Two Months In

TommyR · 14-11-2011, 10:50 PM

A few things to summarise CSL ownership so far

800 QUID down after a service, with only a weepy diff seal to worry about,

Endless grins, and growling through suburbia in the early morning

A fuel bill that has caught me a little by surprise, but driving it like it wants to be driven still returns an mpg figure just shy of what my old geezas lexus rx300 does driving like a granny.

A car thats discreet through town until you press the gas pedal and blends in a line of cars on the street, that only car enthusiasts come over to ask to see under the hood in a gas station.

A car with an beautiful exterior no photo seems to do justice

A car with a perfect engine note

A gear box thats clunky bumpy but makes so much sense on the right road.

Brakes that are so shocking if it was any other car id sell it tomorrow

I bloody love it

I love it and don't want to make the mistake as many do of selling it although Im sitting on a serious GT3 Bottom itch that im not sure how i can avoid scratching one day?

Excellent Tommy.

It's a great car no doubt. I still feel the same in my 5th year of ownership.

Get some AP's on the front and you'll not look back.

I can't echo this thought more, only I've still no AP's but not thinking of selling anytime soon, after over 5 years.

Glad your enjoying the CSL Tommy, just get the APs and you'll be there.
I have just had front spoiler repainted, door sill trims replaced & rear lights so can concentrate on detailing before spring 2012 ready for a drive.
Must catch up next summer at one event or another.
Keep smiling & all the best
