I did get out on the board for a couple of hours and ride down to the lake.
I finally remembered I was on a lake!







Look at this lovely thing!

They gave me a bag of rice when I left, so all is forgiven!



Actually, everyone there was lovely, just the cock in the restaurant spoiled it.

Tim, that was an amazing trip!

I don't spend as much time as I used to on PH so I miss this stuff, that was an absolute blast! Huge respect.
You did more miles than I would take on with all the latest mod cons. Fabulous.

And lowdrag had some amazing stories to recount too. There's a mine of info on these pages that has to be preserved.

I tried to copy that wonderful pic of your car parked between the modern stuff to this thread but my digital foo is lacking. If someone can get it here I would appreciate it, it's on page 6 of Tim's thread I think.

Brilliant. Well done sir, respect.
Cheers!
Just back from a weekend helping my daughter move house. 450 miles for us, 10 for her! Plus no internet or phone signal!

Keep up the good work, you are an inspiration to many beer

This car is the first McLaren that has Apple carplay. Let that sink in.
I have 20 grand vans at work with carplay and android auto but this thing - which cost me the price of a house - has only got carplay.

I have always been android, just can't get along with apple stuff, completely lost in that world. Last few years I've been slapping a big phone cradle on the windscreen under the dashcam which means there's a lot of space-taking-up crap in my forward view.

So I realised if I buy an iPhone, stick a giff gaff in it then hide it in the cubby hole between the seats I can use that for waze and music and I wont need to mount anything on the windscreen.
Brilliant.

I initially got this all wrong but after some good advice from another PH'er I managed to get it all working. My own phone still works for calls and audio books and the carplay on the screen does everything else.

My guys at work turned off everything I don't need and the iphone will last 5 or 6 days in the car before the battery runs out so it's perfect for this trip.

You'd think.

Reminds me of an office Xmas lunch, my boss said to the wine waiter we'll have 3 bottles of that red rubbish and 2 of that white rubbish, the reply with a perfectly straight face was " actually sir THAT is the white rubbish and THAT is the red rubbish.

Mate, I start acting like a cock, you tell me I'm acting like a cock.
I couldn't be happier with that. This stuff isn't about what I do, it's about your reactions to what I do. There's no point otherwise.

Shall I actually talk about the fking car now? smile

No! You can all fk off now!

I'm going to tell endless stories about how super interesting I am and how when I told a joke in the bar everybody clapped!





So, there I was in the Discotheque car park when this Supermodel lent across the bonnet of my Ferrari, ran her fingers suggestively down my bicep and whispered "You never get really tired do you?" I took a long pull from my Gauloises, glanced at my Rolex and said...

She must have had the patience of a saint too.

I don’t think he’s got your 750S anymore Sway. That’s why we’re not getting any arty photos in the amazing scenery.
