Ha -- you guys got me. My username is an ode to Giggs. What an incredible player he is.
Just got the car delivered late last night. Here is a picture in the garage before it was delivered to me. Will upload some new photos once I get it out of my garage and into the driveway after this storm passes. I promise.
Yeah this is my first sportscar. Unreal I know. I am very very lucky. I will be very careful getting adjusted to using it. When I was a lot younger I raced cars (single seater stuff). But that was a long long time ago at this stage. And being on the road is very different to the track for sure.
Thanks for the tip PASM sport mode. will give that a try.
Has anyone gone to Auto Designs N.Y.C on 10th Ave?

Congrats! - great buy. I brought my old M5 to AutoDesigns back in 2009. Had them do a V1 rear view mirror concealed+ blinder front/rear diffuser.
Did a great job. The V1 unit was defective though - I brought it back and they swapped it right out - good return service. The only thing that bothered me was the limited amount of work space they have there. I got my car back with a 3 inch scratch on the door - they claimed it was there - but it was not - I just patched it up with Dr. Colorchip and you could never tell.
I drive into NYC everyday and like other before, don't worry about the lip - just replace as needed.
Good luck and enjoy! - see you at the track???

Hey guys,
Thanks again for all the tips. Going to go with the passport. Thanks for the feedback on autodesigns Rich. By the way, in the city are there any garages you would recommend for cars with low clearance? Just out of curiosity

Hah don't hold it against me.. I mean I was born and bred in London so I'm a Spurs fan (just feel sorry for me actually)... I remember that car! Belonged to a really nice fellow in SoCal! Came up for a week and we had some fun with it... It's good to see it alive and kicking
! That was an EVT700 from days of old but the software was updated at least a year or so ago so you're EVOMSit'd:P It was tuned for 91 but I'm not sure what you have out there (93?). If it's 93 then it could use a little more aggro!

Hey guys,
I noticed the tpc sensors in the wheels seemed to have died yesterday. I am guessing the batteries within died. Does anyone know a reliable spot where I can get those replaced in westchester or nyc?

Hi,
Apologies in advance if this is annoying. This is my first sportscar and I am completely overwhelmed. Was wondering if anyone could offer a newbie some tips on what to do/ what not to do. My first order of business was scraping the lip! Read up on driving in at an angle afterward. Just wondering what to do when dealing with car parks in NYC if anyone has any experience? What to do for gas?
Any other common problems or pitfalls to avoid? Anything cool to do that people overlook?
Was also thinking of getting radar and laser jammer, saw someone recommended ai design for the install. Has anyone used them?
Again sorry these questions are so naive.
