Default Pics Of My Replacement For the Scooby

It was a long wait from when I sold my beloved Type R to getting it but after three and a half years it arrived! Had a years gap betweeen the scoob and this.

Been on the road for three months now and all I can say is its perfect.

Some pics are from the dealer when it first arrived and some from home

Enjoy

Can't argue with that. What do you do for a living?

Well, there are various claims for 0-60 times but around the 4.5 mark i would say.

Quick enough anyway

lol, oops! Not quite sure why I did that.

To be honest with regards to the twisty stuff, its very capable. I do miss the feel of the scoob but this feels really planted. Just looking forward to warmer days with dry roads, at the moment its just wanting to spin the wheels up when you put the power down.

Did think about the Gallardo, and its a very nice car but Just not for me really....

Very very nice. Look awsome on Black. Nice to see not another Red one with Cream interior.

As posted earlier, what do you do for a living?

House behind looks very nice too.

How old are you?

Enjoy the car mate

Yeah, its pretty boring to see them over and over in Red. Thought I would go for the stealth look

I am 27 so still quite young

In the print business, from garments to vans and anything in between really

I cant wait tbh. Its been on the road since Jan so not had many nice dry days.

The Manietto switch does allow you to adjust the level of the T/C system (which is very good). Basically, you can decide how crazy you want to be ...just waiting for some nice days to use Race mode

Fantastic car and what an upgrade from an Sti to a 430! Most people would go Sti ... M3 ... 911 ... then maybe one day (wishing) ... but you went straight to the top and at such young age, congrats!
