Searching for a V8 Convertible - which options
I reverse in and use the mirrors to see where the rear wings are. Fold the mirrors for the time it takes to get them through the door then fold them out again.cj10jeeper wrote: βThu Jun 25, 2020 9:47 pmId agree to seek folding mirrors, but not to go through a narrow garage door. Mine opened are 1β inside the door frames and are the only way Iβm certain Iβm aligned to avoid scraping the very wide and vulnerable wings.XZ4 wrote: βTue Jun 23, 2020 8:20 pm One of my must haves was folding door mirrors to make it easier to get through my single garage door. Couldn't believe they were a paid for option on a car of this value. My other must haves were 20" alloys, Meridian stereo, Performance seats with heating and Switchable sports exhaust. Ended up getting one with all these and much more.
Reversing back out is only possible using the mirrors to see the rear corners.

It just takes a quick search of he internet to see what JLR ex-demo (read ex directors car) get put through.
Must admit I've been around Millbrook in a few of them, and you'd most probably not tell the difference until 5 or 10 years down the line when the suspension rubbers pack up prematurely.
NAC's car is nice...you'd never tell it was a 'cut 'n shut' (JK!)

I went there in 2014 for an "F-Type beyond limits" session. So many F-Types! There were 4 groups, a drive round the "road" circuit, a few laps of the banked oval (130mph!) a blast up the straight mile (165mph!) and then being driven by a pro round the "handling circuit", which was very uncomfortable (helmets needed for that one)! Brilliant experience.

I only managed 156mph on the drag straight... Forgot to put it in sport/dynamic mode! Doh!
The Alpine circuit was my fave... Bit tight/twisty, even for the V6.
I have a USB stick with some great camera footage from that day... I'll post it when I get back to Blighty.

I just floored it and let it do its thing! Just remembered to brake hard at the three quarter mile marker!
Although it was quick I didn't get the shove in the back I was expecting. However, mine gives me that!
How did you get away with that? They were putting stickers over camera lenses when I went.

We weren't allowed cameras either... Good job as there were Aston Martin Zegato prototypes being put through there paces and what a beautiful sight that was!
Cameras were mounted in the cabin looking at the occupants, and overlaid with car rpm/speed if I remember correctly.
