Default Picked Up The Spec C Tonight

I picked up the Spec C tonight and I am over the moon with the car , it accelerates like rocket and handles like it is on rails.

I would just like to thank Richard for selling it to me and for having such a fantastic car.

I even stopped in on another member on the way home and took him out for a quick demonstration of the acceleration and handling.

Also thanks to Dylan for coming to view the car with me on Sunday.

Great to hear you're happy with your choice. I bet it's quick, and weighs bugger all too

Good luck with your new love, i hope you'll both be very happy together.

I would have been but I forgot I had garden rubbish to clear and take down the civic amenity site, pretty lame excuse I know but I couldn't put it off any longer.

Hope the car search is successful, I had my A3 TDi Quattro tweaked to around 170 bhp / 310 lbs ft torque and it used to give quite a few hot hatches a real fright when an oil burner overtook them. You can still have fun in a tweaked diesel.

It is not as raw as the S202 but it accelerates like crazy and is more refined plus it has air bags (not that I plan on using them but nice to have them anyway).

It would have been nice to have kept the S202 but until I win the lottery and then I'll finally have a 22B.

I'll give it a clean on Saturday and post some pics up, I wonder how far a fly expands when hit by a car at 'motorway speeds' or perhaps a little higher.

No problem, I'll give it a good clean due to the amount of dead insects on it and pop over.

Ok Ok, I'll do some arty photos at the weekend - I am either thinking Brecon Beacons, Gower or the Preseli Mountains.

I'll let you all in on a secret - the wheels will be changing colour just not sure yet - black, anthractite or gun metal grey. What ever matches the brake dust closely enough...

I never realised how instant the power is on a twin scroll engine, it amazed me and I knew then that there was no going back.

I thought I was already a major shareholder in Shell anyway, if anything I would say it is slightly better than the S202 on fuel.

Bob has already mapped the Spec C for Rich before, I just wanted to know how to tweak it a little further.
