No problem Derrick Enjoy the car, I will sorely miss her/it

That would be Leicester, not Leeds, Derrick ;) We're further north than London, but not that far! Neil

I found the Borla system a perfect compromise of more than loud enough on throttle, without being intrusive or droney on a cruise; it's actually marginally louder than the standard system when cruising.

I had considered the Audi S4, but I've not been a big proponent of the more modern Audi's; I'm usually giving them stick at work, so I'd never live it down if I bought one. The F31 BMW is substantially beyond the budget I'm working to. I was thinking about an E60 545 as an option (if I can find one) It looks like I'm erring towards a Volvo V70R AWD. I really fancy the five pot, as they sound fantastic

I test drove a 3.0R Spec B a few weeks ago. For the most part the car was very nice and practical, the ride/handling was better than expected, but I just found the performance to be completely lackluster. It was an auto, so that didn't help, and also driving there in the ISF obviously skews your performance perspective, but it really felt dull. I'm hoping a manual, 2L GT turbo, would have a bit more umph. I'm not expecting it to compete with the ISF, but a it's got to have a bit of gusto.

I had been thinking either a C55 or E55 estate, but I've decided to go for something a little cheaper, like a Legacy GT Spec B (or even a Volvo 850R if I can find one), which would give more spare cash for other projects and holidays. I'll be able to upgrade a few bits on my track car and I'm also planning to get an M35A2 army truck, which I'd like to convert into a camper inside, whilst retaining the standard looks from the outside. Anyway, cheers for the comments :)

Hello guys, Unfortunately it's time to part ways with the ISF. I've reluctantly chosen to sell it to fund other projects and also get an estate car which would suit my lifestyle a bit more. I don't need to tell you guys how much fun these cars are, and is without a doubt the most enjoyable, all round great car I've ever owned. I still find myself turning back to admire it, after I've parked. I'll be very sorry to see it go, but needs must... and there are plenty other boxes I need to tick on my bucket list. It's a shame I didn't get to meet up with any of you guys before. Cheers Neil
