Fallen in love with the CSL finally

[Matt21]

I have had my CSL for almost 2 years now, and finally have bonded with it!

I always liked the ownership experience, and the sound, but sometimes wondered what all the fuss is about. It can be a right pain at times.

I decided to take it to Ring for a weekend before the warranty expires. I was then probably going to ditch the warranty and turn her into a garage queen. Not now!

The boring stuff. It was more comfy, practical and economical than I thought it would be. Took it to Koblenz and left it in auto around the town. It wasn't that bad.

And the fun! That sound! It never wore thin. The blips on down change, the air box, the Super Sprint exhaust. Perfect. The handling. Much better than I had remembered, and when it snowed it remained sure footed and predictable. Certainly well suited to the German roads.

The car also attracted a lot of attention from those in the know. Had a couple of lads in a new Lamborghini round the car saying how nice it was. I would still swap!

Anyway car back, filthy with a few stone chips, and feels less precious now. Will renew warranty and keep on driving it. Can't believe i nearly went soft :gayfight::thumbs:

Well said Matt.

Done a couple of Destination Nurburgring events and it was at the time a real insight into how rewarding the csl can be.

Totally agree,
The CSL in the right environment is an awesome bit of kit.

Hahahaha I agree Ian but just been too busy with the racing car to give the CSL any decent time. Throw in a house move as well and its been a pretty hectic year.

All will change in a month or so and we'll get it out of storage ;)

I had to drive it once in February when it was around 5°C and it sounded glorious, imho way louder than on a summers day.

Winter,Best time to drive CSL sounds way better, and engine runs even better. If anybody only driven in summer your missing Csl at its best ,
