1st Car In Bonnie Scotland
 

I've been lucky enough to take delivery of my car ahead of the majority of other pre-orders over here in the UK,

Thought some of you international folk might like to see some pics of my black eurospec model.

Most pics on pages three and four

enjoy my efforts

Looks great! If I thought I could keep one clean, I'd have gotten black. It looks really sharp!

I wish I could get one of those Euro lip spoilers. Very subtle, but finishes off the rear.

lip spoilers - they're a nice touch, and have their practical aspects:

knocks 0.01 off the drag figure and is just about visible when reversing.

just need some better weather for some decent pics, with the weather in scotland just now it's gonna need washed after every run..

Wow, awesome car amongst some awesome scenery! Scotland.....beautiful......Illinois,USA boring!!!!! Thanks for sharing and enjoy the ride!!

haha but i love the car, what are the major differences between the UK spec and our US spec ones?



andrew

is that your big ass mansion in the backround?

Andrew,

pretty simiilar (well powerwise now anyway)

we only get two models, 192bhp and 231 bhp, the top spec one gets xenon's and the aluminium pedal set, while the lower power one does without and gets a 5 speed manual box instead of the 6.

our cars get full auto climate control and those little lip spoilers, all have 12.5' disks and the 18' wheels.

never been up in the grounds at stirling before (my youger brother has just graduated) really nice place but a bit out of town. But you're right in the heart of scottish history when you go there.

17yo sounds fun for insurance in this country although rates in stirling are about half what you have to pay in glasgow.

yeak mike, everone loves my house (i wish ;) )
