After a two year search, in the club, just bought Blu Mediterraneo GranTurismo Sport face lift model, complete with full external carbon pack that's barley been driven / broken in, can't wait to collect her. But am travelling for work then away on holiday so won't be able to get into or collect her until December. Looking forward to some car meets next summer!

So excited sorry about thread name, I mean OWNER

Redline Racing had one in Blu med last year. Thought if I moved from my car to a GT I would want a change in colour but after seeing it in the flesh I could live with the same colour again!
Lovely car. Enjoy!

Congrats, a very good choice if I may say so, although I may be somewhat biased!! Not only is the colour stunning in real life and particularly on a bright sunny day, there are not many around so quite a rare car. What colour interior has yours got?

Quick question, the tyres that come standard on the car how they are for the wet winter roads. Should I look to put on something different for the winter before the spring?

Wet roads are not too bad although you do need to exercise caution, the rears will spin up with little provocation if you are careless. That said the car is perfectly driveable and no worse than any other rear wheel drive car of similar power. What you DO NOT want to do is go anywhere near snow and/or ice, even in ice mode the car has very little grip. If you wanted to drive the car throughout the winter in all conditions I would put on winter tyres, which many will testify work very well, although I myself haven't tried it. Good luck!

Snow or Ice no way. I know in the wet do not engage 'Sport' that's for DRY conditions only! Any idea which winter typres are better for the 'wet' winter than the P zeros.....?

Good points here re sport - needs dry or a tad damp road but not wet/raining, oh and over 10 Celsius.

I run Pirelli Sotto Zeros four months of the year - great wear and grip rates.
