craig

looks good

wish you many happy daze with it

So have you run it in then yet Craig? Ordered mine last week and i have to say the wait is frustrating as hell.

was it difficult to delete the ‘body coloured splitter’ - was there a charge?

I drove an S for the first time this morning. I have to say I was very, very, impressed. The extra low down urge makes it a far better road car.

I’m not convinced its much quicker than the standard S2 above 6000 rpm but from 3000 through to 6000 there is no contest.

Congratulations to all those with one on order.

EVO mag tried the run out (ltd edition) Corolla hot hatch with the s/c…they said the same about the mid range, with the car running out of steam at the top end. Obviously better suited to the Exige tho’.

Except at Anglesey eh chaps

Tim.

still running in but up to 500miles now…

couldnt wait and i already have the exhaust off, cat off and rear element off … fookin heavy thing the S exhaust. spend 34big ones and get it home and rip it to bits…

Nice job with trimming the heat shielding

craig

Yes thats correct, and yes my number plate is currently held in place with plastic ties! Not to much of a prob since I will not get to drive it for another couple of weeks
Have to amuse myself by trying to kill myself doing this

nice pic, was that taken in Scotland?? :slight_smile:)

looks like some nice fat skis too for d powda.

I wish it was Scotland
It was Telluride Co. at Christmas
The skis are just a pair of twin tips (I like the mid mounting of the bindings for off piste skiing)

Looks great, I have come back to skiing in (ahem) middle age, so am having to work quite hard (and spend a lot) on getting past the “intermediate plateu”. Seems to be working though :slight_smile:)

The new shaped ski should make that an easier task

They certainly do. I think I have finally made a big step…left my 18yr old duaghter for dead on the slopes in Les 2 Alpes last week hehehe.
Graham
PS That’s as in left behind BTW

The problem with the new shaped ski is that they only really allow for carving, now I ski at pretty high level (not wishing to sound arrogant) and I find them far less enjoyable to ski with than say a twin tip, or a mogul ski (if you�re into that kind of thing). I have always found that Rossignol tend offer the best all round skis, and aren�t so obsessed with large heads, (unlike the likes of Atomic and Head). What do you ski with guys ?
