MIkeyv60 Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Looks great with the satin wheels I presume you have asked to get all tyres replaced as the new mot is saying tyres worn the legal limit on edges? Says all? Which would mean alignment out?

Felt weird initially driving an Auto again as it's something I haven't done in years but good fun and I feel I'll get used to it pretty quickly! It won’t take long to get used to it. There’s automatics and then... there’s PDK. It’s a cracking box, especially when you want to play in manual mode with the paddles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart21UK Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Guards Red was my first choice and had it not been a daily driver (when I go to see clients) it may have stayed that way instead of GT Silver...looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@Bristol Posted August 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Thanks Stuart! For me it's one of those rare cars that look great in a variety of colours...I personally viewed a Black, a White, a Silver, a Grey and a Red!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to use manual when I want some fun, haven’t got chrono so only use sport mode. Lots of smiles per miles in that mode, especially the throttle blips, pops and bangs on the downshifts. You only need 2nd and 3rd on a good twisty ??, you’ll love it ??. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
