F type disappointment...

I haven’t even got a job Gaz...!! .I’m one of the great un-washed.... :lol:

Think it’s got to be either a 35is or a 3.4 981 PDK. A 35is is a nose length ahead simply because it’s cheaper and hopefully in a year or so a new Zed M140i will be nestling on the driveway if the reports so far are anything to go by.

Tuscan convertible should offer what you are looking for. Very frugal and all manual input. No abs or anything.

His family despair

Sounds like he's spending the inheritance Ron

Im sure he is! He seemed to have a good outlook on life.

He said that he has some petrol in his blood - and I had to smile when he talked of 500+ Bhp being “enough” at his age and not wanting to be overly extravagant.

I assume the paddles were not the Alu ones?

I quite liked the Alu ones when tested.

(I'm not sure lots of travel is desireable unless for a purpose? McLaren's probably have the best feel i've seen but they're certainly not a 'Manly' event - quite precise click and thin carbon paddles).

They were the alu ones Jimmy, if you feel a Porsche’s paddles they have a groove cut into the paddle that fits your fingers very nicely, not just a flat surface, plus there’s a good amount of travel. I sat in a California T the other day, they have huge paddles in line with the edge of the steering wheel with good travel and the same groove as Porsche have, perfection! The Porsche ones would be perfect if they were in line with the edge of the wheel too, but as all others they’re still not long enough, you have to reach round too much. It’s a small irritation but it makes a big difference.

I agree it can certainly affect your impression of a car! I did once go around goodwood FoS and test all the cars paddles for that reason.

Easy solution for you - buy a manual

Maybe your hands are too small, you should inquire if they supply different steering wheels for women :lol:
