You just can't handle the truth (or the power) :D

Although it does need to go back for a check up after the injector change, complete Twintake replacement and new Revo file!

Another years insurance sorted via Sky! Renewal quote was ok but got a better quote from Greenlight which Sky then matched and also gave extra £20 rebate due to their price promise!

Biggest diff was post code change though...took £300 off!

I knew they would think the original back box might be too loud!

They've since made 2 other versions of the rear section - 2 small silencers or 2 bigger ones!

Question is shall I try to get the one with 2 small silencers?

3 years old next week, so had the MoT done this morning at local dealer before the SMT deal expires.

Passed with no issues. :)

Now the saving plan starts as I'm liking the look of this. The TTS owner approves so game on! :D

Nothing wrong with dreaming...

Anyway keep dreaming

Oh sorry!
Didnt find the AMG one. Haha i thought 211ps was just being to little for a sports car.

Then i would love to see the release info about that car. But as you say, i think we are in the dreamland :rolleyes:

3 years and 17 pages of forum gold - time has come for this thread to end.

Car is now pretty much back to standard bar the Sachs clutch and H&Rs. Feels sooo different, sooo quiet and sedate. Feels like a stock TTS :P

Pipe and slippers motoring from now on for a while. R will be getting a final clean and wax then it's time to sell it either privately or via a trade in deal.

It has been an epic 3 years of motoring though. :)

Gonna miss this car.
