I took the opportunity for a quick blast into the Peaks early doors hoping for a nice view, but the fog was so thick I bailed out. Anyhow so the photos are not quite what I had intended but never mind!
I'm going to get the gloss black grill surround done when it's in stock with the dealer - but apart from that the car is exactly what I want. More pics if the weather complies!

Looks the part Megatron!

How is the V8 AWD for putting all that BHP down on the road?

Thanks!
I can only compare it to my 997 C4S - that was AWD but a lot less power meant that it was virtually impossible to get the back to step out and it always felt planted under full acceleration. The V8 is a different beast; even for an AWD drivetrain it's noticeably a lot more twitchy. It wriggles a bit on full acceleration even on the straight and feels like a handful. Early morning cold tyres and winter roads could be interesting..

I agree Megatron - looks lovely and yep mine is twitchy too when it's wet or cold!

I'm looking forward to compare the black pack look to my slightly more standard chrome look in about ten days time!

Weirdly mine has the black side vents and window surround but body coloured bonnet vents. It was specced with the black pack however the previous owner must have wanted body coloured AWD bonnet vents instead. It doesn't bother me at all.

I test drove a v6s AWD 2 weeks ago, it was white with the exterior black pack yet the bonnet vents were colour coded white too

I have a AWD bought from new. The AWD vents are body color, no choice.... but then again so elegant!
