Epic...

Nords · 25-02-2009, 01:07 AM

In a word, epic! Alright two sets of words, it's mine & epic! Met Nick this morning and did a runner with my lovely new CSL. 280 miles later (I took the long way home...) and I thought I should mention it here! Once I remembered to take a pic, it was already dark but this was my best handheld effort.

Oh, the noise, the effortless 'umph', the poise of the Intrax, the brakes!!! errr the noise, blip that throttle on gear change SMG brain, oh and the noise!!! Stopped in Bicester Tescos for some RON99 and then a costas and the local car wash gang all stopped washing cars and gathered around for a look.

I will apologise to the previous owner (It still has Nick's personal plate on) for the various people buzzed today at Mach 1.2-1.4 by a silver streak. It seems like it isn't even trying but 1.2 kept appearing on the speedo. Just need to get a grip of the SMG again, occasionally I changed down to second in town rather than up into 4th; I'm sure I didn't do it deliberately!!!

Glad you finally caught the bug Nords. Whole new World from an M3 isn't it and completely addictive. Amazing how the whole feel of the car is so different

Enjoy.
