Had a B road tug with a neighbours Mk7.5 GTI. Up my chuff having overtaken the car behind me on the way home, until he wasn't. Will have to thank him for the benchmark this morning. The grip in this car is pretty immense, it's just the not so fantastic feel for the tarmac that makes you a little...

lol If I was going to waste more money I'd get the 19" wheels over the silly hat. The more I look at it, the more I don't like it. It's too retrofit. It's an afterthought. It's all about the lines lol.

Back to reality where I don't wrap the car in Rover Tahiti Blue, the car is booked in on Tuesday for 80% correction and ceramic coating.

I know, it's great. Doesn't give me tetanus or anything

Never!

Love the colour.

Nah. I'm not really sold on the colour, anyway. No matter what I did I wouldn't get the aeropack. It adds nothing to the car, bit like the 200 spoiler. *Flinches* For what it costs, I doubt I'll ever bother with a wrap so it's by the by lol.

Just window shopping, really. Although you're right to a degree, it's not so much about it being a "sleeper", more that the aero pack looks like it's tacked on and silly.

About 100 a week for commute so not huge amounts. But yes, there's some dual carriage way and lengthy b road so the right foots never far from the floor at the moment as still playing with manual! Do have another means of transport so may give it a rest occasionally, although I don't want to...

Also, the realisation of frequent visits to the pump is setting in(y). Low 20s, simply divine. Don't think the AMG model has the economy telemetry that some of the other models do...wonder why :unsure:

No, it's fine. Thanks though. Hopefully won't matter as I don't plan on trying to stomach anyone with a big bill. They're pretty bullet proof thankfully. There are others running a lot more silly. I read somewhere the engines themselves are good for around 600bhp. I may get it rolling roaded if...

Honestly, I'm pretty confident if they wanted to find data log that indicated a remap, they could. Likely depends on how much the bill will come to, and if it's mechanical work being done. £8,000 simply for the transmission plus labour, I'd be surprised if MB would foot the bill quietly. Then...

Nice. (DMS Automative)

Tidy :)

My chums 135i is the same...Brakes don't last 5 minutes. Tyre wear is to be expected...

Performance Exhaust open in Manual / Race Mode

I'd be inclined to agree these days TBH. It's hanging at the moment thanks to the rain we had, going to give it a wash after work and take some half decent pics. It is savagely quick, too. I doubt I will do much in the way of anything to it beyond the DMS map already on it and extend the...

Panoramic roof open on the way home yesterday...I can't get over how good this car sounds for a 4 pot lol. Should probably take some vids and pics but have been slammed, will try to upload some later on. I think it's also because it is just another Cirrus white A45... Don't get me wrong, I...

Very nice. The interior is quite an eye opener compared to the exterior of the car, they've aged so well on the outside. Looks to be ok underneath, too. These suffer from rot quite badly.

Drove it back yesterday around midday. This will likely be a bit of a ramble at this stage, as I'm still digesting it all. The motorway is effortless with the 7 speed transmission in comfort mode. I really couldn't fault the car on the trip back at all (38mpg to boot). At or just under 2k revs...

Yes John Kirkham in Stourbridge. Bought my old Evo off them. Great bloke and great staff. All being well, picking the car up Friday.

Need trick. Mine were fairly rotten on the ph1.

It is a bit like that, and the aero in any case just draws more unwanted attention IMO. None of the AMG line really standout to a massive extent, don't really think it's about that. I'm not partial either way, I actually gauged interest in this one simply assuming it had the kit (photos weren't...

I've had my small Karcher for going on 8 years and it still works a treat.

They'd be a small fortune anyway, I'd wager

Strictly window shopping, but if anything (feet)...

Get an Amarok

It’s got a Ghost Tracker already. Like I said, the original owner was terrified it would get stolen This is a work horse as it’ll be my only car, that isn’t a banger. Lol Pugs are nice looking cars, anyway.

Lol, listen, if I wanted to make a statement I’d buy a Saab.
