Good job with the SVR - I still find it astonishing (in a good way) that a production car sounds like that these days.I like silly loud!
Was with a friend last night for curry who has just bought an SVR @Gibbo who you know. He loves it and uses it as his daily and thinks it's superb if a little bit space limited. He has a 488 in the garage and hasn't used it for months, which is quite telling I think. It's white which for me doesn't work but he said it's a hooligan of a car and great for this time of year. He might just be talking up him book mind, but I know how much he paid for it and frankly the price he STOLE it for it's unlikely he will be out of pocket if it lost 50% of its new value next week.
Forgive my amnesiaNo its a proper car, huge personality, huge noise. If he heard mine he would probably do the filter swap immediately as the SC Whine is bonkers but sounds so good to my ears.
I've got a dragy aka vbox in mine and when I was out the other day in freezing slippery conditions it still registered a 3.3s dash to 60mph, never have I owned a car that puts power down so well, but out of the slippery junctions you can still drive like a proper yobbo and just fling it sideways.
Glad your mate is enjoying.![]()
So those that would like to get into 20-35k cars (XK/R, C63, M3 or even GTR) should wait or get one ASAP?
It's annoying because I can just about afford one but it would be the stupidest decision ever, should get myself onto the property ladder first![]()

I said that, then I purchased my GTR and have had the best 3 years of my life.
Its going up for sale at £34950 this week as a stage 1 car. Happy to do you a better price to avoid the autotrader and pistonhead dreamer crap that will follow![]()
And I can vouch its never been launched as he is a pussy.![]()

Forgive my amnesiabut was the SC whine there when we had the meet? - it sounded epic then! - it’s an epic machine, such a short ride with you yet permanently etched in my mind!
Guessing there could be good deals on JLR stock? They're in a spot of bother at the minute, posting a loss recently and with job losses possible.
I saw a Lamborghini Anus or whatever it's called earlier. I really don't see the point in them. Why would you buy a Lambo, but an SUV![]()
