WELL,

what can i say, i am in total awe

The car is awesome, AWESOME !!

The sound, the feel, it's just another level, it really is...

The 1st thing that struck me is the throttle response, it's amazing, and must be due to the lightweight flywheel, the tacho buzzes around like a nothing i've ever seeneek

The sound from the exhaust in sport mode is very much like a cup car sounds, and is soooo addictive.

The looks it got when just pulling onto the stationary traffic onto the A5 was unreal.

Afraid the running in process lasted about 5 mins, and she was then upto 7k without even knowing it, it just wants to go manevil

The PCCB's are great too.

Didn't really get chance to push the handling in these conditions, but it feels very planted, and this new version of the CUP tyre is fantastic in these conditions, no drama from them at all.


Everything about it, is soooo special, lost for words, i'm a very content man



A few crap pics (god i need a new camerarolleyes )

Nice one Glenn,

Are you planning on getting a decent registration plate for her? These 56 plates look a little strange

Hope to see it soon,

Damian

Nice one Glen, Looks amazing..... I am a very jealous man.

My brother wants to know if he can book another lap of the ring with you in the new car....

Have fun. Hope to see the car in the flesh sometime.

56 is my lucky number, and personalised plates tread a fine line between cool and so uncool that they bend light. That car looks gobsmackingly brilliant, and whilst I'm partly really happy for you, I'm mostly pretty jealous of you. Stay safe.


And thanks for the Christmas boner. Very festive - I may put tinsel on it.

Very nice. I'm guessing the bicycles and badminton rackets might begin to gather dust for a short while.

..and surely it should be 'Santa I need a new camera', not 'God'.

Did you get the Porsche Experience at Flitwick Manor and Milbrook thrown in? Would be good to get R.Attwood as the instructor in an RS.

I did an extended test drive of a 997 GT3 at Chobham, that was with Barry Holne (Horne)
that was much fun !!!

I think i will get another one for the RS, so hopefully should be at Milbrook.
