I think that depends on how you define "fun". And perhaps also "disappointment", "embarrassment", and even "lapped by Elises" ;-)

Mind you Gareth, you did say it was your Dad's...so for that, we can forgive!!

Actually Gareth, come to think of it, get it along to our next KH event and invite Ian Forrest to "show us some moves" in it.

How does it go? "Maximum attitude, minimum ability" [Cameron will correct me!]

Great cars and I personally love the look of them , but the last thing that can be referred to is as a "track toy" :lol:

Hi Gareth

Brakes will need a serious amount of money spent on them......
I drove one of the early M3's on KH and the brakes disappeared after 3 laps

Speak to the chap who appears at KH from time to time with the tweaked 535D (He had discs,calipers,pads and a change of wheels to accomodate the brake upgrade)

Otherwise tell your Dad to leave it standard and buy a S1 for the price of the upgrade?

I just picked it up.
It's actually a very beautiful car with loads and loads of toys. Clever stuff.
Loved it!

Sounds gorgeous! :D
