Interesting to see this thread pop back up - after 10 years I'm now shopping for a Flying Spur

Admittedly it was 10 years ago but my 550 had Tubi back boxes at the time and I had no issues. I found any border police just waved me through, whereas the year before in my Mini I had the boot searched a couple of times, passports checked etc

It's 10 years since I did it, had to book through my local dealer but it was about £100 each from (hazy) memory. The two of us were the only people on it

Not saying I agree with what he's doing, but the EU has had tarriffs on American cars for some time now so they're not exactly innocent in all this

Agree with point 2 - but surely the increasing number of these from various manufacturers, plus the increasing volumes of a specific model, means that at some point the collectors say no? Then the ponzi scheme collapses...

I'm a traditionalist so keep them silver IMO. Maybe a very light gold would work with the red, something like the satin aurum used by Porsche to give a nod to some of the Ferrari racing cars over the years

I do miss the range of my 530d, but I don't miss the stench, clatter and lack of revs. That said, as above I wonder if diesel will be available for longer in an agricultural area like mine. ULEZ and the bus gates in Aberdeen have killed the city centre - it's a 45 min drive for me anyway, but...

... which is that SUVs are shit, yes? ;)

I reeled a big one in yesterday it seems 🎣:p

SUVs are higher, therefore heavier and less aero efficient... Get a 400bhp 4wd estate and save the planet :p You can definitely tell the townfolk that move here to the country - they all buy faux-SUVs, whilst the folk that have lived here for years tend to have Subarus, old Audis or 4x4 Skodas

Looking out the window to another 3" of snow overnight for the fourth night in a row, and not seeing temps above 0 deg C for over a week, I live somewhere where SUVs are very popular and 4wd is very useful. Yet my S4 Avant does everything an SUV can; nothing against anyone wanting one but I...

Unless it's Wales and the bicycles are speeding 🤣

Looks like I finally need a new clutch after 30k miles in my ownership. The release bearing is whining away so time to get it done. Any advice on where to get a clutch? Eurospares seem cheapest so far. I've just put my car away for the winter, and it's not long serviced so I won't be getting...

Love it, great spec but definitely get those wheels changed to silver ASAP!

I had the opposite on my 550, the oil pressure was going off the scale and the only reason the needle didn't go further was the stop. Same problem, was the sender gone bad

Multi-marque clubs seems to be more prevalent, certainly where I am in NE Scotland - to the detriment of things like here and the official FOC. When I was organising FOC runs, we would get 4-6 cars (as much as Aberdeen is a wealthy place, and most Ferraris in Scotland are sold here, we...

Indeed. It's a uniform now, along with the money-laundering haircuts

If you were a dodgy, townser-type with unnecessary jewellery who wears North Face puffer jackets even though it's summer, this plate would also suit you perfectly. PUFER

No but would be keen if you do find one

I think it's just your username
