white + clearbra = yellowing, not a good idea

Good news though, I am transporting the Superleggera and Vantage to the Cape in December. Should be able to get some breathtaking photos on the roads there!

Congrats again. I will really be interested in your impressions of the comparison between the V12V and the Lambo SL. My friend has a Lambo Sl and I keep warning him that if the V12V comes here, I will be giving a him a run for his money. I would love to hear an opinion of the 2 cars without bias. By the way, what cape are you speaking of?

I know what you mean about the yellowing, have seen it first hand and it looks terrible. However I think it is caused mostly by the car standing in the sun. With the amount of cars Mike has, I'm sure no one car will be spending too much time baking in the sun. Plus yellow clearbra is far better than a stone chip.
Those pics are going to be epic, can't wait. Also can't believe you still haven't picked her up, you must have been really really busy or you are just far more
patient than I am.
Jay, Mike is talking about Cape Town South Africa.

Of course I will! To be honest, I think SL might still be a tiny bit quicker - then again the Vantage has suprised me thus far. Will let you know!

Mike can I ask, when you take the cars down to the cape can you feel any noticeable difference in power due to the altitude change. I see all the magazine tests indicate where the car is tested and in one of the latest reviews of a nissan GT-R there was a .3 second difference in the 0-100 kmph time between the coast and the reef. Taking those two down there will probably mean an extra 20 kw each
