Scott.'s Hero Spec Nimbus!

[Scott™]

So yesterday morning I headed up to bristol where I sold the cup to Rich off of here. I then caught the train up to Cheltenham where Martin (18ME) off her picked me up in his very nice Beamer and took me to view the Nimbus.

After some time looking over the car and a test drive down the road, I decided it was to be mine (I had already decided once I set eyes on her)

So anyway the spec.....

Nimbus Grey 197
21,000
FRSH
Cup Pack (chassis, anthracite alloys, Brembo brakes)
Recaros
Xenons
Climate Control
Cruise Control
Privacy Glass
Electric Folding mirrors

It really is a minter. This morning I got up early to give her a quick details as she had amassed a fair amount of road salt and dirt on the 4 hour trip home.

And le pictures....

Lovely. How does it feel compared to the cup?

You can't compair them tbh. Completely different in every way. The cup feels quicker off the mark and more raw but the 197 is very quick just doesn't feel it. Feels like its on rails.

Mine doesn't have the silver insert on the steering wheel?!!

It's been added in since I think

Looks great, lowered a bit, clean plates and front and side skirts and it'll look fantastic.

I think it looks bob on as it is tbh. I won't be modding this one iota.

Thank you for all the comments.

Same spec as mine only mines an R27 and Black. The mirrors are also heated if its the folding ones but only when you put the climate control to the window screen clear setting

The steering wheel insert is an addon yes £23 on k-tec http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2572&appid=3


Lovely car mate. Hope you enjoy it!

Cheers mate. Just out of interest how do you get the mirrors to fold in? I haven't had chance to look in the manuel yet. So thought I'd ask on the off chance.

 

[Sanders]

twist the adjuster knob right round if i remember

 

[Brookie.]

Awesome!

 

[leeds_182]

Lovely colour.

 

[Tombola]

Greedy nice Scott, glad the Cup went to a good home! Was going to ask how you find the 197 but you've already answered. Do you prefer it? A better daly?

 

[dmallett]

Those seats <3

Having owned it only a day I'm not really at a stage to say if I prefer it or if it is a better daily. All the signs are good though

Thanks for the comments guys.

 

[Kieran..]

love it! the colour and seats make it tbh!

 

[Yosemite Sam]

I was looking at that the other night, looks bloody lovely. Fair play mate.

Who bought your cup??

 

[Scott™]

Cheers mate. A chap off here called Rich bought the Clio.

 

[Matt W]

I bet you won't enjoy the increased number of trips to the petrol station

 

[Scott™]

Meh old man :rasp:

 

[Yosemite Sam]

What did the previous owner do for a living? He looked to be Loaded!! lol.

 

[Kane.]

Perfect, a cup spoiler would ruin it IMO.

 

[cafcross]

Actually perfect.

 

[DrewBear11]

Very nice mate !! I'll keep an eye out for you, needs cup spoiler mate

Looks like im gonna have to step up my game, my car has turned into a shed

 

[Ash']

Super Jelly! nice car mate, looking forward to seeing it soon

 

[Brian]

Love that

Nice that it's stayed in the club too

 

[Will.]

Damn that's tasty. Awesome photography skillz too.

 

[ch!ppen]

Very tidy and awesome spec

 

[18ME]

I'm really pleased that you are enjoying it Scott and its gone to a true enthusiast

Its just a shame that you live miles away as I could have done with your photography skills to take pics of my cars when I sell them, pics looks stunning.

Yep, just turn the knob around to the bottom marker to fold them in.

 

[Bobby.]

Very nice spec just what I would want if I bought a 197
