    So I took the plunge.....

    We made it home from Coffs Harbour with the new (to me) beast. 2014 Supercharged Autobiography in Chile Red 65,000KM on the clock. I was very impressed with the fuel economy too, under 10l/100 KM on the first stint from Coffs to Buladelah and about 10.5 for the remainder of the trip home which included a lap of Newcastle's main street last night and coming through Sydney. Both numbers from the trip meter so they may be optimistic.

    Congrats.

    I’m sure you will have done some tube research on what the SCV8 L494 is capable of. Mind blowing stuff. So I took the plunge.....

    My friend in Adelaide has one...I think he has learnt every system on it.

    Such an elegant carriage can just smoke up the tyres at the lights and embarrass everything short of Ferrari and Porsche.

    Lovely choice.
