OP: Get that tubi fitted
Those neighbours on the 10th will be awoken to the finest Italian orchestra 
Only thing that annoys me with this video though is Rolex boy behind the wheel keeps over revving it on the downshifts

On the 430 it seems its a trip to the dealer to get that done, they can also measure the wear for you.
* See that? That was very technical for me!
£1300 notes for a dealer to change the volvo clutch or £1800 if they do the proper job with the dual mass flywheel (which they didn't on mine
)I did try to convince her a Prius on the drive and a 360 spider in the garage made more sense
Yeah it's a bit weird the paddles not moving with the wheel. Do you find that much of a problem OP? Is it easy to select gear still with plenty of steering lock?

That's just 1 thing, but I was equally concerned by someone thinking that chewing gum whilst driving on a circuit was a good idea.

Agree. Put me off completely and I couldn't watch more than a minute or so ...

I assume the fllappy paddles wouldn't let him downshift to the point of terminal detriment but he's doing it very early then shifting up early too
I think one or two track sessions is fine but regular will take its toll on a car I agree
He's not a tidy driver, compare how busy he looks to this

As has my friend's GTR. £30k loss from new almost 4 years ago, plus very expensive running costs. Scary stuff.

And he knows...
I looked towards the GTR when I bought the M. I think as a family motor it is about the ultimate bar a Masser Gran Turismo which has more style but will be slower by a margin I imagine...
Mmm
