Thats because you haven't got an engine worth listening to

Mine have been down all day today.

I can hear the sweet sound of my 4 pot just fine through the poverty level of sound insulation thanks

Too much yaris love in here

Have an engine, it's under there somewhere.

Sounds epic, looks epic, goes epic, feels epic, is epic. Like the CSL before it, much more than the sum of its parts.

So what's the story with Gibbo and the GTS?

It's Tax Evaders new steed and it's epic.

Averaging 16mpg - it's an ECO car! And it's family friendly. Has a climbing frame in the back to keep the kids entertained.

What did you have before this beast?

Housey · 27 May 2012 at 19:28

Thanks for the run yesterday mate, proper car that, feels like a true racer on the road, more so than a CSL and more so than my GT3 with track geo I feel. Going to go some when it's run in, I can feel it in my pie.

I wouldn't have one. No Nav.

Had an E92 M3 (White one) and prior to that a CSL for seven years.

Lack of PDC nearly put me off TBH

Funnily enough, babe in the dealer said she wouldn't have it as it has no radio

[TW]Fox · 27 May 2012 at 19:41

The radio was a no-cost option wasn't it? Any reason you didnt bother? It cant weigh that much!

Got loads more round here, see if you can keep up with an MX-5 when it's run in!

Instead of turning right through 'that village' with the speed bump turn left and you have a long road, sorry autobahn, where I saw 13.5 things in my GT3, there is your challenge....obviously if you can be bothered to drive to Germany where 'that village' is....and of course it has an Autobahn running through it. I remember the village well as during the 13.5 things, I saw an old boy cycle out of his drive oblivious about 50 yards in front of me. I passed him at 'some' things and I still remember the wobble on his bike....but not a sign of disapproval, just carried on obliviously. That's, er, Germans for you I guess

If anyone from Cheltenham decodes this it might be made up and I'm sure inaccurate, I'm sure that decimal point is wrong..

I'm not sure what the cost was. The only two options were Radio & A/C. This car was already built and in the showroom (0 miles, unregistered) so I took it 'as is' (with just A/C). It seems most had A/C spec'd, bit like the CSL.

Cattle Grid to Cattle Grid (CGTCG) is THE time to beat , I have the record (of course) but Nords and Angus tried and Chalkie is convinced he'd beat it in his van.

You wouldn't hear it over the exhaust and induction noise, nor would you want to

Tax Evader.....fancy getting some decent photos of it at some point? Given my love of the e92 this is the ultimate for me
