AWESOME!

The Bmw was a new client of mine called Alex, so if you can run me a DVD of that off I would be eternally grateful mate and obviously sort you out any money you need! He LOVED his day out!

oh and I might as well have a look at the 996 one...

Did you get the spin?

SOOOOOOOOOO impressed with your car mate and thanks for looking after my uncle and talking him through it. He commented what a lovely bloke you were. I corrected him of course

I had someone else singing your praises last night as well as it happens!

greg is one of those people who can jump in any car, and within 15-20 secs he can push that car to its limits.

AWESOME DRIVER!

yeah, i notices a massive difference with the suspension, and the diff, i pull my way out of the corners, rather than eas off, and managed to pull my way straight after going through the back straight too fast try to catch porkie, but doing so made looooads of ground up

Its part of growing up mate You can't fight it father time!

ALOT to be said for BOMBPROOF reliability and comfort and class!

You should have asked for a drive. Everyone else got a go

Greg made it go VERY VERY VERY fast

It got the living SHIT kicked out of it on track by at least 5 people! feels like it could do it forever to be honest.

REALLY loving the car actually! its a TOTAL pussycat when you want it to be as well on the road.

That was what impressed me the most about it, I expected it to be quick, stop well, go round corners well etc, but I thought it would be less easy to drive just pulling away slowly etc than it was, anyone's mum could drive that to the shop and back, not just your talented one
