^I feel privileged to have received the answer for free.

I've had a few people ask me about mine too.

Funny story from last night. H was sitting in the car waiting for me to come out of CTC. A mid 40's guy came up and parked his Pathfinder a few spaces away facing the Z4M. He got out and Heather heard him say to his teenage son....holy chit look at that Beemer. He then saw H in the car and covered his face with his hand in a bit of embarrassment.

^haha..... those are funny moments.

I had one where the father & son were pacing all around the car when I came out of a store.
As I walked up, I could hear the father telling the son how the hard top folded and changed it to a vert.

I've also had a few asking if it is a new pre-production car.

I presume said fee comes in a brown bottle with a red stag's head logo...

LOL. Maybe if it were a few years newer.

Pre-production- that's good.

The best one I had was the tire shop employee who saw a documentary on the production facility for them. He said the car is so fast they've never been to clock the top speed- and he was serious.

Y7 = White
L17NN = Lightnin'

They flat bedded the Lambo out pretty quickly, no pix.

^LUV that second picture. HAWT HAWT HAWT!!!

The white is stunning, the blackout grille is perfect and so are the wheel offsets. I can notice in the front with the additional camber.

Is that a 300 behind you?

Looks like gobs of fun. How much do tires suffer from a track day?

Thanks, pics are courtesy of Caddyshk.

Yeah, that's a full race prep'd 300TT. It's making crazy hp #s.

Tons of fun for sure & very addictive.
The tires get plenty of wear, but all in all they last pretty better than you might think.
Driving technique can make a big difference too.

They get worn on the outside shoulders and scrubbed up overall. Takes 250k+ of driving afterward to get all the rubber "marbles" off them, that get picked up on the track.

Ahhhh I get it now, thanks Wayne!

I couldn't figure it out and for some reason it was stuck in my head like an annoying song you hear on the radio that just won't get out of your head.

Cool plate Ian!
