    Are there any shades that come in one layer and/or triple layer?

    Also here is a pretty great pic: https://www.instagram.com/p/BJJQGP9jvbT/

    Was the Bamford GTO TDF paintwork/shields done at the factory or after market ?

    You mean tailor made of completely outside of Ferrari? It looks tailor made as the proportions of the livery are spot on, bigger shields, blue wheel accents etc.

    I also think it would be TM, but since Bamford has crazy $$$ I'm sure he could get whatever he wants with an after market facility.

    Nice vid thanks for posting. Seems as though Alonso is the perfect example of what I've been saying about the GTO - you need to be a World class driver to truly take advantage of the GTO's extreme capabilities and performance envelope. Also seemed as though Alonso was not using the paddles on the track (at least to upshift) and just kept the car in auto (maybe I'm mistaken as my eye sight isn't what it used to be).

    He was using the paddles with his middle finger.

    Taz you have great eyes as I couldn't see his middle finger move the gear levers in the video. Makes sense though. Not many drivers can claim mastery of a GTO like that although I wouldn't be surprised if this particular example needed a fresh set of rubber and brake pads (and maybe a clutch) after Alonso threw it for a biblical beat down.

    Wow Taz that is one massive monitor.

    I'd love to see an onboard video of someone like Alonso doing a full lap in the GTO on a vaunted track like the Ring.

    I had the incredible chance to drive a GTO last night - what an incredible machine. You owners are lucky - congrats on being able to play with such a fantastic car. I am still giddy.

    Congrats on obtaining a GTO and pictures with that background make the car look that much more better. Is that a showroom OR you garage...?

    Thanks. It's my garage. Was still building my new home when I bought this car last December so wasn't able to take pictures of it until recently when we moved in.
