What kind of twat...

[PAH]

Good job we're not. The Volvo I drive have more than the R8s measly 420hp.

I've said it before real vehicles don't come with less than 600hp and 16 grears.

People don't seem to realise that it's all the torque from those trucks that keeps the world spinning.

Why don't they have auto boxes instead of having to change gears all the time? 16 is a bit OTT.

Yeah but mine beats yours on speed and 0-60. Hand over the card!

And it looks it.

If you want cheap Japanese crap then be my guest.

We're not playing top trumps here.

Anyway, just a little report back.

After driving 350 miles yesterday I'm in love. This car makes my old 911 seem as slack as a very slack thing on a very slack day. I went to bed last night and couldn't resist opening the garage just to look.

If I exceed my 3000 miles I'm going to extend the policy, we'll have to wait and see.

Ah well, back to earth with a bump.

Nice car Churchill try not to get to much dog hair inside and how do you paws reach the peddles ?

What colour did you get ?

Don't they only come in silver? Not seen any other colours yet, though not exactly searched them out.

I think a dark grey or black would be better. Don't like the contrast of those side bits and the grills, seems to spoil the lines.

Very nice, I had one come up behind me in the fast lane a while back I could spot what it was before I could see the car by the fancy head lights, Im jealous, I have an Audi A3 though so its not all bad

You can get non-garish contrasting colours - the one I saw the other day just had slightly darker bits.

They do

Ok, newer ones do (more fuel efficent). They have 16 gears to get more efficency. You can go 0 - 56mph using 3 gears. You generally start in 3rd shift to 5th then 8th.

But there are also half gears. e.g. 8 high and 8 low. Not to be confused with High and Low range, all 16 gears selected from a (if manual) gear stick with 4 positions. Each to keep engine in the green efficency band. So 16 overall gears. Oh....and 4 reverse

Yeah but mine beats yours on speed and 0-60. Hand over the card!

Does it have an air suspension seat?

Does it have an air suspension seat?

I believe not.

Nor does it have a dog-eared Page 3 'stunnah' calendar hanging up behind the driver...
