'Hi love, I found a whale p***s on the internet, can you help me buy it?' She might into that sort of thing? Has she read 50 shades of grey too?

Sorry, my pic broken, one from google to show you the speedo digits Needless to say, no wood in my car

iVTEC, basically, is VTEC & VVC combined..... So, yes, but not like you'd feel it in a B or K series engine.

Punches you in the head a 2k rpm! Not what you'd expect from a grandad wagon!

Not Vid of the EP3 James, yet anyway.... This is vid is bit blurry, as didn't really have time to sort camera focus.... BUT. 3rd gear, 30 mph, see if you can spot where I stop cruising and stand on throttle. (sorry, window was open a bit!) Just for clarity, these are the numbers on the dials: Now, the video.... I would like an apology per user, per old man comment please! Watch the WHACK of power 2-3 1/2k rpm! aiiAMEXBGkg As I said earlier....... just whooooooooosh. No Drama, or nonsense, just a big fat handful of whoosh.

with the distintive diesel clatter which will alway remind you that your driving a diesel.......... Clearly sir, you've never heard the 2.7 v6 diesel. At worst, it sounds like a Honda needing valve clearance setting. Quite literally, if you didn't know it was derv, you wouldnt be able to tell! Hmmmm video required I think!

Wrong wrong wrong James. Start engine, move funny lever into the 'D' thing, press the 'Sport' button. Press accelerator pedal. The only thing I have to watch, is all the cars I pass. No gears, it's an oldsmobile, so it goes more like 1500rpm----------4000rpm (Powerband all the way to redline now!) 2000rpm----------4000rpm Whooooooosh 2000rpm----------4000rpm More Whooooooosh 2000rpm----------4000rpm More Whooooooosh 2000rpm----------4000rpm More Whooooooosh 2000rpm----------4000rpm More Whooooooosh Oops.... Sorry ocifer. Didn't realise..... 0-150 without thinking of a geartick. It's the way forward i tell ya!

Oh, and apparently it's still in learn mode, so that may go up over the next week!!!!

Old fart.... with 540nm torques now Remapped yesterday, and OM,MFG, it's quick. I'd go as far as saying, in a straight line, I'd be hard pushed to get past it in the EP3! New figures from my 3 hour remap session..... 266bhp and 540nm torques...... That's 60BHP over standard, and all from a map, an aggresssive map yes, but still...... DAMN quick!

looks much more aggressive than a standard one. No comparison to drive to the EP3 though, couldn't get more different! Nice motor though!

Sneak Preview... Not got proper pics to put up yet... And... Codename, is now.... Wyart. Private plate was included, and I can't make any sense of what it's supposed to say, so YRRRRART

Love it mate. Someone with more braces than me When you gonna get some Wing Stiffening Braces then?

mwah ha ha ha ha It is a bit quick! Nothing like a EP3 but very refined speed

And, cheaper than all the other cars guessed I'm paying £7k. 57 plate car, done 60k. Put that into equivalent Audi / Beemer spec and it's £14-£18k!

oh, and on a private plate. Should have been standard on these

57 plate (last off the production line) S-Type 'XS' Sport model. Clearly the XS stands for the Xsessive spec. I can imagine the conversation now in the factory. " Bollocks boys, we've got all these gadgets left over that nobody bought." "Sod it, lets chuck them all in" So, this is it (not the exact car, as it's no longer on autotrader!) But, identical 206BHP & 435nm Torques, with 6 gear mega smooth auto makes it respectably quick... It's had a minor remap too 247bhp, 520nm toques whoop! AND 50mpg! Normal S-Type, check away the chrome gash garnish, lower it, stiffen it, and whack a body kit on! Basically it's the same kit and handling pack as the 4.2 V8 Supercharged "R", but with a diesel lump. Interior is nothing short of devine! The dash is italian soft leather coated, as is the centre console. Side on... Full Touch Screen, Navigation, Bluetooth and DVD Player..... You can see the Leather coatings in this pic too The spec list is IMMENSE! From the mega plush leather, seats dash and all... Touch Screen nav & DVD (£2400 OPTION!) Full dual control heated seats ACTIVE cruise (Radar guided stuff!) Active suspension and active ARB's, so it's NOT a boat, feels quite sharp to be fair to it! Parking goodies to tell you when the ridiculous boot is about to smash something (you wouldn't want to damage your golf clubs after all!) Electric Memory Seats. Each key holds it's own memory position, so as you unlock the car, it puts the seats and mirrors back to where they should be lol. As you turn off the ignition, the seats recline to the floor, and the steering wheel lifts up and back, to give the fat men room to get out! the list goes on.... and on... and on! Pure Luxury. And, You'd all be offended if I told you it is costing me well, around £20 a month Basically, to buy it, insure and fuel it costs me £20 a month more than JUST the fuel cost of the EP3! Obviously, the EP3 is staying, it's got too much of my blood and sweat in it to be insulted by Part exchange prices! This is SERIOUSLY the uncoolest car I have ever even thought about buying. But I like it. I don't know why I like it, but it's wicked! Anyway, totally away from anything I would ever even consider, but, 241bhp and 50 MPG, in luxury, it'd be rude not to!!!!

Yup. I've been fighting it for over a month now. I REALLY REALLY REALLY shouldn't like it, but I do. Not an XF though, the Mrs put a kosh on me spending that much! So, I bought.......

Does this help....

No to Accord, No to Range Rover.

Imagine an EP3. Now think, opposite in EVERY POSSIBLE way! lol

nope....

nope.

lol. Nope.

lol, nope.

Nope.
