Picked up my new Plus Four from Krazy Horse yesterday, Friday. Dan did a great job for us although it all took a little longer than any of us would have hoped. What a car. Now down in Gestingthorpe in Essex for a weekend away in it. Came straight here from Bury St Edmunds and already done 200+ miles in it. It's an auto which is great in town but out on the open road in Sport using the paddles it is superb Not tried Sport Plus yet but looking forward to it. I am six feet tall and the hood frame is not an issue for me at all. I would post a photo if I could work out how to do it.
Best regards,
John

I have had a look at the guide to posting a picture and am no further forward. I have worked with computers since the late 60s and fell at the first hurdle with the instructions. Does anybody have an idiot's guide written in simple English describing how to attach a picture to a post?
Hopefully yours,
John

OH MY LORD what a day….ranking up there with one of those “best ever” days.
Cannot speak highly enough of Shane my v v patient instructor. He was brilliant. I am not a great driver (ambition exceeds ability) but he got me going faster and faster over the course of the day, including using the paddles for most of the afternoon session. I learnt the limits of the new Plus Four (fortunately we used an MMC supplied car rather than Belle for all but about 6 laps). This is one amazing car and ruddy ruddy quick. Shane was engaging and so helpful and coached improvement bit by bit (he is development driver for MMC, current single seater racer, involved with Aston Martin amongst much more car stuff - absolutely fascinating guy to talk to all day long), really helped build my confidence ragging a Morgan at its limits (or at least as close as I could get!!!). All day was spent flat out but learning where you need to go slower in order to go quicker round the track… Bicester Heritage itself is a fantastic place to go-all the old RAF buildings are full of different companies with focus on old restored or maintained cars of all sorts n flavours-everywhere you looked there was something different that caught the eye.
I really could go on but…in summary I definitely 100% recommend this experience. I was and still am absolutely shattered but v v happy with the whole day. Wow wow wow!

Many thanks for completely failing to disguise your enjoyment of your day out. Looks like you had a wonderful time.

Congrats John. You now own a right beast if you want it to be👍
The car I drove (not necessarily the one in the picture - you can see there are others in the garage…) had sports exhaust (which popped a treat) and the new style hood. I thought it was a tad quieter than mine when we had it up for a while. In all honesty I didn’t notice the “arms” digging into my shoulder at all when it was down, just touched it. I guess that could be due to seat position/my height but really not an issue for me.
Paul - what gave it away??? 🤣🤭🤪
The car handled it far better than I and the only visible sign of hard driving was v slight wear/marking on the tyre walls. Amazing bit of kit….

Good morning HB,
Yes mine is a 22MY so has the new hood which is very much easier to put up and down and as I said at six foot tall the frame is nowhere near me.
