Is it right to feel this smug?
When i first picked up my new baby i thought to myself you lucky lucky barsteward
Now after the first 1k in her in know i'm a lucky lucky, well you get the idea In gear this car is phenomenal, much more punch than my previous stead, or so it seems sitting 1/2 inch off the ground Have just started to explore the handling side of things, you know poking the arse out around slow and wide corners, i must say it does seem quite a controlable beast and not the manic tearaway some would have you believe in the wet.
Then theres the looks and the comments, nothing but positive comments from friendly stokies One guy even came across to me in Tesco's car park and started chatting away like he'd known me for years, poor old boy thought it was a Z4 at first, but he was soon corrected Even with the side badges, most people haven't a clue what it is (refer to sig )
On the whole, most pleased, no scrub that, i'm chuffed to bits.
Roll on the summer

Gods knows it is a looker Pie!!
Hope you are checking the oil religiously as that block was one of the thirstiest (and quickest!!)
I used to love driving down Deansgate in Manchester and seeing the cars reflection in the plate glass windows (and pedestrians reactions naturally! )
Enjoy!

Funny you should mention the oil Tif, it's checked weekly, my ATR was the same, thirsty with the oil but went like stink
I will post up some pictures, i promise, but i want to have a full day on her before i post up
She's shining her bag off now, but a full days valet is in order, plus i'm waiting for some wax from AB
See oi'm taking the first steps towards Tiffdom, i've even angled my Meguiers products along the top shelf in the garage, no carpet yet tho'

lol, that is Spooky baby forces sale yet again!
Hope Paul and Emma are doing well, there are fun cars to be had even after the arrival of the first born
I remember Paul's ATR being rather fine, glad he has stuck with fast Hondas

Tif, i tried to convince him back into an ATR and take mine in PX against the S, he was interested at first but i think Em told him to stick with the CTR (correct me if im wrong Paul )
