    Picked up my new car today

    Well its now the third time that I've had the same car in 6 years. All be it, this one is a limited edition RB320.

    Not great pics, but its all I can manage as I'm fooked after no sleep from the nightshift and travelling to get the car.

    They come as standard on this model, and are meant to be pretty light compared to the standard STI versions.
    They are more like an anthracite, with silver and gold flecks through the lacquer which looks the biz.

    To be honest it is worth the extra cost.
    I spend more on red bull over the space of a year than i would for the tax

    Very nice! Can't beat an RB and it's the last of the good shapes. Now get it decatted, FMIC, induction kit, MD series turbo and remap and run 400/400 all day long :)

    Sorry but this is staying standard apart from the stereo(piano) getting replaced, and brake pads.

    Would love a Waz in one of those but feel I'm at an age when I'd just look a CHAV!

    400bhp?

    Pah! I need 507bhp! [​IMG]

    Gota be one of these next if funds allow!

    Fair enough in a straight line as with all of those 2 1/2 tonne motorway munchers, but I know as well as you do it would get shat on, on the A roads and twists where the fun really is. Anyone can have a lead foot ;)

    Correct me if I'm wrong here.
