Looks good DK how you finding the gearbox, my mate had one, said it was very rapid, but the gearbox drove him mad
He jogged It on after 3 weeks

I'm used to a shyte gearbox from the R8 R-Tronic...

It does seem to be so we're than even the R-tronic even when in its fastest setting

For me its a weekend toy so I'll always drive it fast when I'm in it and that's when its at its best.

Round town its a bit dim witted and if it was a DD it would pee me off...

The downshifts aren't as good as a the R8 either

But, am getting used to the car a bit more now and wound it out to ,8,200rpm today as roads are dry and its very quick

Dropped it off to Drayke Fields detailing today so they can make it a new car again

Had an e60 m5 a few years back. Unbelievably good engine, but that gearbox busted my nuts as a daily car
Apparently you can 'learn' to drive them smoothly, but I sacked it off and sold it on
That engine though !

I've got a silky smooth ZF8 as a DD

The Miltek on the avant comes off the avant on Monday and the custom 'sort' will be swapped over. An OEM zoorst might end up on the 'loon, thus leaving a spare Miltek - is that what you meant?
I feel like a fucken mind reader here, Chunk. It's a good thing your missus and I have such an intimate relationship so she translates your posts for me.

Ha ha!!! pissing myself at this!!!

That's some way to travel Dave, or have you moved further north?

[HYFR]

I'm local now

[HYFR]

But even if I wasn't I'd still only use Drayke Fields

[chunky79]

Didn't know that, and also good to hear that a company is that good!

[HYFR]

Yep this will be the 4th car they have done for me

Wouldn't go anywhere else

I take it they have more than one person doing the detailing?
