You're not wrong MEPS, it's got it all, pace and practicality. I like misano, but I still think I prefer avus for stealthiness. OT, what's that ugly thing next to it?

I could have had odds on one of you asking what they ugly thing was next to the RS. As for performance slower than the RS but mine is mapped but the noise comparison is just superb still it is not slow either just a different type of perfomance seroiusly considering letting my B5 go and getting a hardtop as opposed to a B7 or a Noble for the price.

Just joshing with you MEPS, I'm sure it's a technically wondrous thing, but if space isn't an issue, I'd take the Noble over it.

I have to disagree with you on the Avus/Misano argument - admittedly Avus is more stealth, but I've heard reports about Misano being just a little bit faster... :lol:

I didn't like that ugly thing next to it either... :roll:

LOL, I was treading carefully, but I think you may have just opened the floodgates Clive.

ROFL. And interestingly enough, it hasn't on the fezza, I think we can all draw our own conclusions from that can't we?
