No, will be tucked away

No video's yet, I've only had it 24 hours

Took a few more pics, think the colour is a bit more like the reality in the flesh in the first pics. The rest of pics I've tried to take are of the full carbon engine bay and the carbon & alcantara of the cabin

Just wondering, ...does it have a "pop" up type spoiler then as it looks like it might in this picture above. If so what speeds that set to come up at? I know it's sad but I always found that type of thing pretty cool since I first saw it on a Porsche years ago when I was younger. A bit "007 James Bond" sort of I think. It's actually the opposite, it's an air brake and part of the active aero. It springs straight up in the air when you are braking hard, so much so, you can't see anything in the rear mirror

Thats the plan really. I nearly got enticed into a new 570s but looking at the depreciation curves of the 12c (my car listed at £206k!!!) and the 650s they both lost £30-£40k a year initially!! Hopefully the 12c is on a steady depreciation curve now.......personally I can't ever see them dropping below the values of older stuff out there like 430's, pre-LP Gallardo's etc..............but you never know I suppose! Also bear in mind that a lot of the early niggles have been ironed out with retrofit upgrades too which is great. It hasn't dated one jot despite being five years old either, I find the 12c pretty much indistinguishable from the 650 and 570. Good call on the colour too, is it volcano orange? Yep, all the upgrades have been carried out on this car including the remap to take the BHP from 598 to 616 The colour is McLaren Orange, the same that they used on the F1. Volcano Orange is almost the same as the Sunset Orange on the zed

It's actually really hard to capture the true colour......in most pictures it looks a little pale/pastel/washed out..........a bit like Temper Orange........but in the flesh it's a much deeper, darker orange

All I have for now!!

Fancied the car but not the depreciation!

Google says 0-60 in circa 2.8 seconds......... Will take some interior and engine pics as soon as there is a break in the weather to clean it and take some photo's

Ha!

Don't have many at the moment, crappy weather!!

That looks about right, although I had 2x 350z's and 2x M3's

Love it!!

The owners name isn't Sean it?

Nice! Does this mean my fees are going up??

Thanks for the pointers guys!

The 21" wheels are not on a Zed...............read his post

I liked Val I loved how he had to get an actual mortgage to pay for a set of wheels..............wonder how many years he's got left :lol: :lol:

lol What. A. Tool.

I miss Val

Nice!

Wow, I did not know that. Every days a school day

So is it the lip on them or the thickness? Or is the lips only created as the pads wear away at the disks causing them to get thinner creating the outer lip???

Ok, slightly embarrassing question given all the cars I've had over the years!! So, how exactly do you tell when the disks are worn?? Porsche are telling me that I need new front disks and pads as they are "95%" worn.............and want £980 to supply and fit them. I've read of numerous other people getting well over 70k out of theirs but my car has barely done half that mileage!! I can see that the pads are probably shot but the disks as well? Visually they look fine to me but I don't know what they would look like when they are shot!?!?
