Itchy feet with the delays - Show me yours

[BeHappy]

No way, I can't believe you have the next model up from mine (you bugger lol). You have lots of upgrades!
Great half fat e mtb. Love mineView attachment 7428

Eee how cool are we lol Cool photo, absolutely LOVE my ickle Rise. I had a Levo SL then Levo Expert now Rise. She started as a M10 and had to wait quiet a while for all the parts but changed: stem, carbon wheels, Axs wireless, XX1 Cassette & chain, Fox dropper, XTR 9120 brakes, saddle, cranks, Shimano display, tyres, hub and grips lol
This is also why I need a small car as my bike has pride of place in garage also. Soz off topic but not like I have a car to burst about

No I love it and it's my thread so don't worry
Impressive list of mods.
Totally unnecessary but I do need to upgrade to the Fox dropper post so that the gold stantions match the forks... Oh and it defo needs new tyres, just waiting for some Continentals to come into stock.
My normal bike is out of action so will be on the Rise as soon as I finish work today at 2pm! Enjoy

Full collection video to come as I am picking the car up on Tuesday.

I could not help myself. Those who know my 'story' will know I was originally looking at specific Italian supercars and then the Emira got announced.

Now, given the delays, and not wanting my summer wasted, I saw what I thought was a Bobby Bargain.. a manual F430 Spyder in good condition and with good history.

How does this leave the C63 and Emira...., Well, the C63 went up for sale yesterday. Emira? Not sure now.

Excited??? I thought I was excited about the Emira...

[Evotion]

Well, I have a 4 hour drive back home after collection.
If the car is a bit lighter when I arrive I will let you know that it might have been a mistake

That looks like it's in ridiculously good condition!
How did you find that?
That and the coupe Emira be amazing. Maybe the auto i4..... #yinandyang

 

[Mctaff]

3.0si, manual, normally aspirated, even got what has to be a great plate: AN52BMW (N52 engine for those not in the know)

Same as mine. Except I've got F1 430 and manual Emira!
I'm still excited about the emira though

 

[Evotion]

Yeah, I really, really wanted the Manual F430 (or a wicked spec 458 Spyder in Fuoco or Fiorano) for a while now. Saw the manual and called up immediately.

For a while, I might well have two manuals (Emira and Ferrari) and two Autos (Bentley GTC and C63)

One has to go.... well, one is.. The Mercedes is up for sale now. The next car I am looking out for (with my #1 spec) is an FF as I need another sexy 4 seater.

 

[First Lotus]

I really wished the emira was a 2+2.would have filled a great hole in the garage... I too could do with a sexy 4 seater. But my wife says there's not point having a fast 4 seater as when the kids are in the car I am only allowed to drive slowly! But I fancy something nice to take the family out.
458 is an amazing car. Had one for a 3 day Wales driving trip. Beautiful. But too good/fast for me... I prefer having to wring it's neck a bit more.

 

[Tonyshepp]

I’ve always drooled over Rapide S, especially from 2015 onwards with the better gearbox. That and the Vanquish were my next cars until the Emira turned up.

Yeah, that's why there is a strong case for the F430 being the sweet spot and certainly one that will now appreciate well, in percentage terms, relatively speaking. Still analog, where even the amazing 458 gets a bit too easy.

I did look at a Rapide but the FF has it covered in nearly every single area IMHO - close in some. Extra 2 doors is a boon, and price.
More space in the back. I do really like it and always shout out when I see one baring in mind I am 1 mile from the 2nd largest Aston dealer in the UK.

Went back to Porsche. Turbo S this time.

Top driveway. Winning at life

 

[Evotion]

Yeah nice. Proper Porsche!! Nobody has any beef with one of those.
Not had one yet.
I really wanted the new 992 GT3 but, of course, the dealer laughed at me when I asked about one.
haha.,
