Tesco 99 comes from vopac unlike their regular fuel which has zero additives.

Momentum is 99 Ron I thought???

Is that a good thing?

I've always used tesco super unleaded, mainly because I have a Tesco fuel genie card. But is it inferior fuel to say esso, bp or shell super?

The Macca manual says to put 98 Ron fuel minimum. But surely 97 stuff from bp and esso is ok? Or is tesco momentum at 99 Ron better?

Sorry to start up another fuel conversation.

I'm off to check on my new toy

I am totally in love with this car!! As it would seem everyone else is for that matter... Gets ALOT of attention, boys, girls young and old. People are stopping in the high street and in car parks taking photos and shit.. Not had this before and not sure I like it too much. I guess it comes with the territory of driving a super car.

The way this cars pulls in 2nd, 3rd, 4th...is relentless.. So much quicker mid range than the Porsche, despite having less torque. You know that penis fizz feeling you get when you go over a bridge/hump quickly or a rollercoster... Well this is exactly the feeling you get when you floor it. With the roof off and sport/ track activated you can't help but laugh out load and have the hugest grin on your face... What a machine

Plus I've just been shopping in Tesco (parked as far away as possible from everyone else) and got the weekly shop in the boot/trunk. See wifey, it is a sensible car with family and practical values

Don't hate me for long mate. You're welcome to have a go when we meet up next if I can have a go in your tuned M3

We'll definitely get some thing sorted. Will give you a shout during the week.

Your OK with all 3. Relax and enjoy.

Well there's only one thing I can say to this.

<best Monty Python impression> you lucky, lucky Ba$tard!!!

Seriously that is absolutely beautiful! You must be super chuffed!

I fell in love with the 675LT in bright green at Goodwood but your colour must be a close second!

Cheers Ade. I do feel super lucky. my mate sold his ultima and bought a used 458 Italian spider so they had to meet up

Macca wins in my eyes but I would say that

[Ricky44]

Colour is so good. Looks amazing! And looks so much better with the front registration plate left off.

Yeah I agree.. No plate wins.. It's in the trunk though and keeps falling off officer...

[Wills2]

The 650 looks the bollocks even next to the 458.

It goes without saying that is a fabulous and beautiful car

But I'm interested in how you get away without a front plate. I reckon even my incoming M4 would look a lot better without a front plate. Do you get any bother? Perhaps having a more exotic car cuts you some slack?

NOPE he's just got away so far.

[Apollo_1092]

Meeeehhhh...Seeing posts like this keep me motivated to continue to work my ass off. I saw one down in Austin at a Cars and Coffee and about crapped myself. Congrats!!!

I'm going to run mine without a front plate until I get stopped.

So have you told your dealer to leave the plate holder off then? And they were OK with that?

[TommyGuk]

Yep I've told my dealer not to put the front plate on and I'll just leave it in the front window as it's off to get detailed as soon as I get it.

Also another reason for not having them put it on is so they don't drill holes in the front bumper for it. Do it yourself and layer up some 3M tape to stick it on.

Thank you mate.. I certainly don't think I will get a more lenient rozzer if spotted, but I suppose I've just been lucky so far... I don't drive it daily so it's Defo more luck than judgement. The dealer I bought it from said that none of their Supercars have front plates when they leave the show room and it's at my discretion, but he sure didn't urge me to get one fitted. It's only a matter of time I guess but the plate's in the boot ready and waiting for my bracket to be fitted.. I have bought a smaller sticker plate too for when the inevitable happens.

Yep, told them to leave it off. As Tommy said, don't want them drilling the mount into the bumper as I have a shorter number plate.

[d4springer]

Just looks amazing! Actually I was driving side by side with a blue McLaren yesterday along a dually, I decided not to "try it on" or attempt a rev off as I reckon it would have beaten me easily haha!

[M5essex]

Sun out, roof down sounds like mini road trip time and pub lunch with a couple of mates there was a fair bit of filming and proper shots done for one guys YouTube channel that I can share if anyone's interested. Lots of editing to do but should be live after the weekend.
