Hey all,
100 miles in and I'm with everyone else who has commented on it in that this is just a fantastic car to drive. Definitely happy with the choice of Championship White (apart from flies like to sit on it). Had nothing but compliments on the car so far. Never have I driven such a high performance car that fills you with so much confidence that it is not going to slip up, you never feel in danger of losing control.
I really do like the way the engine sounds, almost like it is after it's next victim. And the dip of the clutch to release turbo pressure just sounds fantastic. Considering this was one of the negatives in reviews I have no complaints at all but understand this is going to be down to personal taste. Needless to say I haven't fully throttled it at such a low mileage, but I have gave it a couple of little nudges to see how it responds (trying to keep below 5000 revs under heavy throttle). The car feels like it is begging for me to put my foot down, and despite being told you should be OK to do it from new, I don't fully feel comfortable.
I have a trip planned up to the Lake District from Lincolnshire tomorrow which should take me over 500 miles at which point I will give it a bit of a blast once the trip is complete. So far tootling around town showing friends and family and some small journeys has returned over 25 mpg's which is already more than my FN2 and this is based on a full tank that the car came with. I will see how it fairs on a long journey tomorrow to look at this further.
I could go on and on but I'll keep it short and sweet at that.
Happy to input if anyone has any specific questions about the car.
Should get some nice pics up the lakes tomorrow albeit it might not be shining by then.
