I deliberately kept this really quiet - not wanting to make a fuss and all - so you'll all be stunned to learn that I have a new car :|
It's silver grey, it's engine has 0.2 litres more than my last one, and it's a manual. Oh, it's a roadster too, of course
This will only be a short post as I need to do a bit of family time :wink: ... So, obligatory pictures, no it's not clean (see previous health warning), but it is totally epic 8)
Initial impressions are that it's quite a bit faster than my old one ; I don't think I will ever tire of the noise ; the whole car feels more 'together' than my old 3.0 and the ride is so much better ; it's totally addictive ; it's a tad skittish in the wet with a new driver behind the wheel
An additional and probably the most important positive is PVR - the car is mint, all the parts were on it as advertised and he has been brilliant to deal with. Thanks Paul
Negatives ? My trousers keep getting wet on the aero sills, it's weird seeing a different colour Z in my garage, my custom parking sensor in the garage doesn't really work anymore as this car is not lowered (took me ages to figure out why the car seemed bigger in the garage...), I've got some condensation in a headlight so may well need new light back covers (been a fair weather car though, so not a big surprise), and the gear change from 1st to 2nd in particular will take some getting used to. Arguably none of these are negatives - so actually it's aaaaaaalll good.
Right, got some penalty chores to do... Be back later. Probably much, much later. Like, years later
