918 will murder everything off the line, but Matt's car is quite a bit more powerful than a 918, when up in speed it will reel a 918 in and go past. Previous Vmax I only ran my car in lowest power setting and still comfortably beat LaF, Veyron etc.
I went up against the 918 twice - first time i was over the line ahead of the 918 and pulling away , the second the 918 crossed the line first but the 918 was definitely being reeled in . If we were at Brunters it would have been 2-0 to 9e over the line no question at all as Dunsfold is only half the length but the 918 definitely won on the beauty stakes.
Henrik - sorry you couldn't make it today, you would have been worried at lunch time as you were not in your normal first place.... Winding the boost up did the trick after that - and yes the braking was a bit interesting.

Not correct......
The fact that the 10 year old CGT has done under the 6Klms means that the NMT test has been met, end off VAT has to be paid on purchase price import to the UK....QED.....
The Eu VAT point is a side show that's up to Eu seller to recover or what ever......
This is why me and Sam did not buy the CGT, the VAT on top put the car to dear....
As an in the round point, there are some circumstance's in which a NMT vehicle does not attract import VAT.....ie, armed forces, disabled person, but for present purpose if it meets NMT vat to be accounted for in the uk on import,

Haha Matt, I think Gary was a little intimidated driving my car, I told them by lunch to increase power from 4th and onwards
I have had my fun at Vmax, you should have won. Wonder what speed the 918 was recording, they are bloody quick cars.Looking forward to run them side by side on Brunts.

No point arguing with you mate. It's not an Act.
Here it is for anyone who wants to read it. It could not be clearer really. Now maybe your "out" here is that you are a car trader? In which case section 8 applies to you.

Some carbon wing bits and the wheels
Changed my mind , this happens every 5 minutes
Mate cutting the rear wing off with a hack saw won't make any differenc e , I think you truly don't grasp how fast the z9x cars are . At bruntingthorpe the Vikings car will be 100 metres in fron to you at the beams . One hundred metres mate

You are wrong, both conditions have to be met as you can clearly read in the VAT Notice 728 you just quoted...
A car is NOT considered a new means of transport if it has more than 6 months AND it has travelled more than 6000 kms...a 10 yrs car that has 100miles on the odometer will be considered a new means of transport by HMRC hence liable to pay VAT in the UK even if this has been paid already in another EU member state. It's your care after you paid VAT in the UK to ask for a reimbursement in case VAT was already paid in the EU country of first registration! Been there, done that...many times!

Sorry I've just re read this and you are right. A car is not new if it satisfies both conditions. I'd missed the NOT bit of the new.
Please accept my humble apologies.

The 918 was amazing Baf, sounded good, looked good and went off the line like a scolded cat.
Matt's 9exx could only start in 2nd today because of a software BEAVERch, but still caught up - here is it against my 964 lol.... http://youtu.be/bZH6LJ-D_rA
Wish I could afford a 918

No problem, this CGT threw me, due to the low miles it was a barn find, I did hope that there was a way round the NMT, but not so even though it was 10 years old, me Sam, DK engineering and Tom H all tried but the VAT just killed the price,

Yes, it was sad to hear you had a Delhi-Belly in France(!)...you were missed on the runway....though it looks like Gary may be a faster driver than you
