JCW looks nice, does it have the switch to make the exhaust sound hooligan? :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

The one i viewed had a bluetooth switch that opened up a valve in the exhaust, apparently its for track use only but it sounded awesome and track use would also mean country roads :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

HAd an original 1275GT one, handled like it was on rails, even went round corners on two wheels :evil:

Newer one Mini cooper D, again handled so sublime, no grunt though, mind you nothing like the power of this one youve got :thumbsup:

Brilliant and fun cars to drive.
E89/28i Msport gone :( .. Zx10r track bike gone… time for a KTM 350 exc-f and some green laning and dirt bike excursions…. Let’s see how this goes… : :evil:
