  1. Its going to be a LONG weekend Grrr, dont pick it up until Wednesday !!! by the way that sh1te huge number plate is getting removed!
  2. Apparantly the best things come to those who wait, next few weeks are going to be painful, especially since the 458 has gone back last week
  3. Cheers mate Went for black carbon racing seats (gold rake Seats) carbon fibre dash, steering wheel etc and black leather all over with red stitching all round, not as Lairey as others but looks pretty classy
  4. swapping plates will get you more spanked than doing the work, just crack on mate!
  5. yeah about that, WTF is an 'islamist' anyway??! Is there a Christianist or a Jewist?
  6. anyone on here?... car still tturns heads i see!
  7. to be fair if it was staged as an islamic type terror attack then i dont think there should be an issue or offence taken by muslims or anyone else for that matter, GMP are just trying to make it authentic, its wrong to use Allahs name in this way PERIOD but if terrorists say this before blowing sh1t up then its only right its said in a simulation, insensitive given how tetchy things are, yes. i dont think its wrong to use in a simulation environment which is trying to mimick a small % f*ckwit so called muslims, but them f*ckwits do say them words when they do what they do, for whatever misguided reasons Maybe its the people i know and hang around with but I dont actually feel anyone around me or in the wider sphere think that all muslims are dangerous and follow a commmon type of 'christian/western' hatred

    488 news/update

    Just in case anyone wants to get from Hancock Road to Kingsland Road https://tfl.gov.uk/bus/route/488/
  9. if it was an anti-terror operation specifically around islamic terrorists then the words would be befitting, however I think this was not staged around one particular sect/religion/group and a general 'anti-terror operation' and therefore someone saying allah hoo-akbar could be construed as 'GMP think 'every terrorist is a muslim' thus it being politically and technically incorrect.
  10. no its not the R tronic AFAIK but same principal in terms of issues with jerky shifts, I heard manual is the way to go on the older R8s
  11. its bad enough to put a lot of buyers off, they changed the gearbox on the hurracan, its VERY noticeable, real shame as i would have loved to own that car but the gear change was the single reason i didnt buy it!
  12. lol - what? thats just bizarre - small world! Are you a vendor or NHS delegate??!
  13. yes both the cars I drive were the roadsters (ie roof off jobbies) they have a tweaked gearbox/software but its still tripe compared to the twin clutch gearboxes of the hurracan 458,488 etc - with cars like this its not 'driving around' thats the problem, its the power delivery from the single clutch gearbox see what tiff says [video=youtube;-nRkVuzLPNk]
  14. mate i was trying to be funny! i will post everything on this thread
  15. lol, ive just joined club scuderia - you guys should go on there and post pics of your supes and see what happens
  16. Apparently not in the sound department! That metallic screeching V8 at top end has gone. It might have something to do with the test drive on the 488 and the engine wasnt properly run in compared to my 458 but it did seem a tad muted, nice noise from the turbos though, kinda reminded me of my Supe days .
  17. mate they look nuts but the gearbox is tripe, I was very very close to buying one last summer but the test drives put me right off, the engine is sublime and crackles nicely on the overrun but there is a massive loss in power with the single clutch gearbox and a big jolt in your seat, it also didnt seem agile compared to the 458 but the steering and feel was solid. You can have a supermodel - all exceptional in the looks department but a bit of a starfish when it comes to doing the business or a top end lap dancer, still looks the nuts but also keeps your interest when you drive her here are the two I was contemplating.
  18. shit i must have missed that, i dont even know if my PP is chipped or not! I guess it must be as they let me in (after being held in the 'random check' bay like everytime i go to the US!)
  19. i think its all automated and process driven as opposed to someone taking photos, they must have fixed cameras along the production line I actually think overall any new car is not good value, especially a ferrari but I wasnt going to wait around for years for my 'perfect spec' to come up on the used car market. Speaking of which this bit is another massive rip off, on a 180k car you are spending at least 50k to get it looking a bit special and they royally rip you off for every little bit, especially if the words 'Carbon Fibre' are involved!
