Can you sell it to the guy you’re buying the kidney from? he’ll have the cash smile

sorry, thought it funny as many would sell a kidney for a car like that..
Thanks for the best wished guys!

My amazing wife is donating so I'm afraid the car has to go to fund future handbag and shoe requirements wink
What a fantastic wife you have.. Lucky you!!!

Best of luck with the Mac sale, but even better fortune with the op. Best wishes to you and your wife..
I’ll echo that, praise be and certainly puts things in perspective smile good luck thumbup

Quick question. What do some of you guys use for phone mounts? I have one that attaches to the vents but the design isn’t that compatible and bends the vents. My dash is alcantara but I was thinking of attaching one with 3m to the iris surround?

That was my original solution. Worked well enough but blocked some of the IRIS and just didn't look that smart. Since then I have gone Quadlock. You need a new case for your phone but their mounts are fantastic. I have the windscreen mount with wireless charging. Easy to connect up and very secure.

I couldn't find a good mount so I made one! I had a batch of them made once I had tested and tweaked the mount. It works with any ball joint phone mount, I'm using a Pitaka MagSafe one along with a 2m USBC cable which is hidden away and runs behind trim to the arm rest.

There's 14 570/600 cars using the mount already including a few PH members!

That looks very neat. I've got a VPOW magnetic one that is suctioned to the windscreen and magnetic to the phone.

Thanks! I tried a windscreen mount but prefer to have nothing on there to spoil the view biggrin

If anyone is interested in a mount for 540/570/600 send me a PM smile

I thought I wanted the phone just to the left of the instrument binnacle, so I got this

however in reality the steering wheel ends up covering part of the display, so it's not ideal

The clip also partly covers the warning lights on the left of the binnacle, although I can still see eg when the handbrake is on so no big deal. It doesn't look that secure, but it has been absolutely fine on the move so far.

The challenge is, I don't want the phone obscuring any of my view of the road, and I also don't want it buried too far down, taking my eyes further away from the road. But there aren't many suitable places left (this is an area where McLarens' wonderful low scuttle causes challenges).

Took the car out today and tried launch for the first time ever. Felt sick after so had to drive slowly on the way home.

They can get amazing mpg if your not caning it.

Could get mid 30's easily in my 650 and have cracked 38mpg in the 675.

Will be good to see what I get on a 1000 mile round trip to Spa. Although it won’t last long as I’m too much of a child with the back window down for the exhaust biggrin

Got 34 today on a 350 mile run. That’s with some childish pulls as well!

Not quite as tight as I thought it was going to be! I thought width would be the issue but it’s quite long as well!
