My LFA is finally ready.

I just drive over them.
No planning before hand (no fun)
I never turn round if I hit a big bump, I just go for it.
Pretty often, hurts at first then you get use to it (sounds like me trying to persuade the wife for a certain something haha)
Most damage I’ve done on a speed bump is just scrapping the underneath. After all it is a speed bump so I do slow down for them.

Cheers
Pete

Cheers.

I reckon some of the speed cushions round here would beach you. I scrape on some bumps and steep bits of road no matter how slow I go, and my car isn't even low.

Scrapes aren't too bad, I'd just be scared of cracking an expensive bit of carbon.

Would it not be easier for you to build your new home? Incorporating an underground garage so you could keep a few gems closer? No matter what house you buy, you’ll only end up spending and adapting it more to your taste anyway, you certainly don’t need to compromise or settle.

Lovely LFA btw. That exhaust note is sublime.

Hahaha I’ve been trying for years. I own a property company too so I know all the lands and houses for sale in my area, there’s just nothing for me at the moment.

What are you building Pete? I love the fact that you have a selection of supercars parked on your drive next to what appears to be a Travis Perkins delivery!

Personally I think it's great to see the cars in normal circumstance, rather than Monaco, Knightsbridge etc

I’m ALWAYS building.
Just putting the 6th bedroom and 7th bathroom on the house now.
I’m still looking for a new house at the moment. I hate stopping.
I’ve only got another 2 weeks of building work then I’ll be done.

Indeed, and the next one give me a shout, i shall happily design a proper roof at no cost to your good self . Might need a whizz in the M2 CP though, as long as its not white

Pete - apologies for the contact through the forum but I think you and I have the only LFAs left in the UK? Just wanted to check it was you. My mate Neil bumped into you at Stratstone Ferrari Manchester on Saturday.

Was your LFA at JZM Porsche yesterday?

Missed this post last week.

Closest thing to automotive perfection for me, what a stunning thing.

Cheers for sharing, if you have any other photos could you start a new thread so as not to derail this one? Would love to see that car from a direct front and rear view. If I'm late to the party and you've already done that on PH or other media I'd be grateful for a link.

Hope you and 2MC enjoy your cars in good health for many years to come... just make sure you share photos with us!!

Wow , that one is a beauty

No it wasn't mine

[Bright Halo]

Wow, tangerine dream!
On the house front, loads of individual builds going on around Cheltenham and Cotswolds including some neat “built into hillside stuff” with mega car storage etc.

Even rarer than the 'normal' LFA!

[jpvroom]

No it's not a Nurburgring - it has the Nurburgring paint option and the wheels as an extra order from Lexus (using another Nurburgrings VIN - only other spare set apparently). I have the standard wheels though. Amazing bit of kit.

Then there are three in the country. There might be a 4th, the blue one that Totota have as a press/heritage car

Edit - there is also the white Nurburgring Edition car that the owner of the Naraya ‘Egg owns so 5 in total in the UK

I have seen both the blue and that white one on the roads, although that press car was a few years back so could have been exported now. I saw the white one last year sometime.

[jpvroom]

Yeah not sure - just looked at "how many left" and there is 3 apparently. I heard the others have been exported but maybe not.

Pete - if you are in the South West ever let's go for a blat - anyone welcome of course.

[Gav147]

I wouldn't take "how many left" too seriously, if you click on the car type you can get a graph of history ( here) and it shows LFA numbers flicking between 1 and 4 over the last few years, it's actaully showing 4 in the UK at the mo, 3 taxed and 1 sorn.

Your's also looks superb, certainly suits a bold colour.

There’s at least 5 currently in the U.K, registered on U.K. plates.

As far as I’m now aware, there’s yours, mine, the other black one from the weekend. There’s two more registered in the uk (one a blue rhd) that belong to Toyota but will NEVER be sold to the public, it’s taken to shows like Goodwood but will never be sold. I know, I offered a huge amount for the Blue one but was told that there’s no way that Toyota would even consider it. So to summarise, 3 on the road. Unless I’m wrong and that other white one is a privately owned car.

The white Nurburgring version is privately owned looking at this

[IcedKiwi]

Came here because of the LFA.
Stayed here because of Pete!

Just made it through all the posts - great stuff!
