Cool picture! You should get it printed out on a big bit of canvas and put it on the wall. There is a company that can take digital pics and make 6ft wide canvasses out of them. I've been meaning to get a few made for ages!

I don't like the front of my car too much, but the one from behind looks great! Would somehow need to photoshop in some sunshine to justify spending 300 quid on printing it to canvas though! (great photo, but the weather wasn't being kind!)

Are you talking about 'finest hour' who advertise on this site? They do a 3 foot by 4, stylised canvass for about 150. Very good they are too, ask for Tom.

Hi Martin
(NICE MOTOR)

I'm thinking of getting a used 3R and driving it around Italy in the summer. I noticed you are in sunny spain with yours . What's the car like in the hot weather and does it get hot inside, I presume the aircon does the trick. Nice car by the way I like the black wheels are they optional? also I read you got the air filters mounted in the front does it get very loud in there say enough to drown the cds. Thanks and nice pic too .

Thank god the old Torros didn't come outside to charge the motor?

Hi
Heat hasn't been a problem at all, even during prolonged spells of serious driving. The air-con has been up to the task at all times.
I'm not sure that black wheels are an option, I just twisted Stuart Jones' arm up behind his back untill he said OK
As to the filters, well, I specced my car that way but it arrived with them in the regular place. Rather than go through the agro of a trip back to the factory, and no car for a couple of days, I accepted a cheque for what seemed like an obscene amount.
Greg (MrNoble) on this forum has just had his moved so, he'll be the man with the answers with regard to noise.

HTH...Martin.

Hi Mr Noble

I saw the top gear programme when Clarkson was testing the 2.5 litre and he was going mad about the noise coming from the turbos I think he compared it to darth vader and he was struggling to contain himself...

Could you be kind to post your comments
Cheers Steedy

When you are in the Post Reply box, look to the left. Click on the 'Smiles legend' text, it's all there.

PS - don't use them all up, save some for the rest of us.
