Somehow, I just sense that the wife will not think that this is a suitable outing for a wedding anniversary.....

Indeed, very nice pics...

Definitely does look good. Gives the RC-F a run for it's money...

Oh dear, I think I'm going to have to start saving up......

I've thought about this daily driver thing on and of for a while. Yes, it would be cheaper to have an econobox to do the commute in, however, it wouldn't put a smile my face every day like the F does. I used a Ct200h for a while when I was getting the paint sorted on my F, came to the renewed conclusion that life is too short to spend the hours behind the wheel that I do driving something that's less engaging than the F. So yes, the fuel cost is more than I necessarily have to pay and I'm aware that I'm clocking up some depreciation, however my daily travels are a lot more fun than they otherwise would be and I know that the F is always going to work/not let me down, which is important when I'm doing nearly 20k a year.

Thought this was amusing...

Concur with mrfunex. Done nearly 75k in my F and nary a chirp from the brakes, running on a bog standard setup.

Is there a way to reset the ECU on later models with a starter button that doesn't involve disconnecting the battery or pulling fuses?

when did you say they were coming over??

It looks like a great time was had by all and terrific weather for it as well.

not that I've been thinking about this you understand.... Plus the wife really wants a conservatory :(

and then there is the headers and the free flow exhaust to help it breathe, maybe uprate the brakes, USRS, perhaps some other suspension mods..... I don't think I'll be able to afford it :(

I'd keep the ISF and swap my series 2 P38 range rover for a 5.5 GWagen

I read that Apple were talking to Mclaren about buying them recently, I guess that didn't work out. An autonomous P1 GTR anyone??

I've had similar problems in the past, every couple of years I get the dealer to run some air con cleaner through the system, seems to solve the problem.

I don't think it's just you....

my wife is sitting next to me and she has just suggested that baby pink would be a better colour, methinks I'm not going to take her car shopping in future

maybe you should take it a bit further and wrap more of the car, perhaps turn it a subtle grey/black colour all over, after all, they are unobtrusively faster....

I am very well behaved re speed limits, I do enough miles and, I suspect, getting old enough, to appreciate driving defensively these days. (cue boring old fart music) However, on a recent trip back from Berlin, early on a sunny sunday morning, no lorries, sod all traffic, I was hoping to max it. Unfortunately, where there was a straight empty road, there was also fog (see previous reference to early in the morning), so I have not yet managed to see what the actual reported top speed really is. Managed to get to 170 before I had to back down but there was still some left, though I suspect at that speed there is a significant difference between reported and actual speed. At lower speed my speedo seems to be around +5%. Got another holiday in Germany planned later this year so might see if I can give it another go.

Autobahns are good.......

well, obviously the glare from the garish, sales rep silver paint slows them down, whereas a nice, subtle, cadoxtan slate colour blends in with the scenery more and is therefore faster.... I've had an indicated 165 on the autobahn and it was still going, unfortunately I've not managed to find enough clear road on trips to Germany to max it...

and usually covered in rubber which stops them making close contact.........

Wouldn't dream of it

They are the directional non-mesh style

I agree, I can't imagine that near side rear is straight and square.. At that price, maybe I should sell my spare set of newly refurbed wheels.....
