Looks fantastic!
Kevin Koo was also helpful and the engineers/technicans were very quick to identify the fault and it was comforting that they could demonstrate clearly that the clutch position sensor (inside the gearbox/bell housing) was indeed (after a couple of weeks) a coincidence and unrelated to the service.

Indeed I've been dealing w/ Kevin since Willen's departure and he's been reasonable.

rosso corsa with black interior/red stitching. sports seats and lots of CF. the new rear CF grill looks really great. Grigio Ferro metallic sports wheels (same colours as sports sills and headlights) with yellow calipers. 100% happy with my spec.

only downside of car is that it is not manual. in that respect i like my 355 spider stick better.

other downside is that new cars are so so expensive these days!!!

Can't agree more. I'm still holding a SMALL glimpse of hope that they *MIGHT* offer stick as option like what they did for California...

there is no chance. zero. manual cali not available any more either. last manual car to come out of maranello is the last 599 and that went to a hk collector (actually there were 3 or 4 together)

Wow, 599 in 6 speed manual. That's a sight to be seen... Surely a winner in my book...

Anyone been watching the LM24H? Despite Peugeot not being there it's been another classic race. Heading into the last couple of hours now... Grab a cup of tea or a cold beer and turn Eurosport on if you haven't already!

I've watched so much of it, I feel like I'm driving in it.
