Verrry nice Joust!

Has the M400 not got an oil pressure guage in the dash?

Like the seats, are they standard in the M400?

Yes - it's hidden by the steering wheel, but it has oil pressure and temp down next to the turbo one in the middle console.

They are the "new" M400 seats, only just been fitted to cars in the last month or so and are very very comfy at first impressions.

Ah, I thought I saw a gauge somewhere.

Well done, enjoy her! I am sure you will.

Justin that looks fantastic!

Great choice on the standard 3R wheels too - never been a fan of black wheels myself.

Are you taking passenger ride bookings yet? Hint hint

GTO ZOOM will go on it.

Rides available at any trackday, meet or VMAX.

I'm at Bedford on the 22nd Jan so will run it in over the previous two weeks Could well be up for the sprint if it doesn't clash - where are the details?

None of them come with decals AFAIK, there is a *very* funny story about them that'll I'll tell if you ask me when I see you.

I don't like black wheels - never have, so had them "swapped". I think it looks mucho better. I also, on Stuart's advice, had the mirrors and rear spolier edges colour coded rather than the back that is on the other M400 cars.

Hi Justin

Would love to hear the story about the decals but unlikely to bump into you soon.Funnily enough at factory visit was informed that most buyers(and all SA buyers) had opted out of M400 differentiating body details.
Personally think car looks better without side scoops but obviously there for cooling reasons.

Enjoy your car

Buddy

Email me through my profile and I'll email you the story back

I've not seen another M400 with the decals, so I assume it's been permantly deleted after the Autocar comment!

As for the side scoops, there is the oil cooler in one of them that needs a good flow of air (without the scoops there wasn't much air flowing through them), the other side is just there to "balance" the look.

Yep that's certainly a very nice car. Colours not bad.........but it's not Titanium is it!

But seriously, it is one of the best ones I've seen. Like you I'm not too fond of garish decals everywhere. I'm not so keen on the badges on the seats...but you can't have everyhting.

Bloody nice......shame you could'nt get the chap to move his doggy old replica Quattro out of the photos.

Yep I agree on that. Some say sparco there instead I think?

The whole M400 thunderbirds logo was a terrible terrible mistake! Justin you'll have to let us in on the story in person some time
