    Which event or organization did you run with at Laguna?

    I'm thinking of moving my Speciale to be based out of NorCal due to all the amazing nearby tracks, but that means I lose access to some great driving roads.

    By the way, is your Speciale lowered? It seems pretty close to bottoming out on the corkscrew.

    SpeedSF had a 105dB weekend this weekend. Speciale with a full Ti exhaust and high flow cats had no problem passing sound!

    Yes, I'll probably get the suspension tweaked a bit to get a tad more clearance. Turn 6 and the Corkscrew were tight for suspension clearance.

    Same here. Just couldn’t bring myself to do it unless I absolutely had to for some unexpected reason,

    I’m little jealous of y’alls assembly line pics, but sometimes the best things come to those who (have to) wait. If you don’t have a Speciale and are throwing down $400k for anything other than a Speciale, in my opinion, you’re smoking crack.

    I just went out to my carriage house today to clean a bike and walked into the garage area and thought - I can't believe this car is my garage. What a machine!!

    It was sold before the big price rises for a very good reason - "Family first"
    Watch this space we'll be back in a Speciale soon - Best car on the planet!!
    Hopefully we'll be able to get this one back - I know where it is....;)

    Your car is my UK twin to my NZ Speciale (apart from the brakes colour by the looks of things). Kudos to your good taste!

    Indeed! Brothers from the same mother living on opposite sides of the globe! I think you’ve got more CF than mine. Did you keep the centre stripe TDF blue?

    Do you have two different front seats?

    There must be a good reason.

    Please tell.

    Yes. I found the original seats in the Speciale to be very uncomfortable. Not enough padding where it counts, and the lumbar hit me in just the wrong place. The driver's seat is from an Enzo. It is very comfortable and supportive. I haven't installed the other Enzo seat in the passenger side yet because I still need to get the airbag sensor installed in the bottom seat cushion before I can install it.
