4trac:

and btw now that family is safe and sound.... how is the new SVR treating you? 

Sun was ready to place an order for a 2017 svr in nz, so he rented one in LA for the run north.  Just to be sure.  it was cheap revelation just as renting a 458 spider had been.

the svr is quick, but the exhaust sounds like a harley - puerile and stupid loud even before you push the sport exhaust button and totally embarassing if you do.  The seats mimicked porsche buckets but were quite uncomfortable and showed lots of wear at limited miles.  And driving a sport revealed a prior life conclusion:  Sun is not a RR guy, even though they are truly the most all around 4wd.  On to other things.

He's ordering a new raptor for usa laughs, and may just hang with the yeep which has proved itself superb off road, at least for this winter (july-august).
