  1. Smell of Coolant

    That doesn't look too bad to get at. Do you have an endoscope, or can you squeeze a phone in to take a pic from underneath? Personally, I'd rather do it myself than do without my car for 3 weeks.
  2. Got an allocation for the GTD

    Is it wrong to hate someone you've never met? Seriously though, well done. You're going to have a ball with that beast. Women will want you, men will want to be you.
  3. Break In Oil - change at 500mi or at 1,000mi?

    Yes I saw that, very surprising. But that's what's best, driving it normally. But one mans normal is another mans f'n lunatic. I tend to do what my bike manufacturers recommended, raising the rev limit in stages. Like 4000 rpm up to 500km, then 8000 until 1000kms.
  4. Break In Oil - change at 500mi or at 1,000mi?

    250mls oil added in 9000 km. Never had an oil burning car. I trust engine designers before I'd listen to a race engine builder on how to break in a street engine. I'd love someone to tell Lampredi or Colombo how engines should be run in. Ferrari procedure is much the same as most modern...
  5. Anyone elses dark horse not spin tires

    Mine spins up nicely in drag mode, just enough to keep from bogging, spins a little into 2nd, and chirps into 3rd. I can't ask for better really.
  6. Another low battery issue...

    Mine just did the dash reset BS associated with low battery. I've just had it on a tender last week as well. A bit bloody annoying
  7. Break In Oil - change at 500mi or at 1,000mi?

    Race ready? For racing teams who expect to rebuild engines on a regular basis? I'll stick to manufacturers break in rules. It's worked well for every new car and bike I've had. What you've recommended is why I will not buy used performance cars.
  8. DH hits the sweet spot in my opinion

    I've heard about that. It's a wonder Rolex don't offer a watch/CCW bundle.
  9. DH hits the sweet spot in my opinion

    I don't get the "luxury" thing. Apart from impressing people you don't care about. I'd never buy a Rolex, I prefer the look of Rado. I'd never buy a Rolls or Bentley. Same with clothes, appliances etc. I would buy an Impractical iconic Italian or German car brand. I have bought Bugatti jeans...
  10. Water BCM Recall Question

    Mine's not exactly a garage Queen. I'll avoid driving in the rain around town. On trips, who cares? I had the recall done, they did a good tidy job. I didn't want to risk any dealer issues if I didn't get it down in a timely manner.
  11. Gauge Detail - What is normal?

    My folks left Italy mostly because of the rise of Mussolini and another war. I remember the Cuban missile crisis. I was 11, even way down here the Nuns had us praying for God to give JFK guidance. Everyone was convinced WW3 was going to start. That's possibly why I don't see the world ending...
  12. Just Registered for Dark Horse Track Attack

    Listen to the instructors, it'll make you a better road driver as well.
  13. Limited Edition Anniversary package Naysayers

    Car shows, is that where people take their free range kids to finger paint your car with snot, and sugar laden dribble? You do need an award for bravery.
  14. Best mode for doing a sweet burnout down the street?

    I prefer to kill my tyres with lateral G.
  15. Daughter Says NO WAY to Honda--Buy Me a Mercedes Benz!

    My wife knows I want an 812 Competizione in Rosso Corse, and a Audi RS3 Competition Limited for a DD and driving through rough areas.. I'm not holding my breath.
  16. Daughter Says NO WAY to Honda--Buy Me a Mercedes Benz!

    I think she wanted out. I bet she's got a GT now, and sends him pics.
