Bloody hell, this thread is getting depressing. All these top-shelfers are making my old E46 330i look like a right ten-pinter.
In the same boat as you. Last few pages have been absolutely corking!
The nav/entertainment part is awful, but that is the only thing really. The gearbox in the MC Stradale (and an option on the later 4.7 cars) is an automated manual that trades shift speed for low speed usability. However the standard auto that I have is the opposite, very comfortable and easy but slightly slower shifting, though to be honest it's not slow at all.
It's a great GT car, comfortable for long journeys but handles very well when you get onto nicer roads. The looks and the sound are great bonuses and are a big part of why I purchased it.

Someone left all the panels open in that last pic... looks like it's trying to become a transformer and got stuck...

New addition time!
It's an '05 Audi TT Quattro Sport, one of 800 brought into the UK. Also the only TT ever – as far as I'm aware – that was built in Germany. Outside of the visual differences (roof, roof rails, body kit, spoiler, wheels) it's a bit lighter, quicker and stiffer than a regular Mk1.
I drove one a few years back and really liked it, so didn't have to think too much when I saw this one up for grabs locally. Needs some cosmetic TLC and a bit of tinkering, but it's all there and I'm looking forward to restoring it to its former glory – and tuning it a little...
Still got the Dodge, but haven't driven it at all – finished rebuilding the exhaust system a few weekends back and the weather's been miserable since. I don't mind driving it in the rain but at the moment there are no seals or floor plugs in the boot, and having spent so long restoring it, I don't want it to get damaged again.

love the colour etc, the prices are all over the place with them, mind telling me how much you paid for it?No buckets! That's the best colour though.
I still miss mine, I think they are fantastic. https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18416685 my old one.

Less than a week. So far I love it, goes like stink and is nice to drive. Far too early to call in any depth, but so far, so good.
