...to pick up my car five days early!











Done my first 75 miles.

What an AWESOME car!!!

The ride is closer to a Jaguar Sport rather than raw GT3, until you press the SPORT button. Great for general driving until you want to make it as hard as nails.

The engine is sublime - tractable and easy going. Press the pedal and at 4k rpm it feels like you have been hit in the back by a lorry load of lions. The noise is something else, the surge in power is amazing. Keeping the revs down a little until I get another couple of hundred miles on the clock.

 

nice

Very very nice, You need a local builder to convert your outbuildings into a nice garage,
(ask Glyn about mine)

 

If ever one car can scream "Mid-life Crisis" this would be it.






























I'm only jealous

Nice house too.

 

Stunning my favourite colour combo

 

I am sure I asked you for a quote once? I have to be careful though as my next door neighbour is also a builder

 

This (in the background)...















Mind you wifey is not in the good books as she reversed the old 5 series into some other yummy mummy's car at nursery!

 

Not one, but three dustbins!
My, she's a lucky laydee.

 

Very nice indeed. How much different does it feel to the old GT3?

 

Stunning car and house Trout but in the sun light that colour does almost look brown does it not!!

 

^^ To match his elbow patches

So far I would say there were more differences than similarities.

Not as edgy from a chassis perspective - the new one is very well damped and controlled. Much more compliant on general driving (but there is a Sport button).

Throttle and engine much more urgent - even though it is still tight. Indeed Autocar said it took time to adjust to how responsive it was.

Engine noise - WOW

Mechanical noise - sounds like a race car - at idle it chunters away, flywheel making a hell of a noise - clunky gear engagement - but smooth as silk once moving.

Obviously much less soundproofing but not noisier overall - just different.

Sounds mental on the Sport setting - even at 2,500 rpm.

Massive grip and stability in corners.

Much better quality (if still simple) interior.

And in all this it even had grown up car stuff - uprated hifi with full iPod integration (sounds and works well), sat nav and aircon.

Super.

Just been to fill it with V Power and when I was there I got invited to be in a music video (well the car anyway!)

 

Trout.

Please tell me that your wife is a fat pig and you've got a 2 inch ****.


You Git

 

It's quite understated isn't it

 

I decided to go for the understated colour scheme

 

You are right about the *****

















* I presume you are talking about diameter

 

i'm not remotely jealous.....................................MUCH

a 911 is definately my next car (but not one of those)

very very dribble worthy well done,you must be doing something right

 

Walked out of my job almost six years ago and set up my own business

I have been VERY lucky

 

Stunning
