McLarens & Reliability

If you don't want the criticism then post a picture and that may just keep the naysayers quiet (er). If you don't then the doubt's going to remain in many minds and you'll continue to get the crap that goes with that.

FFS why do I need a picture of a car i OWN.

If you are that desperate to see it you can drive to Thorney Motorsport but on the meantime give it a rest please
I have nothing to prove to PH

Despite my facetious comment earlier, I don't really give a toss whether you own it or not. Enough non-owners come on here and spout all kind of negative st so it really doesn't make any difference.

But the change in tone from "I'll be taking photos with the entire Birds stock of custard and you'll all need it with your humble pie" to "why should I post photos of a car I OWN" - is a tad odd.

Incidentally - most car enthusiasts who buy new (to them) cars, seem to like posting pictures of their new car.

Michelin PS4s going on mine when jeed replacing.
Pirelli p zeros are OK but Michelin are simply better IMHO especially in cold and wet UK

No, I agree, you’re not going to be proving anything here.

Taxi for Kenny 🤭

As per other thread, that looks like the one that Thorney had, which already had the exhaust done.

You said earlier that you were now getting a used one, is that it?

That’s a great quality picture right there. Was there an earthquake happening at the time?

Someone’s been having their leg pulled about apparently being a new poster with a “new” car, but seeming to be an old, banned poster, with the same car as last time.

As their car seems to be with you for a new exhaust though I don’t imagine that you’ll want to be saying much.

You could help me on a point that I was corrected on previously though, is the race exhaust for the 675 approved for road use?

I’d assumed not, but apparently it is.

I think that there must be a problem with that thread, as it doesn't seem to be updating, so maybe that's the explanation.

It is unfortunate if it turns out that despite really buying the car and taking it to be worked on he wasn't able to get even a single picture.

At the risk of getting involved in what appears to be a bit of a silly argument, here is a video of the car in question after having one of our race exhausts fitted.

I trust this confirms the poor guy does actually own the car in question?

[Thorney]

Here it is in the background behind a 600lt

[davek_964]

I think it proves the opposite - that's a car you've had for a little while, and already fitted the exhaust to.

The person in question claims to have bought a green 675LT on Monday and delivered it to you at the start of this week for the race exhaust.

So if he was telling the truth, you'd have two green 675LTs in for an exhaust.......

Yes, a very silly argument indeed, but that seems to be par for the course here.

Since you’re on, I just bought a 650s, are there any upgrades or modifications that I should be considering having you do?

Gawd.

We had a 675LT here in napier green that we fitted our race exhaust to. Beyond that I care very little.

Depends what you want, it doesnt 'need' anything, but spend some time in it, see what you want to improve and give us a call, certainly a stage 2 remap, race exhaust, spacers and geo will make you smile even more than you are now but see how you like it as it is first. Have fun.
