In further news - I have my certicate of conformity:
45: Sound Level: Staionary 70/157-1999/101 86dB(A) at engine speed 4725min-1 Drive by: 75dB(A)
No mention of the side pipes on that or the ausweiss. Ah ok, so it's exactly the same.  I will never believe that mine it's 86dB at 4725 rpm.

So last night I managed to get round to washing the car. This gave rose to a couple more "interesting" points:
- The car most defintitely has some paint protection/wax on it. The water beads beautifully and dirt lifts off with no problems at all.
- Some careless individual had brushed past the car and lightly scuffed the laquer. 5 seconds with a microfibre and some Sonax Nano and it was all sparkly and new again.
I have come to the conclusion that "knowing" a car's paintwork is a continually depressing experience. Each time it gets washed I notice a new imperfection.
On the flipside of that - driving home from work yesterday and it felt amazing - it puts a smile on my face with consumate ease!

After spending the last week using it more or less as my daily drive I decided to video one of the reason why! [video:youtube] http://youtu.be/7qEc8hbSoR4[/video]

So Saturday I took the roof off, slipped into the drivers seat and enjoyed a nice steady cruise over to the dealer (55 miles away). The more I drive the car on (Swiss) motorways the more the ride seems to improve. At cruising speeds it seems enormously capable at soaking up bumps and makes for a very nice GT.
After I had dropped the car off I ran over the hills back to Brugg (around 30 miles or so and 4600ft of climb)
