Ok then, because you was the first to ask you can help me rev them. Email me and we can sort out the particulars. Hopefully you’re in the north west.
Cheers

Yeah it’s absolutely fine, happy to let you rev it and we’ll even have a blast out in it.

Just one thing

Sounds weird, but can you pay it forward please. Do something positive for someone else, that’s all I’d like and we’ll have some fun blasting around in it.

Cheers

Haha, didn’t think of it like that. Hopefully they’ll do the same for someone else.

Fair play Pete, that's an awesome thing to do! Loving this thread smile

Hope you don't mind me saying, but this puts a whole different perspective for me on "supercar" collectors, for want of a better phrase. All too easy to think of rare cars getting stashed away from view, so great to hear of them being used and enjoyed by others

Dammit- in too late to claim North Westyness (Carlisle).
Could we have a paying it forward thread to see how the selflessness spreads?

So, is the LFA ready yet?!
Haha I know right!!
The good news is that it’s ready and after Topaz drop off my M2 next week then the next one coming home is the LFA, so pretty much 2 weeks today.
Excellent - looking forward to it in final form!

THIS. This in essence is really so beautiful and unfortunately far too scarce in todays world.

Truly epic thread which I'll leave a week or two before coming back and reading with brew.

I keep coming back and getting sold a dummy by the thread title! Clearly expecting it to be in your possession but you're doing a stellar job of keeping the interest flowing.

I love how you're sharing the experience not only on here but also in person with some of the above I've just read. It's warming to hear the only thing you want in return is for others to do similar to you, top man.

Oh and with the LFA / CGT, can I request one thing above and beyond a simple rev? Can you go to some disused airfield and have both blast off into the distance as the camera films from behind (similar to TG's review of the CGT all those years back).

All the best and happy new year.

Yeah it’s fine, just email me so I’ve got your details and when I get both cars back and it’s good weather then we’ll arrange a day when you and Giblet can both make it.
Just do the same please, pay it forward to someone else. Knock on for an elderly neighbour who might not have anyone else, and just sit and have a brew and a chat. You’ll probably get more of a buzz of that than any car. Or whatever you choose.
Cheers

This thread won "Thread of the Year 2017", and a few days in - I'm pretty sure most will agree has already won "Thread of the Year 2018".

Great posts, thanks for being so open about it all.. Incredible work.

Added on IG so look forward to seeing more over there too.

That would be something amazing but unfortunately as a race humans have become inherently selfish.
It’s frightening times when the president of the ‘free world’ stops their best healthcare they’ve had in forever, reverses the government stance on climate change and bullies other nations.
I guess there’s too many rich and powerful aholes in this world who would rather step on you than help you.

Is the 570LT getting a hike in power out of interest or is that actually it’s name??

And the 488... pressume it will be the “speciale” version ?

Have you started to slow down on property investments and invest in cars now ?? I mean you certainly seem to be indulging in these beauties to say the least
