Hi, Just got back from a five day euro trip and the car was great. As I haven't had the car long I have a couple of questions, I know I can ask the dealer but thought I would try here first.

When I left the car(from hot) and returned and started it again there was a pronounced back fire, not from the exhaust but sounding like it was through the air box, is this normal? A bit difficult to describe but it happened more than once.

I am getting used to how the car sounds but when driving next to wall or in my garage it does seem very 'tappy', I have tried to get near another one to see if it is the same but without much luck so far.

Thanks in advance.
Paul

Come on, you cant tell us you have been on a road trip and not put some piccys up!!

Mine sounds pretty tappy in the garage or after a run, just make sure your oil level is ok, not sure on the back fire.

Only got back late last night, but we did a track morning at Goodwood last Monday, then off to Stuttgart,Bayerishelle, Munich, the Ring for a couple of laps and then back to Brugge.

Great few days!
