In acme's chair.
I bet its fun thrashing along a road like that, if you have no brain.

I am constantly expecting a kid to walk out from behind a car. Especially after it happened a couple of times! :eek:

Everyone seems to be getting new cars these days whilst I'm still pootling about in an old M3 :o

I think it kinda makes sense at this rate to just see it through to a transition fully into a fast EV in 5 5 years time when solid state batteries are the norm and quick charge stations are as frequent as service stations.

Please tell me that the splitter is held on by self tappers?

They're mounting holes where cannards were fitted at some point. Another thing on the to do list.

I like those red wheels for some reason. They contrast nicely with the white bodywork.

They're growing on me too. But way too wide at 9.5 imo and they're messing up how it drives. The speedlines are 8.

Also the tyres. Big white letters Toyo Proxes but they're actually Nankang NS2R

Great drive out today with a bunch of other Corvette owners, did around 150 miles which was half a tank of fuel and car was flawless:

Car is driving superb, got it driving so much better in a relatively short time. :)

Quick blast after grabbing a full tank of fuel for the first time in a while. Looking forward to heading to Caffeine and Machine next weekend :)

I enjoy it - it's not as quick, modern, or arguably as reliable as a lot of the latest motors in a similar category (think Golf R, A35/45 etc.) but I love how it drives.

Road noise generally isn't an issue when you have a loud exhaust :D However, the Dunlop Sport Maxx RT2s are seemingly quite noisy (terrible tyre IMO) but otherwise cabin noise is very acceptable and I have happily done hours in this car without issue. My standards aren't exactly high when it comes to comfortable cars though...

I watched the JayEmm review on one of these last night. He echoed your first sentence and finished it in the same way. Made me lust after a 22B or even a bug eye being slightly more realistic :p

Attended the Bear town cruise in Congleton today, 120 cars including Batman.

StangUK and check my story on Instagram for all pictures but here is a few.

Was great opening up the Ferrari on fresh tarmac and laying down some 11’s and properly opening it up before the road was officially opened. :D

What a great road it is, great long sweepers and won’t be long until the camera vans are out.

Oh reminds me - possibly saw a 458 (would have to check footage) open up on some little Audi that tried to race it a couple of days or so ago. It wasn't even a contest.

EDIT: Oh got that wrong:

Guessing it is a 720?
