OK so i picked up an MCSC Works last night.

My MOC has had to go in to have its new stereo and manual a/c head unit fitted.

First of all OH MY GOD.

It's just so fast, the turbo sounds so sweet when it kicks in. The acceleration is unbelievable. I bombed up the motorway this morning and then through Milton Keynes, i was overtaking people left right and centre.

There is only one thing i would say. The LSD is going to be a big improvement, i have had the traction control on to much formy liking.

Anyway i let you know how i get on for the rest of day later.

You know what i mean i'm just too excited to get the right terminology. But thank you for pointing out my rather glaring mistake.

Just been out in it again, can't wipe the grin off my face.

The roads are especially slippery at the moment, my standard S is having the same issues - put 210 bhp through the front wheels on slippery roads, DSC is going to do its nut. You have to be sure to feather the throttle through corners - too much throttle and you'll understeer off - jump off the throttle and you could just experience a really bad dose of liftoff oversteer if you get a sudden dose of grip at the front wheels when the back are still slipping.

Be carefull out there!!

Yeah on my last little trip out (around 60 miles) think i got the hang of it.

Here's some pics if any one wants to see it.

Nice pics, thanks for posting them, a little taste of what I'm waiting for!! Wish my dealer had a car like that to take for a spin!

It's actually the parts managers car (i think before that it was the cheif executive's).

My dealer had to tell his parts manager i was thinking of buying one just so that i could test drive it.

A little white lie wont hurt anyone.

P diddy you have PM

Ok so i gave the car back last night. It was nice whilst it lasted, really enjoyed it.

So got my car back, couldn't change the cd player as the one they received was also faulty. Say that they have changed the manualk a/c head unit, but the original problem with it is that half of it doesn't light up, this problem still remains.

So my mate is going to have a word with the service department at Holland Park and i have been told to take it to Specialist Cars in Luton as they have a much better service department.

So although i had fun i'm not sure it was worth it, as i even had to insure the car myself as my licence is to blemished to put me on their insurance.
