Lesworth Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Just got this baby home from a stonking 3 hour drive: Must say the manly 915 took some getting used too but its a pleasure once you understand its foibles. Great sound from the standard exhaust set up too, musg more 'classic sounding than my 3.2 with H&S. I have missed that sound and wont be going down that route again. 237 sleeps til Le Mans Bugatti '10 - woo hoo!
REX Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Tres bon Lesmonde, looks wicked love the pasha trim and the short plate. How does the drive compare to the 3.2 other than the 'box? Le Mans here we come
Aldo Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Very nice. Looks super clean and what a great day to be picking a car up.
GaryH Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 (edited) Les, you hero ! I knew that last stint at Bugatti Le Mans this year would see you turn to the dark side of coupes Get some SSIs on that baby asap '82 204 bhp I'm assuming from the X plate ? Edited October 5, 2009 by GaryH
mean in green Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 That looks uber clean Les - you must be chuffed to bits?!
Nige Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 well done Les, looks great. What MPG are you getting?
Northy Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Top man Les! That looks bloody lovely, well done!
ZAMIRZ Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Wow, that is niiiiice. Congrats and welcome to the SC crew
Dick Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Nice one Les, look forward to seeing it parked next to me in the station car park soon?? Rich
Von Twinzig Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Nice one Les. Where am I sending the lenses now, you or them?
jevvy Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 I go away for a week and Les buys a coupe - whats the world coming to? Looks great Les, le mans next year?
Lesworth Posted October 5, 2009 Author Posted October 5, 2009 Thanks all. Le Mans all the way! Going to have it dynoed on 18th to get a benchmark figure and go from there. No big changes just yet as financially challenged just now well done Les, looks great. What MPG are you getting? Not as goos as the Carrera unfortunately, I reckon about 45mpg.... Les, you hero ! I knew that last stint as Bugatti Le Mans this year would see you turn to the dark side of coupes Get some SSIs on that baby asap '82 204 bhp I'm assuming from the X plate ? Yup, 204 (at least I assume so until the Dyno...) Nice one Les, look forward to seeing it parked next to me in the station car park soon?? Rich Errr......no! Luvverly Did you sell the Targa Then ? Kieran Sure did - two IB's wuld be a dream but well beyond my means sadly! Nice one Les. Where am I sending the lenses now, you or them? To me please. Let the red lense go with the Targa - no red lenses going on this baby.
Kieran T Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) Not as good as the Carrera unfortunately, I reckon about 45mpg.... was that motorway ? I've been driving mine like a granny and managed 23 MPG on mixed use I wonder am I missing some MPG? What's a 3.2 MPG like then? Kieran Edited October 5, 2009 by Kieran T
Lesworth Posted October 5, 2009 Author Posted October 5, 2009 was that motorway ?I've been driving mine like a granny and managed 23 MPG on mixed use I wonder am I missing some MPG? What's a 3.2 MPG like then? Kieran Just a little running gag... . Havent driven it enough yet to really find out.
Chris_911 Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 What's a 3.2 MPG like then? Without wishing to start an 'mpg' thread - I see around 30 if I'm doing some decent long runs with a good % of motorway. But more like 25 if I'm just out to enjoy myself.
Tripe Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Average fuel consumption: 911 SC 18 - 25 mpg 3.2 Carrera 25 - 35mpg 3.6 conversions 40+ mpg Mr Perkles's Ark on carbs 7 - 8mpg
GaryH Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Must be about time we started a Pelican style, we own X.X litre cars and we think we're better than everyone else clique ?
Kieran T Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Just a little running gag... . Havent driven it enough yet to really find out. DOH Though I was missing something ....... Average fuel consumption: Mr Perkles's Ark on carbs 7 - 8mpg
