Nice But

Today I had to deliver the spare RX8 wheels I had and the Borla zorst my 8 used to sport, to Manchester...... fitted perfectly in the leggy:happy:
Fi decided as we were so close to Chester we NEEDED to go shopping /pan female logic....:inquisiti so off down the A556 we trot to said shopping village (more like town) at Ellesmere..... deep joy. But it did mean that we had to come back....... via country roads.........Yay.
This is the 1st time I've really had the opportunity to progress at a reasonable rate on some interesting roads. I can't remember the full directions but Fi is very good at finding direct routes on yellow grade roads. The Leggy don't half grip doesn't it..../haz The moonroof was open, the sound of a wailing V6 at full chat in tiptronic mode, the grippy tyres and fantastic lanes.......... heaven. Shame about my wobbly brakes :o the odd emotional moment.....
So to sum up 200 miles 1 tank of juice and a bit, a grin from ear to ear.... what a car! Mitsi have made a cracker. An RX8 it isn't, and I am not comparing the cars, but the VR feels so planted, the power delivery is silky smooth, when the 40mph sunshine driver gets in your way, plant the pedal listen to the roar and the whine as it all spools up............ Nirvana.
And if I am adding to global warming...... after todays weather - Bring it on....
Now when is my dump valve going to arrive/Banana
