This morning in Four Marks, Red 3R or maybe M400 heading Winchester way.

I was in my Black CSL as my 3R is not well :weeping: to be followed by my bank balance I bet!!

They do look soooooooooooo good!

You have my sympathies. In 2 months, my classic 2.5 has emptied my bank account quicker than a divorce settlement. Hope it's not too pricey.

Pretty sure it's the gearbox but it'll have to wait until I get back from my hols.

I have a few other bits that need to be done, speakers, Matt's IC upgrade etc etc, but there's only so much I can do, and the CSL is a bloody good substitute to be honest.

Left it at home today though as I value my licence too much!! Like the Noble, can turn you into a bit of a hooli!!

I find the CSL makes me drive far too much like a mentalist on the road, you cannot help but make it do "the noise" and that always seems to lead to silly speeds, the missus drove us back from friends the other night and hit 130 without realising, I'm actually quicker cross county in the CSL than I was the Noble, must be a confidence thing but it seems more progressive when it goes, cup tyres and rain = me looking for roundabouts

Nathan,

Exactly, I think that sound is a double edged sword. It is so intoxicating that you can't help yourself. I find myself driving at silly speeds quite a bit in the CSL.

In fairness I probably drive as quick in the Noble, but it doesn't pass everything with that Banshee wail and so people don't seem to mind as much.

In the CSL, overtake 5 cars in a row with that noise, and they think you are some kind of nutter from hell!!

I'm just waiting for one of them to dob me in followed by the hand on my shoulder
