About-to-be new owner here. I've earmarked three 4.5s in the classifieds and viewed the first one today. What can I say? Earth shattering. Even faster than I was expecting. More amazing to look at in the flesh than in any photo.

And the thunder.

Hoping to view the 2nd one on Tuesday. Somebody hold me back.

mars, they're great when they work, and not so great when they dont, normally when things go wrong, the car is on the back of a lorry being dropped off to a mechanic to sort out, and then a big bill nearly always comes back to bite you in the arse i'd vouch for cyclones or any other that has been looked after by the likes of trackcar, good-ones always cost a bit more, but that bit more is the difference between a headache and a constant-grin

Yes, I certainly value "servicing by TCS" as one of the highlights of those I've earmarked to view.

The one I saw was the first one I've actually been out in. I've previously had a look over a couple whilst stationary and although I was expecting a NASA delivery of power, it really took me by surprise just how aggressive it was. Basically it's so much my type of car I can hardly believe I've never considered one before.

I'm very excited about viewing more now, including Cyclone's. Oh yes.

Agree yes. If you are set on a Cerb thumbup then there is no better sorted and breathed on 4.5 than cyclones, if I was in the market I'd be knocking down his door for a drive .
