Your car is gorgeous. I love that wheel design. Any photos of the inside, and how does it compare to the 4200?
Obviously not everyone agrees with the wheel colour! I'm not usually a fan of dark wheels, must admit, but silver just doesn't work with the white imho.
I'll dig it out of the garage at the weekend (which is no easy task, it's lower & wider than the 4200) in fact I realise what a practical family orientated car the 4200 was. I'll take a few snaps & post then.
Only really driven the car back from the dealer, mostly because of the **** weather & in part because I've F#%ked my back.
But first impressions, totally different beast than the 42, it's like getting in a plastic bucket, but once in it's fairly spacious & surprising comfortable, doesn't bump & crash over potholes. Not spoilt with gadgets or cubby holes. Nothing seemed to rattle or want to fall off. Wind noise is minimal under about 90, but the engine is loud just behind your left lug hole. But when crusing off the gas it's sensible.
Probably not much in it performance wise from a standstill, but the in gear shove is hilarious. Certainly not missing the extra 150 odd bhp. Geared quite long as well 80mph sits around 2500-2800rpm as apose to about 4000 in the 42. Appears to have a load of torque over the 4200 (not sure how this is on paper) always felt you had to really rev the 42 to wake it up....not a criticism. Guess this is the difference between NA and being blown.
I think the twisty stuff will be where it shines. I'll find out at the weekend!
