Nice addition.
A bit big and heavy for my tastes, but definitely a classic through and through. |

Time to change your sig ![]() 1st report! ![]() Been on a half a tank trip this evening. How can I phrase this? Travelling at the legal limit is subjectively akin to standing still – especially (I should imagine!) in contrast to other speeds... 100 km/h could be comfortably added to the open road/autobahn limits under most circumstances (I should imagine!). Tracks straight as an arrow. Uncanny keenness to respond to input when negotiating a roundabout enthusiastically – a truly surprising nimbleness that belies its weight. It's no Lotus in the steering feedback, but not a fraction as bad as I'm sure most of you suppose it must be. My colleague was impressed when we found an open stretch – and I mean flat and with a completely unobstructed view all around – of road and putting my foot down in 4th resulted in stellar acceleration. Creamy smooth, seemingly boundless continually accelerating surge forwards. Applying the brakes to check it all resulted in a very impressive poise and lack of drama as it hauled the speed back down. Had an interesting moment when I was attacking an empty roundabout and the side of the seat seemed to collapse by a centimetre or so under load ![]() About 320 kilometers. About half an 89 litre tank = 14 litres per 100 km = 20 mpg. Not as bad as I expected! ![]() Well on the way to bonding with the car after this evenings run. I'm stirred but not shaken ![]() |
