    Very WRC Beckers. I'd love to see those front arches extend to the rear on the 3dr version ;-)

    I remember when they first came out and I got wasted in my old diesel BMW, so I bought a v6 and got wasted again. Then I changed to a 3.2 v6 Vectra and guess what..... Yep, I got wasted by a Mk2 :eek:
    Now I've got the bike and you're saying they now do 170mph. Almost no point trying to compete really is there :D

    Apparently a real gearbox as well, and not a naff twin clutch job. Just so looking forward to seeing that lay down 300+ ponies from a standstill on a streaming wet road.

    Still no match for a Litre Sports Bike.

    U only have to watch the 530 bhp Nissan GTR Pace Car at the BSB rounds wazzin round the Track at full tilt whilst the Bikes behind cruise round cursing the slow car in front making their brakes and tyres cool off too much!

    Looks flash , esp the seats.

    It will go like stink - £30k not a bad price for the speed - lots of competion with Merc A / B class AMG and S3 but they take a different approach so Focus RS / Renault megane closer rivals I guess

    Someone has to do it buddy, just off to the airport now actually. Still on crutches though, this will be first time through security with all the steel work in my ankle. Wonder if it will set the alarm off?

    Love it, had an old EP3 Type R and it was so much fun, a little unrefined and ugly as sin but good fun.

    This looks great and has 50% more power.

    It's a crime there is no 3dr version though.
