Were those pics taken on Woodhead Pass?

Hmmm... following a grey 335d saloon onto wilmslow bypass earlier today - they are bloody quick.

Had to use perhaps 80/90% to keep up with it. Must have been mapped wink
You must realise by now that on here you will struggle to keep up with a standard 320d don't you? biggrin
Bloody beautiful car OP, and good to see some miles going on it, enjoy beer
Thanks a lot!

With such low miles on the car I have no worries adding plenty of miles - in fact I feel like previous owner was mad to use it so little!

So the car has gone from 8k miles to 16k miles already!

Just got back from a 6 day euro roadtrip (Rico Rally). 5 Countries, stelvio pass, fluela pass, lake garda, nurburgring. And 160mph on the autobahn!

Was awesome, 50 cars take part - everything from mclarens to clios - highly recommend it to anyone looking to do a structured euro trip with some great people. I'm already booked in for next summer biggrin

Car didn't miss a beat and was awesome fun! Held it's own against some far more exotic stuff too.

The trip looks great, Im tempted to do one of these soon, I know Rik from Rico and I bet it would be a great laugh.

I've been out in a Friends C63 quite a few times, they are unbelievably quick and don't fail to put a smile on your face!
He had a Ferrari 360 in addition to it and the C63 felt so much quicker (He subsequently got an LP560 to replace the 360 hehe )

Great car OP and that trip looks fantastic!

Great pictures and car. We took ours to Budapest, then down through Croatia, Amalfi and back home via the alps.

Stunning cars!

A Eurocharged map allows the throttle to open past 65% and makes as massive difference to a stock non-PP C63. Quaife LSD is also very worthwhile!

Looks like a great trip, I bet the beast sounded pretty epic in the mountains.

Cheers, yes it is a quick car indeed! I've heard that Aston V8V would feel slow in comparison etc... LP560 would do the job though smile

That sounds like a great trip - do you have any pics?

A Eurocharged map is in my plans (unfortunately my insurance company don't like the sound of this so might have to get a new policy if i have it done)

I'm also keen to get the secondary cats removed - i LOVE the sound, but would like it to be just a bit louder. I've heard this makes crackles and pops on downshifts etc more audible too...
