Nice ! If I keep my eddy I want a black one if not it will be white.
I think mine only specced up at just over 32k and it was just over 30k with the discount, I think prices have went up since then though, have you drive it yet ?

Went to Shakey, it was HOT HOT HOT!!!

20 minute+ queues and the car was cooked. As I thought the gearing bit me on the ass... on the limiter in 3rd crossing the line, or a short shift to 4th, both lost me time. Great fun though and a huge improvement on Brunters.

Yea you can really feel the differance the heat makes it was in the 30s here and I took the eddy for a drive in to the mountains and it felt like it had reverted back to stage 2, Ive never felt that much of a differance before !
Either that or shell nitro plus is Sh1t !

I thought it was you bombing down the strip every half an hour or so.

Decent trap speed, but I reckon the starting block wasn't prepped enough or the surface temperature killed it as I've noticed a few people's 60' times seemed slower than the Pod. :sad1:

Yup, I was really having to manage wheelspin in 1st & 2nd, not something I'm used to at all - it usually grips and gets off like a stabbed rat.

I reckon a decent launch would see me able to use 4th to just tickle that trap speed up a bit and get in the low 13s. Cooler days and shorter waiting times can only help too, my bonnet was like the surface of the sun!!

I'm tempted to head to the Pod now.

I sat in both the A45 and the M135i at Goodwood FoS.

Sadly not enough room to the right of the brake for my oversize clog but the BMW was definitely a class place to sit.
My vote goes to Munich irrespective of anything else.  :smiley:

Was it the Alpine white one with the carbon interior bits?

I've ordered mine in similar spec, minus the devastatingly costly carbon parts. Although I have ordered the M performance kidney grilles and pedal covers.

I was up having a look at the weekend I was really surprised at the interior space and the entry room from the door !
Bigger and easier to access than an e90 I reccon.
