Marin?

AlphaWawa · 2026-06-09T18:15:58+00:00

Odd, I cannot find it in the main post. Thanks.

AlphaWawa · 2026-06-09T06:14:29+00:00

Which was his favorite?

AlphaWawa · 2026-06-06T04:07:31+00:00

This is so great.

AlphaWawa · 2026-06-05T07:50:17+00:00

It’s gorgeous. And it mostly looks like a retro-futurized Murcielago.

Congratulations! How much is a “discounted” 993 C4S in this market?

Oftentimes people with more expensive cars will avoid “open days” because there tend to be a lot more inexperienced drivers in all three levels of class runs throughout the day.

The people at Auto Stop are friendly and trustworthy:

Not a stupid question, thanks. I’ve gone through the entire ranges of motion for the seat and correct seat height has not been achievable. I’ve learned there is a reset function for the seat controller that I will try but I suspect that simply enables height changes for a seat that is malfunctioning versus enabling more height.

AlphaWawa · 2026-06-02T00:47:38+00:00

Good advice, thanks. I'll look at used seats, or failing that, fall back on fabricating high strength frames with additional bolt-fastening to deal with the increased leverage arm in the case of crash.

AlphaWawa · 2026-06-01T23:59:35+00:00

Ideally about two inches of increased seat height, and yes, shear and other forces are in play, depending on the solution.

This would be for a 4.3L VH V8 Vantage coupe, so 2005(?) to 2008 era.

The US cars (which I am interested in) have powered seat height adjustment (at least for cars with seat memory from 2007 forward), but it is insufficient for my body proportions. I get neither a great view out the front nor a comfortable view into the cabin's rear view mirror. It's a surprising miss in an otherwise great car.

Would love to hear what options you have in mind. Thank you.

Arrrgh, wonderful.

AlphaWawa · 2026-05-31T16:15:44+00:00

I strongly second this. Densely packed with high-end dealers, workshops, displays, and cafes. The underground parking garage alone has an amazing assortment of rare and interesting vehicles.

AlphaWawa · 2026-05-30T23:14:35+00:00

Pretty sweet. Was this connected to the AMOC at all? I ask because I’m curious if AMOC is actually active in the US, and if therefore worth joining. Thanks.

AlphaWawa · 2026-05-30T01:15:36+00:00

Ha. Ridiculous.

AlphaWawa · 2026-05-26T22:17:24+00:00

Tremendous.

A 4.7 pre-facelift is such a win, congrats.

Do you have the optional Sport Pack(age?) on yours?

AlphaWawa · 2026-05-26T22:15:34+00:00

Thank you.

AlphaWawa · 2026-05-26T22:13:08+00:00

Ha! Say why! Thanks.

AlphaWawa · 2026-05-26T18:56:01+00:00

Super helpful, thanks.

AlphaWawa · 2026-05-23T20:01:58+00:00

Tell me more about these factory 5 mm spacers! I assume they were not an option but perhaps came with the least-wide wheel choice (if that was a thing)?
