Sorry Amar, Can't. I'm still having a love affair with the shape of the stock pipes from the back. As a compromise I could play a recording of a Euro Fighter through the stereo.
What a horrible day to collect a car. Seriously bad spay on the M40/M42. Couldn't see a thing. Not that I was looking out the windows that much. I finally figured how to switch the nav off when I was about half a mile from home. Dur
These are a very different beast to our D2's. I'm going to miss mine. The D3 is fast, but floor it and it feels like someone's fitted a bl00dy big magnet that pulls you irresistibly to the horizon. Its quieter, less involving and highlights how much the D2's are more raw and immediate.
There's a lot of toys though. The MMI even has its own big fat 300 page handbook. So now I can switch off and on the rear interior lighting, set their climate and loads of other insane stuff. It'll keep me off the streets for months.
I am going to miss that D2. You'll laugh but its my favourite motor since I had a 2 door Cortina 2.0 GT in white with a black vinyl roof. That car fitted me, I understood what it was doing and could get it to go. The D2 is the first since to better that And I still love how it looks. And sounds. And goes
