Got a call from a friend who asked nonchalantly " Are you in for the next 10 minutes ? "

In itself I knew he had a new toy , couple of minutes later i could hear a rumble and just knew what was going to appear at the end of the road , the bastardo

Didnt take much convincing to go for a quick blast , if you think the S is raw , this is unbelievable , much harsher and sharper than i ever imagined .

Sitting next to the S it makes appear as an MX5

Very nice, there's a black left hand drive 355 Spider that lives in the garages on our estate, I see the guy taking it out occassionally. Keep trying to catch him when he does so I can blag a ride

Did you go for a spin in it?

Everywhere we went folks were turning to see what was approaching , got stopped at a pelican crossing where 2 teenage lads were crossing ............so it had to be done .

floored it away , just unreal the way the power is delivered . When i mentioned the pick up he commented " yeah , its much quicker than my M5

Got 25k on the clock and has already had 7 previous , seems that people who can , but them for the experience and then move them on .

I think every curtain in our close was moving last Sunday
