Thanks guys, and for the forgiveness for some of my remarks on the 63.
But I am a turbo man through and through. However I did like the 63 looks,
geabox and soudtrack in small doses, but a long run of 2 hours made me realise it's attributes didn't count for much. When Starship Enterprise goes
warp 10 iit's done so quie and effortless, that's the feeling I like. Tuning the
600 made me realise that. She is a beautiful car, and I now have a car with
finances paid off too, just need a boot spoiler, front splitter, a re map and
a Johnson I/C pump and I am there. Here's to V12 TT

Apart from the efortless power it's ability to overtake is phenomenal, the 63
being nat *** had to change down several gears as the power was at the top end, this is what I mean by that turbo feeling, loads of torque and
the delivery is superb. If I hadn't driven a 2004 65 some years ago and was
ccompletely dissapointed by that car, I would have spent the last few years
arguing about the 65 as a whole. In fact the car is so good I could live with
it stock, it's lighting up the rears already, god knows with a re map how it
will feel, like a rocket ship I expect.
