Looks great! Are you going to close it in, or just leave it open? Not sure how much the elements will affect your lift/cars where you are...

...going to close it. Some Wood is ordered and expected to arrive on thursday. We could get chilly winters around here with temperatures down to -10°C .... so possibly I'm going to isolate it too.

Good idea!

Here it gets down to -40C, so no chance I can ever have an open carport

Agreed! ... we have a number of parallels in our car fleet by the way

Read the article on it yesterday; seems like a pretty sweet ride, just over 3000lbs, should be fun to drive.

What did I do today? I drove The Ghost to work.
There is something very satisfying about leaving the office and seeing a turbo waiting in the parking lot for you.
I don't daily it. But I have been driving it a lot this summer. I have noticed my work commute has been reduced by 5 minutes.

Dropped it off at the shop for an oil change and have the Rennkit eRam on going issue troubleshot. It looks like the Micro Module has some corroded contacts on the circuit board. Going to start with getting this replaced first to see if it resolves the intermittent spoiler issues I've been having resolved. It is a shame that it isn't better weather sealed, I was not the original purchaser so I do not expect any warranty on it but it does kinda suck that this kit is only about 4 years old. Open to suggestions on how to better weatherproof the replacement.
