Porsche quoted a fairly quick ring time for the Carrera GT. When pressed though they admitted they had just estimated the time as they never did a full fast lap
What makes you think Bavaria is any different to Stuggart?

Lovely car Paul - pretty quick for a std car but they don't half go round corners well!
You can hear them over a Mongoose exhaust on a Sapphire when they're at full chat as well!!
Look forward to seeing it sometime and hearing about your driving reports!

I did Medical cover for BMW UK a while back when they first came out and were being tested, saw 2 CSL's and 2 M6's and a 3.0 1 series be thrashed around Longcross test track all day, When they were finished with them the test drivers wrote there evaluations and the 5 mint cars went straight to be crushed, guy from BMW said as they were test cars they couldn't ever be used again. proper sad, I was writing out indemnity forms, begging him and everything I loved em so much.

Well done, Paul You'll love it. I love mine more now than I did on day#1. It's a 1-owner one too (got it July 2003) and I have no intention of moving on from it, it's fabulous. Longest I ever had a car!!

Cheers guys. Tiff, no NIck Whale were OK, but they were only reallyb interested in selling me one of their cars on the forecourt. I had to travel 200 miles to Westerly BMW in barnstaple yesterday. Well worth it though. The sound is pure sex
