The Bounty Bar Kid

😍

Thought we'd pop in on our way to Abingdon for today. Staying in a hotel for the night. My mates bought me a Supercar experience for my 40th and I bought the same thing for my dad for father's Day. We're both driving a Ferrari 458, California, Porsche GT3 RS, and McLaren 720s. He test drove the 296gtb and F8 tributo. F8 it is 😍

No new parts for Carla, but took my dad shopping... Can you guess where we are?

Today I got the Android auto module added. This kit was supplied by NMautomotive and fitted by Sextons London. When I got there, I also asked about installation of a rear view camera which they did at the same time. At first the Android auto install was a great idea. When finished, he showed it to me and all was great. Then came the trip back home. I was playing music from my Spotify account, and it sounded way off. Started thinking that I'd wasted my money as sound was truly atrocious. Luckily I then found the settings for sound, and for some reason he'd played around with the equaliser. Reset it to default and had decent sounding music again 🥳

11 is the latest, just been looking them up. Although mixed views on the suction cup as some have said it falls off.

Just been out this morning for a 95 mile drive around Surrey. Good points... she sticks like glue to the road. So rapid too. That PDK gearbox is something special. PASM is awesome too, can really feel it all tighten up and feel more planted. The exhaust is amazing, don't see why I'd want to change it tbh. Bad points... The sat nav is so out of date. Can't wait for Android auto mod on Wednesday morning.

That was on top of my Clio insurance. Full year was quoted at £447. Oh and it includes extended car hire cover and a £15 admin charge for changing policy mid year.

Looks like you all had a good time 👍🏽

Welcome and congratulations on your purchase. I used to have the fujitsubo exhaust on my zed and it was lovely.

If they had brought it here, I definitely would have waited to get one. Such a shame that they won't. Hopefully they'll make a hybrid version with 450+bhp that'll satisfy Euro rules. Yeah wishing upon a miracle, I know.

So so far here is my cost analysis... Total spent £41,750 to buy car, £6,150 on other bits listed in this post but not everything, yet. Total spend £47,900 Yes @StutopiaI could have bought a GTS by now, but I can't seem to find one that I liked. This way I get what I want with the fun of customising. I can get the GTS power and some with some engine mods. I definitely picked a great base to start with. MPG with my 350z HR was 19.89 (average over 4 years of ownership) with Carla currently at 32.09 but I have been taking it easy ATM. That's using figures from my app not the car itself, so 100% accurate.

Rear lights have been installed 😍... Before After

Well I'm sad to see the Queen pass away. She was the best of the Royal Family.

Ah okay. 👍🏽

Oh, you've already slipped it into your basket and bought it etc. Thought you meant it was on your list to get 🤣

@Stutopia Found this video of the ducktail spoiler on a black S And still not sold on it. 11.45 to see what it looks like installed.

Some more purchases... For my spare alloys + tyres I've also ordered a powerflex jack puck. Lastly car is booked in for next week Wednesday morning to get Android auto done at Sextons London. They do the NVautomotive one which I'd rather over the other versions.

I don't know... Maybe something to do once I see it in real life. Or maybe I need to do some hunting of my own for pictures that give me a better idea of what it looks like.

Had a look at the side vents and not for me. Stick out a bit too much. Would look good with the gt4 rear wing IMO. I like the ducktail idea, would like to see what it looks like painted to really see if it floats my boat.

Gave her her 1st bath. Just a quick 3 hour one (Spent 50mins on the alloys) No polish or wax

Next week Monday, although will probably have to be rearranged due to the Queen passing away 😢 and that day now being a public holiday, having the rear windows and windscreen tinted. I'm also waiting on Sextons London to get back to me as to when they can fit the Android auto mod to my existing pcm system.

Morning peeps, Expensive weekend. Yesterday I had a Blackvue DR900X-2CH Plus 4K Inc Neo 8+ Battery Pack installed. I also ordered the following... Front luggage liner Rear GTS lights Porsche Guards Red seat belts 19"Boxster S alloys with Michelin PA4 tyres 19mm impact socket sleeved to help protect alloys and nuts Loads of new cleaning stuff (cloths, snow foam shampoo, snow foam blaster, alloy cleaner, wheel brushes)

I'm busy 😭

Welcome dude, this is a great forum with really friendly people

Yep, need to wait for the brakes to bed in then I can properly have some fun. It's funny how the last time I drove my 350z was back in 2016. Since then I had been driving a 1.4 Peugeot 206, a 1.8 MX-5 nb, a 1.6 Nissan Qashqai, then a 1.2 Renault Clio 8v. But getting back into something this powerful has felt natural. It's so effortless.
