Hi Technics, you ok? Still got yours?

No i part chopped the M3 for this GT86, i was getting error codes for the SMG so took the chance to swap it out. I have to say the M3 is a great bit of kit and the SMG is awesome too.

My view of the GT86;

Fantastic for what it's designed for, which is high-rev fun at lesser speeds - well equipped throughout and great thought behind what a driver requires and likes. It won't do c 160mph like my coupe or 175mph the M3 would do, but on public roads it's more than adequate. It's easy to get some sideways/tail movement if you so wish, but certainly planted enough to feel safe. So far, she's absolutely loving this car!

The downside is its her car and i've ended up driving a 59 plate fiesta diseasel blush
I only do 2.4 miles each way for work, so the high powered machinery was obsolete now i don't go on track frown
