I friggin' love my MV6
« on: 29 July 2010, 17:51:51 »
After a few days in a 3.2 Elite, I have to say, I friggin' love my MV6.

Its quick when you're in a hurry (MV6 v Lambo on way home), it does corners well, and it stops well (when a prat in a lorry pulls in outside lane despite me bearing down on him at probably well over 2.5 times his speed  >:()


I do love my MV6 :D

It was at the time (as were the brake discs once I got home). I expect so much better from 'professional' drivers  >:(

Great news - satisfaction with anything is a tonic to most ills 8-) :y :y

Hope you have a long, enjoyable association with the MV6 :y

The new one does handle better though....should be better still with new rear bushes and the geometry done  :y

The leather I am ok with....the rest of the family arnt so sure,
I am big and well planted in my seat.  She slides a bit, and the kids seat rock a bit through corners......but they have just been conditioned.

Snap! :D I do love the fact that I can cruise around on the motorway for over 200 miles and then still be able to have a mad 5 mins around the back roads. It does well for a barge (but the mk1 does eat it alive round the bends). It's currently on 124k and it's still lovely and smooth  :y

The key to it is to get the Elite to the same level as the MV6, ditch the self levelling and go for a more sporty suspension (as discussed on here many times), get Tony to work his magic on the geometry and possibly look at replacing the Elite seats with MV6 ones to hold your frame in place.... or maybe even have a word with Sassanach and get the best of both worlds  :y

Oh and you'll grow to love the peeling rubber coating on the door handles etc.... honest  ::) ;D
