    RIP Ken Block

    What a shame. RIP Ken. I very much enjoyed most of what he did. A true car fan too, there's a great video of him going to the pub in a RS200 with a fellow owner.

    Evo Car Of The Year 2022 - The most important opinion of them all.

    The mc20 won? Blimey. Sort of scuppers my plans of getting a cheap semi used one a a decent price . But seriously great news for the brand..

    I Drove a Regular Granturismo Followed by an MC Stradale back to back

    Late here, OP, but that clunkiness/lurching in first gear will disappear over time as you get used to it, and also, when you let the F1 system prime longer before start-up - put the key in and turn to the position just before the starter motor spins, and wait until the airbag light stops...

    Drive train shunt

    Is it a Gran Tourismo MC Shift or autobox? Not quite sure what car you have.. Either way a diff clunk is very metallic and noticeable. Probably bushings as Zep states.

    What a load of shite

    I'd have one. But I'd have to be rich and already have a mc20 in the garage. Neither of which appear to be happening soon. They'll sell some, I'm sure.

    Another new MC20

    I'd say that is a manufacturing fault, they popped the wrong or incorrectly treated bolts in. I would definitely complain. The gran tourismos have that problem too with the engine cover (the big plastic things) that I my case was solved by painting them. Oh, and I stopped wet-washing the car too.

    What is the consensus on the GranTurismo MC?

    They are very easy to take off and weigh. Probably 30 mins max per side, even for the home mechanic like myself.

    MC Shift – What type of gearbox is it really?

    fun fact: you can bump start a MC Shift car, ignition on, good push and a couple of right paddle clicks and off she goes. Ask me how I know, some other time.

    That colour really makes sense in your pictures. Not having seen a 20 in real life I had discarded that hue from my imaginary build, as it was too "Ferrari". But it looks wonderful. The updates of ownership experience are very much appreciated, please continue and enjoy.

    The Italian mistress (Gransport Spyder 2006)

    I've just caught up on this thread, credit to you pushing through the grief and getting on with it. The builders seem to be doing a great job too. I'd be tempted not to skimp now while the engine is open. Do the very best job you can afford. Nothing worse than "pushing on" with a lovely motor...

    What features do you like most about your Granturismo?

    Same. And the wafer-thin, clackety manual carbon front seats.
