I backed off at 6,500 out of respect to the neighbours and urban speed limits (it'll hit 35 in 1st) :D It's quiet? I must need a better exhaust... though I do notice that the engine is silent on the motorway, you simply can't appreciate it because the tyre and wind noise is worse than most. The OPD monitor is working perfectly, too - I need to fix the others. We won't have the RX8, I'll either have the latest addition to the fleet - an aging and multicoloured Volvo 850, which I'm about to replace hopefully with an all purple one, our MX5, or Jen's Golf. The 850's engine note is very nice indeed. I'm hoping to see an Aurora at the show, maybe (must reply to Roy about those, actually).
