ooooohh, very very nice

Thanks. Thought I'd get my wife something more discreet than a blue winged monster with gold wheels.

Silver FQ320 with a 'few' extra horses courtesy of Ralliart will do. :wink:

Now I still need the winscreen wipers, the carbon mudflaps from Scott Lowe and I need to put that bloody muffler back in place. I am nearly deaf driving it from Heathrow to Stevenage this evening ! :freak:

Do you like it?

Posted: **Thu Jun 29, 2006 9:55 pm**

Yes. Although it's indeed much more tiring than the scoob and I am not into throwing it around yet.

What surprised me was the pick-up in 6th gear on the motorway. Doodle around at 70... sneeze... open your eyes and see the speedo at 130 :shock:

Complete lack of feel of speed also compared to the scoob even.

Defo feels much more like a rallycar than our STi. Looking forward to what the guys at Ware garages will do to it ! :woohoo:

Very nice.

So when are you taking me out for a spin then?!? :wink:

After it's got its 380 horses AND I nicked some sickie-bags from the plane... :wink:

Sorry I had to shoot out that quick, Woza. I was only at a meeting at a local pharmaceuticals company from 8 til 10, dropped the car off in Ware and then blasted to the airport.
Back on 10-7 to pick it up. I'll drop you a line earlier. If you fancy a go then... :ok:

Need to try it without the muffler in Hatfield tunnel. Already bangs nicely now on lift-off. When decat'ed it should definitely be

Keep working, Dan. You need to save for a GT3. None of us has one yet !

Last one is a great piccy

Love it too. Made me realise an Evinrude engine might have been more useful than the MIVEC. :wink:

Posted: **Tue Sep 05, 2006 5:24 pm**

Excellent pics, looks like you are really enjoying your new motor. :wink:

Posted: **Sun Sep 10, 2006 6:32 pm**

First said I'd only keep it a year and order a 911 C4S for next summer, but that might have to wait a bit longer

Posted: **Mon Sep 11, 2006 2:17 am**

Fantastic photos :cool:
