You never know Gaz, maybe your old one will come up for sale. That'll save you doing a load of work!

Mines going no where that's for sure. Best car I've ever owned and unless I'm fortunate to come in to vast amounts of cash, I can't see it being replaced any time soon - all I hanker after now are supercars.

I have moved on Mike, going a little more subtle on the next ones interior and under the bonnet I think, although I am definitely gonna join the 20's club next time around so will be picking your brain about wheel/tyre combos buddy, oh and will definitely be getting another Tubi, although may go for the rumore this time. How you finding it with your exhaust set up these days?

Mines sold. I've got a standard exhaust these days (no re-cats though) but with the valves disconnected. Thinking about deleting the centre resonators and maybe changing the tailpipes but that's just another one of those jobs on the to do list. My driving style, dodgy number plate spacing and noisy exhaust was a bad combo for police attention!

Haha I may stick with the basic tubi then or go for a full exhaust build to save some pennies

Fair one Ads. I am happy to say I am a saloon guy. So no pangs for two seaters.
Depends on what's behind the two seats :)

Yeah thats whats keeping me away from a MRC tuned S4 or S5 and the TTrs allof which with a tune and the s tronic box are much quicker but its that grumble that makes it work while. Yours at the AMD RR day made even a Capristo R8 V10 sound lacking in beef!
