but some also say that they rub on occasion.

Thanks Al,

I suppose you could combat this with the addition of spacers if it was that big a deal, I'll report back in the spring with my findings.

My understanding is there are no rubbing issues with PS4S on sports series, think rubbing occured on 12c and 650 especially when tracked (hence some owners fitted spacers)

Yes another sports series owner here on my second, can’t fault the cars.

Rubbing issues not on the sport series cars, it is on 12c/650s

You can run Michelin cup 2 ‘a as well on sports series front 245/30 rear 295/35 just waiting to wear through the P zeros.

Happy car hunting

I've just managed to purchase a used 540c, cannot wait to collect it and looking forward to some great road trips in it.

Even sadder when some muppet moans about RL and Y before they'd even put finger to keyboard.

Both you and Andrew directly attacked RL & Y yet neither of them had posted anything until you and Andrew goaded RL into a reply.
I see the action of a Troll rather than any humour in your post.

I'm sorry but who are you exactly? The PH police??

If you actively commented in all of the supercar sections and were aware of particular posting styles of said members, instead of wading in here on your moral high horse you would know that the comments were made with good reason and justification.

You've got it the wrong way round.

It was Reggae who said 'Don't let Yipper vs RamboLambo start again please'
Moan at him for trying to 'police' the thread.

I merely pointed out that both were being attacked for their comments yet neither of them had made any comments on this thread.

See RL's post above. He's owed 3 Ferraris, 1 Lambo and 2 Maccas. We know this because he goes on about them incessantly. If quizzed on any of it, he bleats on about his privacy, oblivious to the fact that we only know all this because he told us. If you want to test this, ask him about his "coastal retreat". Priceless.

Now, that's a lovely machine. Thank you for posting. I was considering this color.
