JakeG Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Arived home last night after a long long drive to pick it up, it drives brilliant, first time I have drove a 6speed and its really amazing to drive, cruising along the motorway was no problem and I even noticed that it used far less fuel than my 5speed would have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
