Custom built race exhaust with 200 cel cats are fabricated on site and then sent for a zirtec ceramic coating so min turnaround time of 4 weeks but I'm in no rush to have it back sat in my garage due to poor weather and i rather its done properly
The one that they say takes a week to build and fit, and that renders your car completely illegal to use on the roads?

Anyway, you said on the other thread that you’d stick up a photograph of your car if I did of mine, and I did. I hardly know why I’m asking, as we both know that you are a sad fantasist, but as you’ll now just bluster and lie again, we may as well get it over with.

Why not give up on this one and instead start a thread about your beautiful Italian wife and your research into fundamental particles?

Any chance the guys that have a 675 and feel the need to constantly tell everyone that it is superior to every other mac can start their own wee thread and tell each other how good they are and leave the rest of us alone?

Its pretty odious that it creeps into it seems every mac thread regardless of the topic.

The only 675 owner on her with any credibility and great posts is SSO.

Mate can I suggest you speak to John Thorne to get your facts correct. It takes 4 weeks and is fully road legal with no cel and passes MOT.

Don't let facts get in way of your pathetic posts.

I will invite you to my house to see it as I have the biggest piece of humble pie and custard ready for you as the biggest twonk on PH.
Are you Rambo Lambo in disguise?

Other thread, picture, as you promised?

You said you would only a short while ago.

Picture, or GTFO Walter.

Always struggle with the vitriol on this forum. Like some big thing to own a 765LT/675LT when they give a leper tick nowadays aside from the fact they have average reliability if you intend to actually drive them god forbid. Congrats on 675 LT. Very nice wink

Ken me old mucker can I politely suggest you go forth and multiply.
Photo was taken on side of road driving to Thorney Motorsport so no custard readily available for your massive slice of humble pie.


Looking forward to your public apology still.
Just take it on the chin you have made yourself look a complete twonk 🤣🤣🤣
But don't worry cus it hasn't harmed your credibility

What a photo good god haha.
But that's really interesting! Did you see the other napier 675lt at Thorney by any chance?
It has an incredibly similar spec (carbon louvres, MSO script on airbrake) and that had the race cats fitted a few weeks back. That car has been with them since 16th October if you follow their insta.

I’ll be more than happy to apologise if and when we get the promised picture of course. I’m genuinely surprised after your long wait that you didn’t take a picture either to mark the moment, or a series to show the condition on collection in case of any issues later.

To each their own though.

I’m still not really clear on the story here though, I thought you’d ordered a new one, yet posted earlier today that you were getting a used one instead, so why the long lead time?

Have you actually bought the Thorney one? If so, will you be removing the script from the wing?

Yeah quite the coincidence! I'm surprised you didn't see that one there when you dropped off yours! Bet the guys at Thorney are having an extreme moment of déjà vu every time they open the workshop.

I wonder if they are going for the same kit as demonstrated on their video here,

That's the video I was alluding to. Amazing coincidence that! Someone else has just had the exact same work carried out on the same spec as William's car, albeit a few weeks ahead of WW taking his yesterday-fresh purchase there. But seriously now...the 675LT at Thorney is quite real. Where does that leave us with WW? Fantasist who might be a friend of a friend who actually owns that car and WW is "living" the ownership experience here on PH? Truthfully not fussed, just amused by the timeline offered by WW as I have been keeping up with Thorney's Instagram posts rotate

There’s also the strange mismatch between him saying he had an extended wait for delivery and the statement today that he was buying used.

I’ve been a bit unfair on the guy really, it may all be real, but he’s just doing a poor job of explaining himself.

I’m sure that we’ll be perfectly nice with one another if we end up at the same meet.

He said he was buying a used car from a friend - I don't think the delay was ever really explained.

The only new car he mentioned was the 765 which he never really seemed committed to

With yours being the apotheosis of the issue.

Mine would have overtaken it except that someone reading may have learned a new and very cromulent word, and thereby become embiggened.

Pretty sure the Napier car in the vids is a Coupe? WW has said his is a Spider?

That’ll clear it up then, which is good, I suppose.

I can’t tell from the picture, sadly.

It must take some real effort nowadays to blur a picture to the point that you can’t tell what model of car it is.
