Should BC be 'before children' rather than 'before Cayman' ?

My GT R has only just reached port so am still stuck with loan cars. MBUK yesterday kindly delivered a more winter friendly set of wheels.
I had only driven one for 15 minutes about two years ago and did not like it at all. Have been using it yesterday and today in proper use and I am embarrassed to say I love it. Not the colour but the drive in these conditions. Did feel like could go anywhere and do anything (which is probably actually the case) whilst still be reasonably quick. Handling wasn't even too bad for something enormous with such a high centre value of gravity. Even the pretty dated and terrible last gen Merc interior didn't seem to detract too much as I am sure it would do in any other variant.

So possibly not a Macan beater...I don't think I would see which way a petrol Macan had gone around a country road but if I wanted to hoon across a field...!

Looks like the polar opposite of most of the exotica that you've driven!

..although you can get an AMG 63 (or something similar) version. Check out the V8 biturbo badge....!Wing Commander wrote: ↑Sat Dec 09, 2017 4:56 pm Looks like the polar opposite of most of the exotica that you've driven!

Yes it's running the old 5.5 turbo V8 rather than the new 4.0 hot vee turbo but still pushing out 570 bhp...good enough for a 0-62 of...5.4...shows how heavy it is doesn't it!
