675LT Spider AKA Storm Trooper:

[LordOfTheManor]

this car was at Rybrook, the black carbon bits used to be rocket red carbon
and the dealership painted them gloss black but the carbon doesn't show through

I've been looking for one for over 6 months and vaguely remember that car as it stood out at the time
Did it also have red piping stripes then ?

Maybe it has changed hands for a 3rd time now

Have you sorted yours my Lord ?

[LordOfTheManor]

no their other branch...

[LordOfTheManor]

Dealer went crazy with the black paint - Side blade, rear spoiler, wing vents, wheels........ would have been better painted white to match car

As I stated it was from mcBrum and 1 previous owner.
Comment re Louvers correct.

Let yak enjoy his moment, even if its not to your liking he still has a 675LT spider which makes many posters on this thread jealous, me included.

You've got people coming on here with bullst, insults over price and criticising the spec which isn't fair on the new owner.

If you haven't got anything nice to say maybe its better to say nothing or in some peoples case dont say anything and just let people think you are stupid rather than say something which confirms you are stupid.

I take it you still haven't bought one ?

Too much white on a car makes it look like a domestic 'white goods' appliance.

Plus, white wheels are an utter bh to keep white.

+1 nicest 675 LT I’ve seen in an age. Never been a fan of gloss black and was tad concerned when Mac 720s was doing on his rear spoiler re paint but I confess it looks stunning Macs. They seem to carry it off. Odd comments if you’ve got nothing nice to say jog on my Lord!

Having said that if she was mine I doubt I’d give a ff what me Lord says

Due to his postings over the years of, for example, getting a speciale, pista, porsche gt's and it always never happening because of the dealer, I was pretty confident he was never taking ownership of the green 675, hence why I asked a few times when it was arriving.

He is going to order the new 911 turbo s now so all is not lost.

Poor show coming on here and pissing in Yaks cornflakes though.

A lot of that goes on here.

[IMI A]

I don't like saying this as people who know me know I've travelled the globe and love being British. The doors its opened for me with even royalty and other heads of state overseas unbelievable. But there is something in the majority of British psyche that leans towards bitterness at other peoples success and even more odd glee if they see someone in a bind. Very odd trait. Thats why i prefer cats, dogs and being overseas!

Thats enough of my PPE lesson!

William,RSTturbo,650sp and IMI,

Guys,thanks for your support,but quite honestly I couldn't care less what certain people think or type.
we all meet these sorts in life, its some form of inadequacy or something lacking, They best ignored.

Anyway the car looks and feels awesome, a totally visceral experience.
If this sort of thing floats yur boat, Id'd highly recommend people try one.

[IMI A]

i actually don't think me lord is being green eyed monster. He just has bad taste all white WTF and a very direct style?! The gloss black contrasts amazingly with the silica white. Cars popping like a bowl of rice crispies

On Mac 720s repaint car the roof and spoiler remind me of a stealth fighters canopy. SR71/F117 thing going on although I realise they're matt!

[WilliamWaiver]

I'm guessing the poor taste comments are coming from mac bashers, non owners and those dreamers and wannabees who can't afford one.

The 675LT is an amazing car regardless of spec or colour yet some people still feel the need to piss on Yak's chips.
Totally unnecessary IMHO whether it be jealousy or a lack of class.

Hope to here my feedback on your experience with the car soon Yak.

It does float my boat - but I just checked, and sadly it appears it doesn't float my bank managers boat

Congratulations on a stunning car.

[yak293]

Dave,
Read a bit of your 650 story! great your using it well.I too had a 650sp for a few thousand miles,really enjoyed it.
Don't worry about 675 too much its not as every day usable as yours. and it certainly isn't twice a good, if comparing bang for buck.
Best cars are the ones we use the most.

carp video.
Is it even for sale ?
High spec but wrong colour for me so probably £210k buys it.
If its £150k I will have two please sod the colour

Obvious troll is obvious.

Stunning machine Yak, enjoy.

Interesting to hear your comment about better turn in than a 650s, as to me front end grip is the limiting factor for 650s track performance.

What tyres were the two on and at what speeds do you mean? I cannot imagine the aero is effective below ~100? And I assume you really mean turn in, and not a quicker rack ratio. My interest is because I am working on mods to improve front end grip for my 650.
