Collected from Hexham on Friday and went over to the west coast for a couple of days. Absolutely fantastic and convinced it feels torquier than 3.6. Roll on Spain! Haven't opted for the lower diff yet but will decide over the winter.

Excellent. Glad you are impressed. The lower diff would make bags of difference, although first might be a bit short!

Does that mean you're coming James?

I'd love to do this but I will struggle to get it past her indoors.

It is female friendly! Great hotels, fabulous scenerey, great food and not silly amounts of driving. Oh, and shopping opportunties too.

My wife was reticent last year but loved it and is looking forward to next year.

Trouble is she hates the car and will not get in it.

Don't I know how that feels Hates the car and everyone that drives it

Would really have liked your Sag but over budget unfortunately.

Not quite Shaun Connery, but maybe,....

Sorry James/Will/Ian - Bit of an identity crisis - got you down - Think I've seen the car before - usually in my mirrors..

Think....black BMW. Not just in your mirrors, all over the bloody place! Including hanging off my bumper on the track.

God knows what he'll be like with 4.0l, 3.91 diff and a CR box.....

Mental.

Ian,
Your car Torque figures are what I would expect, power maybe nearer to 375-380?
