majik_thighs Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I used the next generation car shampoo to start with, then followed that by using the megs ultimate compound to remove blemishes, then the megs clay kit. After that, used autoglym super resin polish and finished off with dodo juice purple haze wax.

Absolutely, totally, love love love it!! :D :D :D Think that about sums it up :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majik_thighs Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Ditto!....... ......I can honestly say you just don`t get fed up of driving them and any excuse will do, and that dosen`t wear off. The wifes Mini is so much cheaper to run but the OB is the one I use all the time. When I get back on an even keel health-wise i`m going to get a re-map to give it just that bit more and slightly better MPG. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hope that's soon for you mate (health-wise)......you'll have to share the juicy details of the remap, if and when it happens ;) When pennies allow (and my current exhaust dies) I'm planning on a full stainless system to help the flow-through too :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david1972 Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 By sport mode, do you mean just flooring it, or switching across to manual shift? (I've not tried that yet - note to self ;) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majik_thighs Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 If you just push it across and leave it its still in auto but the sport mode is engaged, you can either shift manually or just leave it in auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majik_thighs Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 In thee 2.5 it's nowhere near as noticeable. I've had mine a year now and only just unleashed the sport mode the other day. Sent from my Galaxy S 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 It was great.....I had this taxi behind me (vw passat I think) and I was tootling along at 30 approaching where the limit changes to 50. Just before it changes there's a traffic island, so unless you are totally reckless, you have to wait until the limit change to pass. He was showing all the obvious signs of intent to pull out, so I thought here we go, this will be a canny test. Flicked it across, hit the 50 sign, then gave the loud pedal a press. He had dropped back a few metres to give himself a slight run and must have just put his foot down before me. My power kicked in, he was left floundering and had to pull back in, then stayed about 50 yards behind me for the next few miles......THE PERFECT RESULT :D This is THE satisfying feeling I've been longing for since I joined the ranks back in January......feeling so fulfilled right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majik_thighs Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 If not....ring the nearest sub dealer and they can find it for you. That's what I had to do. As long as it's not been changed! Sent from my Galaxy S 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
