Just found out that ecurie25 are actually getting two 458s in July.

A Rosso/Crema example in Leeds, and a Black/Black one in London.

Oh, the choice! biggrin

Beefmeister, call my a cynic, but are you secretly Ecuri25's marketing guy? Fair play to you to be on here ages and notch up 6k posts before the advertising campaign, but you've been spotted!

Only kidding, cheers for an enjoyable read.

That's something I'd forgotten about actually - the wonder of the 'Sport' button. Normally the car is actually quite restrained during normal pootling around, the exhaust valves staying closed most of the time.

But hit 'Sport' and you bimble around at 10-15 mph in 1st through town with the rudest noise and pops and warbles on the overrun. I'm guessing the residents of the little village weren't too impressed, but by God it sounds fruity and you feel like a schoolkid doing it! thumbup

It also makes the eGear hold onto gears longer, and gives you a bit more control.

Very good button, that one.

Beef. I hate you. biggrin

Any chance you could take some video, or get a passenger to take some? All that noise and we don't get to hear? pfft son. Sort it out!

You know, i was tempted to take a video. But these days a lot of people have been prosecuted for posting such things on Youtube, being proven that they were speeding by technobod-type BiB.

If i had access to a racetrack, then hell yes... biggrin
