    Thanks, yeah some people dont like the 6 speed autos but i do, and my 2nd last car was a 6 speed man but i like the quick shift option and the lazy auto option as well... plus they are quicker from a standing start

    might i be extremely intrusive and ask what the factory price tag on these without any extras is and then what sort of deal you got with the extras you picked?

    i understand if you choose not to answer but i have had my eye on these things since a couple months ago..

    No problems... standard with cloth trim/manual and 19" wheels the go for around 65K. I paid a bit less than that with the leather/auto/sat nav & 20's.... Its a good time to buy atm...

    So, any chance of an update?!! LOL.

    Awesome ride John, keen to see how Phreddy's magic looks in one of these, with the white gauges.

    Still loving the Auto?
    I'm trying to get used the whole "manually selecting gears" bit of it all though, lol, missed some gears; Too late, too early - they rev out a bit quicker than the tired ol' 6 banger!

    Any plans for an OTR and Mafless tune?

    And one last thing! Do you have any clips of the exhaust? Couldn't really hear it in the drag vids, keen to get a little bit of noise out of the new ride, but don't want to rush into it...

    Hey Zeussy no worries man.. I have been slack in uploading pics of the white lights.. I can do a film clip of the car on idle and some light revving but not sure on how to upload the video clip...
    I will do some pics tonight & the vid and try to upload them.. As for the Auto i still enjoy driving it and the quick or manual shift can be fun when you want to mix things up a bit. I wont bother with a tune yet as i would like to
    supercharge it in another 2 years ( missus said i could when the car is 5 years old I don't drive it much as i have a company vehicle and my wife has her own car... it is 3 years old now and just clocked over 10,000k's.

    Got to admit that video clip of the exhaust note, sound very nice. Not over the top but can tell it's got 8 cylinders under the bonnet.

    Nice one!

    Cheers
