New 570GT

[Type45]

Apologies, there's nothing out of the ordinary in a 570GT on this forum but thought the photo worth sharing. This was taken on my first day with the car, joined by a friend that owns the DB6 (Mk2 Vantage, for those interested). The trip included a run up Shelsley Walsh hillclimb, though the pheasants slowed things down.As a serial owner of Lotus and E30 M3's over many years, the 570 shares similar traits, but on steroids. Happy owner and thanks to McBristol for their attention and patience.

Welcome to the Mcteam. I have a 570GT too, IMHO the best all rounder if you're going to be doing any serious road miles. Just check out Chris Harris video on Youtube for his view too.

Welcome. Love the atmospheric picture, looks quite moody with the old & new together.

Looks great. Congratulations. As it happens, I test drove one yesterday at McBristol. It was rather wet so not the conditions for getting carried away, but very composed, plenty of go and nicely put together. I’m tempted to swap into one, not least as I had hoped for a GT3 but didn’t make the cut so have a hankering for a change.

I also looked at a 720 “in the metal” whilst I was there and might have fallen in love. I didn’t think I’d like them form the various pics and videos, but in real life they were awesome.

Decisions, decisions!

Jimmy Go For It, Porky's are just so perfect work seemlessly, their gearboxes are silky smooth, I barely know what i'm talking about (typing about) but down shifts in the Mac at legal speeds are loud and proud,
clearly a british thing, who makes the 3.8? Only an hour test drive thus far in the mac
