Well that’s 4 of us with these “sport pack” cars :D it still amazes me the speed of the gear changes

Thanks for the glowing review Chris. It will be reluctant sale that’s for sure. Let’s see what happens..

Thanks for the info. I could go down the Audi route then!

That’s correct. I wonder how many were made?

As I’m aware you have the same car. Yes they are rather special aren’t they

I’ve decided to sell my baby! Really not getting the use out of her and could well be going down the EV route. If anyone is interested please pm me. Thanks in advance...

I can confirm the 4.7 mc auto (sport pack) with the x-pipe fitted does have crackles and pops! I have this combination. I’m in-awe of the super fast gear change too. I do agree the 4.7 mc shift with the x pipe sounds better. My friend #Bladerunner has this combination

My near side door mirror hadn’t retracted Or opened since I bought it. Was floppy and no matter what I did with the switch it just didn’t work. Until!... I removed the interior door card and found the white connection block had become dislocated. Saved my spending £960 on a new one!

Gone but never forgotten. Sincere condolences to the family.
