Had a go in one of these in Australia a few years ago smile Sounded brilliant, if a bit muted. Certainly looks the part!

Yeah, they are actually quite sensible on the volume front, but that should change at some point with a Walkinshaw Performance exhaust biggrin

Sarge 4x4 should be at the SS in his stage 2 GTS that is pushing 700 odd bhp, really want to see that one!

Had a day just driving around with the wife and stopped off for a nice pub lunch

I love how the car handles but the roads are still a bit too cold so easy to lose traction in a straight line in 3rd and even 4th!

Off to Goodwood in the morning for SS, so hopefully see some of you there smile

Saw you this morning parked up outside Earley station c. 7.50am - car looked lovely (and sounded pretty good even on idle too!).
Lovely, just lovely!!

Cheers, I am very chuffed with it too seeing as I ordered it without even seeing a colour sample!
