Cheers Harry,
It's a different kettle of fish altogether to the S...handles differently, sounds completely different, surprisingly smaller inside for an oaf like me, I guess the transmission tunnel is a lot wider which makes the seating area smaller....nice in a different way. The exhaust is a custom fit adt jobby which does sound nice. Granted it's nowhere near as loud as my S, but that isn't surprising considering the S had two straight through blue flames with cherry bombs on the arse end...

Interior looks (dicky)MINT..very nice.
As for the exhaust, I fitted a new ACT exhaust to my old 350i, and if I remember rightly got a few comments of "Get orf moy land, your scaring the sheep"

Looking good

Did you try that dude who was doing the vinyl cut logo's, strip off the old ones give it a good polish where the old logo has been and should look a million dollors.

Would you like a trip to Texas to polish up mine? I feel very negligent. Grady

Thanks fellas

Darren, received the light, thanks very very much, at bbwf for you sir!

In relation to the trike, that's mini miss silverback, she is a bit of a nutter on it, and has mastered lift off oversteer quite well. Chip off the old block that one is.

Texas, I'm on my way.

Talking of lift off oversteer Mike, I was at VMax yesterday, and the Golf done good annoying lots of faster machinery (especially in the corners).

I do, however, need four new tyres. So if you are on traffic, don't pull me

Lovely Wedge tho - chap at work wants to sell his 350i, but he wants far to much for it - 4.5k for a ropey D reg with work needing doing to the body.

Besides, I've caught the big now *hmm what bits do I need to go round corners quicker*
