@ Scarey

Scarey, so how you liking your new RR... Is it everything you hoped for..?

Do you find yourself "popping" out for some milk when you have loads left in the fridge, just so you can drive it more... Cool

thank you for asking kind sir...its very different from my smax, the seating position is much higher which is a good thing cos you can see well ahead over other vehicles..at the moment the ride is a bit wollowy around corners because of the 18'' wheels/tyres but i'm sure once i find some 20's it will improve....you seem to get more attention from other drivers who let you pull out etc ..must be due to the massive 'presence' of the ffrr...there are loads of toys on this thing , which i like but i really must get the windows tinted and wheels done to be totally satisfied with it...

I remember when I bought my first. It's a bit like driving a conservatory to start with. Other cars just seem a bit pokey after as well.

hoppy, when I ordered my first new RRS, I didn't even have a test drive because it was a lease car negotiated online. The first time I drove one was when I picked it up. I knew I would love it though... I wasn't wrong.

I wonder what the difference in ride will be with a FFRR.

I'm going to book a test drive me thinks now... Very Happy

They are WORLDS apart. The sport is nice, but very car like in the way it drives. The full fat will be like nothing else you've driven, I guarantee it! Cool

The only problem it used to have (in my leadfooted opinion) was that the td6 wasn't the 'sportiest' of engines. Now that's gone it's a true legend. Pulls like a freight train. I'm only jealous of the supercharged owners, nothing else can touch it! Thumbs Up My Previous RR's!

I'm really intrigued now how the FFRR handles/drives... I'm sure i'll like it though.

I might have to "calm" my cornering down a bit then... Laughing

Cheers

I have recently made the change and there is no comparisson. Like the look and syle of the RRS, and some of the gadgets to die for, but for quality of ride and feel, FFRR hands down No body told me there would be days like these
