What? The front end looks great to me. That said it doesn't really say Porsche so it's a shame they couldn't include rounded headlights in some way.

That said I'm not that interested in all this hypercar nonsense. There's too big a market for rich people's playthings for my liking as it is.
I'm far more interested in things like the VW ID Buzz and the Alpine A290.

Which TVR did you own again?

I owned a TVR Tuscan S. A car hand built in by engineers from steel and fibreglass. It cost me £50,000, around the same price as a BWM M3 (probably cheaper) at the time. It had no safety features (apart from brakes and steering!), it was loud, smelled of leather and glue, and bits fell off sometimes.
It was light and fast, but it doesn't come close to the definition of a hypercar, or even a supercar for that matter.

Should have bought a value for money Polestar instead I guess.

Hand made in Blackpool no less! Very old school engineering company.

First win for Ferrari in nearly 60 years, 50 years after they last competed in front of a sell-out capacity crowd. I'm not a prancing horsie fan, but that is a monumental achievement.

Almost makes up for the total lack of success in other categories.Le Mans

I know but I now they're a bit hopeless again they're much more likable, kinda like the Mansell / Berger / Alesi era in the early 1990s.

After forever
On Sunday I was planning to remove auto pedal box and tailshaft in prep for the manual conversion. Went to move the car and it shat a fuel line clamp, fuel was spraying on the extractors. By the time I stuffed around cleaning things up and cursing the location of the clamp, it was too late to grab another one. So the productive day I had planned was spent sweeping out the shed and re-organsing stuff haha.

You posted photos of a TVR Cerbera at one stage.
Guessing he bought it around 2000 for that price, should have filled the garage 1970's GT's for instant retirement.
Ehhh... Actually there's a lot of things we could have bought in the year 2000 that would have made us very well off now.

That cost about 1/3 the price of the Tuscan S!

Interesting comparo of track focused tyres.
It's a pity that the Dunlop Direzza isn't available in 20 inch and the Yokohamas cost a freaking fortune. To put this in perspective: for the rear tyres on the GTR, the Nankang NS-2R in a 285/35ZR20 100Y TL NS-2R (180TW) costs $336, a Yokohama A052 285/35R20 104Y ADVAN A052 costs $765 with the AD09 coming in for a little less.
@Dales Cannon and the reviewer also mentioned the wear rate on the A052 so that's another black mark.

You can't own a $100k car, talk about putting carbon brakes on and then complain about tyre prices!
Tyres are the single biggest contributor to lap time (aside from the steering wheel attendant), just get the best thing you can for track use. I've got a mate with a very expensive IPRA car and he always runs second hand tyres, madness I reckon.
Can you go down in wheel size and run the 295/35/18 A050? I'm assuming you'll be buying a set of wheels anyway.
