That's good value! And one does get a laugh out of it too as I used to do when I had a fabulous C Type Jaguar replica which was spot on. Couldn't help but tell one or two that it had raced at Le Mans .... well it kept them happy and me amused!!

But nowt touches the M3W for sheer fun and the number of people who smile or wave at you is incredible and very pleasing too.

Must say I have enjoyed my bump steer and noisy transmission .... when wound up mine sounds like supercharged Alfa 8C!! Wonderful! Can't hear a bloody thing and holding on like grim death ..... for me that is what it is all about.

If I want a smooth quiet ride I use my 996 Turbo; end of story.
