Collection day tommorow from Newcastle.

I now realise how poor the service is from Aberdeen garages.

The salesman ive dealt with (all through the phone) has kept me constantly updated on things like getting my plate on the car and so on and just plain old nice.

This morning he called just to say the weather was crap so they have taken the car into the main showroom and were getting the company they use to give it a full day detail etc.

Thats him just leaving for the day and has sent me a pic to my phone of the saying she is gleaming and ready to go tommorow am.

They are picking me up from the train station and have even said they will get lunch in, dealing with Aberdeen BMW etc are lucky to see you get a cup of fecking tea.

Cant wait for some V10 noise in my life.

Good choice.

Completely agree on Aberdeen dealers, the salesman at Audi didn't even bother to call me back after being in the showroom with him. In fact most of the Aberdeen dealers are terrible to deal with.

I'm not certain, but the dealer gave me the impression that it may be the only Supersport in Edinburgh. Can anyone confirm/deny?

Lovely car - I have a softspot for these.

Well it has been a good run but the beast has now left for a new life in England



Tears were flowing as he left the driveway, I have owned Muzzy since 2006 which is good considering I change cars every 6 months So Muzzy left, then I left to test drive and then buy this.....



Happy days

Reuben was nearly in tears when I told him it was gone, for a 6 year old he really was gutted.

I think steve996 has one of the VW's also

Watch this space, hopefully getting a new car sorted at the weekend.

Step for a hint Dave!

I'm thinking something RWD with at least 2.0L.

That's bang on the money tbh but with a snail in the engine bay

[OlberJ]

Natural progression mate, it'll be up to 3.0 when the curly wurly gives up the ghost. Enjoy.

Hope it's bodykit free!

[MGZRod]

It is indeed bodykit free, though it's a car that can pull off a 'bodykit'.

If the T28 fails, it's getting a bigger one put in, Garrett were doing some good deals lately...

Ha ha! I've been getting quite a slagging for it. There was a guy giving me verbal about it being an old man's car last night in the pub. I took it for a while before I said "Jamie. Three words for you: Five. Hundred. Horsepower". He kinda shut up after that!

If you click my username on the left of this post and read Topics I Started under the Forums tab you'll see some recent threads explaining why I think it is a Piece of S***.

Just upgrade to a GT28'RS and it will improve torque and power right through the revs, the difference in my noble is unreal and next to no lag, can assist with a change over if you need help. T28 in working order should sell for £400 on eBay, I got £1000 for a tweaked pair.

The cars running 285bhp & 300 lb ft at the moment so I'll me driving like miss daisy for a while anyway picking it up tomorrow from Birmingham

One we saw was the same colours as yours we were convoying back home do like the mustang though

[MGZRod]

My new beasty to replace the mx5



Rather chuffed! 285bhp 300lb ft so it's on the low boost setting in this weather!

Big step up in power so being sensible, the cars mint, 107k, very little rust, 2 previous owners, original stereo.

Rather chuffed!
