Thanks Watts, you need to treat yourself to a new TR ED50  :wink:

I've toyed with it but at the end of the day, I don't think I can justify spending £20k plus my current car to get a change of colour. The CS is a really good car and Oryx is not a terrible colour!

Btw, is that a little VW Ted in the co-pilot's seat? I have one from 2015, he lives in the n/s door pocket and keeps me company. He certainly listens to me better than my OH.... :laugh:

In your situation I can understand it’s a difficult proposition Watts. Exactly that, I’ve got another teddy to add to my collection. Some people get champagne and I got a teddy 😂

I got sweet FA LOL. Terrible really considering it’s a 50K purchase. Meh.

@TomGti50.
Looks cracking that, if you'd have said to me gold wheels I'd have said no awful but they seem to sit very well with that green.
Enjoy her she's a beauty.

First impressions after 250 km: this car is comfortable, even with pp.
Could be that I'm a bit biased as my last two cars were Hyundai i30N's wich are a lot harder.  :smiley:
I let some air out of the tyres too. Official numbers are 3,0 bar on the four corners. I put 2,8 in, keeping in mind that the Hyundais had 2,7 in the front and 2,4 in the back with the same tyres and about the same weight.
I would put the 3 bar back in when I would go on track, but don't see the need for daily driving.
