Default My New toy, after an 8 month wait ;-)

well it took some time to arrive, in fact almost as long as it took to gestate the last kid, which incidentally arrived the same weekend however this is defo the last kid... 3's enough for anyone
I ordered it just as we found out about the new baby, and it arrived the same time how spooky is that... as the missuse may look at this i better say, i was looking forward to the new family member the most
so her she is, not had time to do some decent shots yet but hers a couple from tonight...







Colection
And the one gestated in a slightly different way


First impressions!
Of the car that is... OMFG this is quick... and very scary! although not really a road A-B tool, in fact its slower down the average b road than the scoob was... But get this thing down a smooth bit of road and its simply nuts... once you get all 4 change up lights on the wheel f1 stylie all hell breaks loose and its time to watch the world go backwards had a tangle with a zx10 tonight and after me loosing grip in third and him trying to keep the front down i was right behind with a huge grin... and i didn't have a lid on... The nearest thing i can decribe it as is when you see the in car shots on a twisty circuit in an f1 car, only at twice the pace... its just mad... mainly becouse there are familiar things around you but your so close to the ground! And 60-70 mph feels like warp factor 9...
Hopefully i'll be doing some in car vids and comparisons with the scoobs very soon, and the kind of vids we all like to see! real world suff...

Daz

that looks like a 220 or a 245, the sponge i think is there to reduce the intake noise on track days... its seemed louder than my 300 when i test drove the 245... more of a bark... Mine just sounds like a chain saw just started behind your head... and its instantanious too. Hit the load peddle fast and the reaction of the charger is crazy, 1/2 a second or less and your head gets the full effect... The 300 is rather quiet for my liking, the BB must very very restrictive, as there a 2.5" almost staight thru pipe to it, and no noise come out! I suppose to keep the SVA men happy... all is about to change though Scooby ownership has taut me something all is best not left alone!
