Nice.
I've not been in a newer one for a few years now, but the howl of that engine at high revs makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

When I got my Spec C a few years ago I went on a driver training day. One of the cars was a GT3. Don Palmer took me around the track in it and within 30s I knew that I had to own one. It wasn't particularly quicker in terms of lap times than the Spec C, about the same, but that noise!!!!!! Once you have heard it there is no going back

Thank you for all the brilliant comments guys. I do intend to drive it most days and am really looking forward to getting it freed up on the tarmac at the Grudgement Days, SSO and TOTB as an honorary member of the Scooby Team (well it is a boxer engine )
I do hope that most would like to enjoy the car - and I will happily come along to events if people want to see it. As I said it is a privilege to own it and if that can be shared then all to the good
As for the looks - well they are a bit marmite - but the best thing is that from inside I can't see the outside
And being inside it, driving, is what counts

What an incredible car, and great to hear business is good for you, enjoy the spoils of your hard work Mr Trout.
LOL. Totally agree, I hovered over the ban button but Trout took it in his stride and it diffused itself, but I must admit, I had to laugh at the sneaky "Golf In A Dress" retort after hours. ROFLOL

I know there is a long term member on here who has just bought a TT-RS, who is in Aberdeen who stopped posting the very same day LEO-RS was created.
Of course there could be two members from Snet, with TT-RSs who are both live or work in Aberdeen; who by coincidence do not post on here at the same time.
