Very lovely. Did have a gander at the advert when it was for sale as it jumped out over the others for sale. Well done She is lovely.

Very nice indeed, Alastair.
I'm guessing that your neighbours are learning to love the sweet sound
of 400 angry Italian horses, champing at the bit, each morning :D
Whereabouts are you? Out of idle curiosity.

Thanks All,
I'm in Warwickshire , Neighbours think I'm nuts.
6 cars at the house currently ..soon to be 5.

  • Alfa 159 (Sold , awaiting collection)
  • Porsche Macan,
  • Porsche 997 Turbo,
  • TVR Chimaera (Garaged)
  • Noble M12 (Garaged)
And now this beautiful curvy beast.
As it's water tight it will live outside on a CTEK.


All very different cars, different engines and transmission / layouts.

(I have been revving the QP on the drive !!)

When you say watertight.... keep an eye under the boot carpets (you will need to take out the spare wheel well). They have a tendency to fill up and kill the handbrake ecu and can leak in various places from seal, window to harness grommet. #MarkMas has some recent experience.
Nice driveway collection btw.

Looks stunning - and being in Warwickshire you should have little excuse not to bring her to some of the local car meets in the area come spring!

I'll keep an eye out for you (I'm in Rugby) - once again what a great buy!

Welcome to the forum, your QP V looks great and word on the street is that it's the best time to buy one as prices may rise...but that's purely conjecture...you'll still pay in running it. Keep an eye on subframes (especially in winter, weekly wash!) and I hope you have many happy miles of daily motoring. Running it daily will do it a world of good.

Spent a couple of hours under the car today fitting this lovely work of art from Jason at Jaren Metalworks.
It's a shame it will not be visible as the welds look amazing.

Then spent some more time revving it :)
The neighbor approves. It sound insane, I hope it doesn't get any more civilized once the new xpipe beds in.

You need to do his back box mods too. The qp video on his site is mine.

Nice , I have seen the vids.
I like how the xpipe doesnt change the cabin noise at crusing speed. Do the backboxes change that?

Not too much and no drone either. You still need to crack the double glazing to get the full affect. You can still cruise past the bill under the radar when required.

Looks beautiful Alisdair. I particularly like the interior colours.
Welcome to the forum, the body of good advice you have already found here, and the banter.
Have a merry and musical Christmas.
I drive mine most days too.
