    See you at Hopetoun, if not before. Although I'm in something German now, will you not talk to me again?

    WTF, what a sad loss. Condolences to Liz and all his family. Life can be very cruel.

    MC20 used bargain or not review.

    The carbon exterior package adds about 10% to the resale value of them. Nothing compared to their cost however it is worth seeking a car with it as it will likely retain that 10% proportional uplift and be easier to dispose of when the time comes. The same is true of most high end supercars. A...

    Mega cars. Mega running costs. Early ceramic discs, for example, can easily be £15k to replace.

    MC20 used bargain or not review.

    They are ex-Maserati main dealers who have dropped the brand and are now getting rid of whatever stock they had left. Lotus Glasgow (part of Park's Group) took on Maseati a few years ago as a route to getting a Ferrari dealership but it went to Sytner so they have now dumped Maserati as there is...

    Christmas Party Dec 7th 2024!!

    As possibly the attendee that is from the furthest North, I object to the name of pub and suggest that Benny is the real Cock of the North.

    Best roads ~ Edinburgh to Hertfordshire

    Stay away from the A68, I had a MASSIVE accident there in August, for those who know it, it was the notorious blind summit section. The first thing the paramedic said to me was "I'm here 4 times a month, I have no idea why they don't sort the road surface". I am lucky to be alive, and I'm not...

    MC Stradale - Production Volume - Detailed Breakdown

    The MC Stradale that I owned was actually ordered by the South African importer, but kept at their home in London and never made it there as far as I know. So that kind of thing must skew the numbers. And it's a 2012 2 seater.

    2024 Some Scottish Car Events

    Yeh, I don't agree. The MC20 is a ground up design, carbon tub, new engine and they don't have the benefit of parts sharing like Lambo etc. It's a fantastic machine and very special. They are now sitting for the last year at £125k trade and £145k retail and up. When you compare what it is to a...

    Best V12 sub £150k

    It's quite a lot less actually, around £9k. It's managed by Simon Furlonger but it's actually done by a machine shop just down the road from him. Like all cars, they have their mechanical issues but of course, you only hear about the bad ones which inflates the issue. FChat have a great...

    I'll see you there. I have an umbrella so whatever. Going with my pal Angus and his Alfa Spyder and Nick in his Ferrari California. Will give Allan and Greg a shout when we get there.

    Best V12 sub £150k

    Here I am. Do it. You will utterly adore it and you won't lose much money. They are mega, especially with some small additions from the likes of Capristo. I had mine for 4 years, did around 15k miles and couldn't have been happier. Feel free to PM me and I can talk you through the ownership...

    Coupe prices - what's happening?

    Yup, as Mr Crud says, I had a mega high spec Macan for about 3 years. Macan S diesel with £35k of options because the first owner had more money than sense but that was nice for me!! We bought from a Porsche main dealer, serviced it through then and kept in inside warranty. The only issue was...

    Exhaust System Modifications and the DSVA.

    It's so boring isn't it. The left wing BS that we are having to endure. The EU block exemption regulation states that as long as a modification is completion to similar or better than manufacturer standards, then it is OK. Changing a poor quality OEM exhuast for a stainless steel version is...

    MC20 Personal Views

    They are all overpriced these days. The buyers have changed to the Instagram generation who buy on payments, based on YouTube view revenues. This is good for the rest of us as they are all depreciating to sensible levels quickly. The MC20 is technically special compared to many others such as...

    A Le Mans entry, my dear Watson

    I'd look at a route that does Brantes (mt Ventoux), Saint Tropez, Cannes, Antibes, Valbonne/Mougins, Cap Ferrat, Beausoleil, Monaco, San Remo and then back up through the Alps to Chamonix, Geneva then home via Reims. Carcasonne is amazing but it's a little bit west and will add a load of...
