I hope everybody is good! I figured I'd show my face. Got sick and tired of the whole private plate fiasco and decided to take a break!
The car is running nicely, so impressed with all aspects of it and I'm still happy with all the decisions I've made (including the forum splitting lunar silver alcantara selection)
Would I have selected anything different? Possibly the folding mirrors, whilst I don't require them at all at the moment because of where I park (driveway at home and a private parking spot away from all cars at work) I think they look quite cool when folded. Quite short sighted of me but hey ho!
Up to 4500 miles now and the car runs like a dream. The only issues I've really had are that the inner tailpipes quickly become covered in black soot - I'm using T Cut Metal polish each week to keep on top of it. At first I used Brasso and it took me 90 minutes of absolute grafting to get them clean. T Cut get's them tidy with one swift wipe over. I also find I'm going through a lot of windscreen washer fluid, but that's not exactly breaking the bank. Finally I'm a bit cheesed off that the breaks appear to have gone rusty after such a short time, but I knew others were having this issue too so I'm not too fussed.
Oh, I saw an Estoril blue S3 on Longsands Road in St.Neots the other day - Anybody know who that was?
Had a cheeky race with a Nissan GTR too coming back from Leeds last weekend - that was a laugh. It's nice to be able to make genuine supercar drivers feel the need to prove something! Even if I did get my **** kicked!
