Well you certainly wouldn't be the 1st person on here to have one of each! :lol:

I can understand the appeal of an MR at present prices, but if you had 2 Roadsters and one was an M how often would you actually use the non-M?

Nice! :thumbsup:

Are you going to buy those CH-Rs too and refurb them back to silver? With that interior it’d look absolutely class.

It's also, "high spec stealth".

That must have only been an option on the hatchback as the Roadster didn't come with that option. :rofl:

I know, I asked about the option but he couldn't find the manual, or show me the "KITT" button! 🤣🤣

It's the silver top, not the black that I have in my roadster, and so I'm going to have to look up what preventative maintenance I have to do! Also the headlamps have condensation in them. I think my roadster has zenons, so can I just swap them over rather than dealing with the ones that are fitted?

Might also be worth changing the Coil Packs when you service the car unless they've recently been changed.

Think it's 100,000 miles they should be changed but that may just be a myth!
