    I'll tell you one thing that there'll be no going back from, and that's rear wheel drive.

    Having it in the Beemer, and in about 10 consecutive rentals of Mercs, to then get into an Audi A5 rental, I suddenly realised how much better rwd is!!

    I don't think I'll ever buy a front wheel drive.

    It has a mill- exhaust fitted.

    It's had a good life that car, owned by a few enthusiast and was even painted by one, just to freshen it up not for any repair reasons.

    Id imagine you have driven one tossy.

    Im finding the high bite point clutch lightness and limp wristed gearchange hard to get used to (size 13 hoofers)

    Now I know a quick shift might fix the gearchange but the bitepoint and high clutch pedal make it hard to press on.

    Maybe its just not what im used too. Love the car besides.

    Sorry i meant milltek exhaust not mill :)

    The are designed for eating up autobahns you seen not devouring twisty backroads. The clutch you will get used to, a short shifter males a massive difference to any VAG car. Despite the V8 and the Autobahn cruising nature of the car, manual is definitely the one to have.

    Enjoy it SG.

    I reckon I'd just end up driving through the jack Lynch tunnel in 3rd gear over and over and over and over and over again!!!!

    Looks nice, i do like the Avus wheels suit the car better imo.

    Personal preference and all that, it had porche 6 pot brakes too, wires were cut on standard brake wear alarm and every so often warning comes up for no reason :p

    To be honest, I don't know if it was the Arigna or Geevagh mountain where I was at. :pac:
