That’s a beauty! Big congratulations!

Quite the lineup there, congrats on the new 911. What are your thoughts on the cullinan? Especially vs the g63?

Congrats! Love those wheels. I’m trying to get a luxury version but want those wheels as the 22s just don’t look right to me.

I’ve seen some cool mods on the GX forum with the Luxury model with the OT wheels and even some with the new Tundra TRD wheels that look great. I think the ride quality will be better too having the larger tire sidewall.

You’ll love the new GX if you decide to go that route.

I’ll check those out. I’m hoping they will add 18s as an option for 2025 models as you can get them on the LX. I test drove an overtrail and a luxury, the ride quality with the overtrail was noticeably better. If overtrail had the pano roof I’d buy one.

Enjoy your new ride. If you run into any problems please let us know. There are quite a few GX/LX fans here.

The cullinan rides like a cloud —makes most of my other vehicles feel very rugged by comparison. Long roadtrips in it are sublime. It does make it hard to step into another suv/luxury car once you get used to it 😅

Where I’m at it sticks out a lot tho, so I have to watch where I take it. My third day owning it I stopped at a fairly busy shopping center to pick up food and came out to someone attempting to break in…

Loving the RR it’s sad that you have to be conscious on where you take it. Great collection also.

***New Addition Alert***

My new to me “beach car” while in South Italy. It has a neck breaking 39bhp coming out of a 1.1L four banger ripper. It has a 5spd manual that you get to row yourself. Loads of fun. I can park it anywhere and literally fits in my duffle bag lol!!!
2003 Fiat Seicento

I can scrape it, curb rash it and gently bumps and tap myself into bicycle parking spots.

Nothing like redlining a 90s euro sh*tbox every gear. Drive it like you hate it

So much bragging and posturing on this thread. Makes it hard for me to read and still feel good about myself!

Great addition. I remember when I spent some time living in Italy… received advice that when parking on flat ground you should leave the car out of gear so that when other cars bump you “gently” while parking, you minimize risk of transmission damage.

Love it. I have a Mini now that I basically do the same with and it’s weirdly giving me a rethink about extravagant cars. Something to be said about just general cheap and cheerful vehicles.

Haha, no dents….but there are matching key marks down both sides. I guess the previous owner peed someone off.

Woah woah woah! As much as I love beating on this and parking it with ease….i miss the two beasts at home. I am constantly thinking how the red car would love to be driven in these mountains and twisties where it was born

Haha. Love the 812. My favorite current Ferrari. I believe I would feel the same at that level of beast. My extravagant cars aren’t quite there yet. Mine are still daily driver level extravagant. Although I think I could live with an 812 as a DD.



Although I love it. Ferrari engined twin turbo v8 north of 500hp, most of my commute and driving is more suitable for the Mini/ similar equivalent.

Love the 812 again. My favorite Ferrari at the moment.

Went for a local track day recently and it was an amazing time. It's only my 2nd track day ever and I was able to improve quite a lot compared to the first time I went (which felt a bit overwhelming to be honest). I realised I'm not a great driver and the car is capable of so much more than I can do. It also sounds completely insane going all out with an aftermarket exhaust on.

I drove about 1,000km round trip through some sections of rough roads and heavy rain and the car did not skip a beat. I can understand why these GT cars are loved by so many.

Thanks. I've got the BC Fabs inconel catback on it. Sounds completely insane on the track.

Attached one more photo that turned out pretty nice, I'm already missing the experience!
