HK53 USP - History?

[SIEN]

Thanks everyone, very excited!

Duncan, yes I think you may have to wait! Not sure whether it will look 'too' stealth with the plans I have but we'll see.

Derek, I have you to thank for taking me over to the dark side

Lets hope it's a GOOD one :thumbs:

Well I went to view it again this morning, and although obviously black shows up every single little mark, it's still in good condition for it's age and mileage and so I signed on the dotted line and am now the proud owner of this 'un :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

Had a very slow drive back following the Mrs so haven't had chance to open it up properly or explore the handling. Pleasantly surprised so far by the gearbox, although auto mode isn't that great. I have lots of reading of the manual to do tonight to get up to speed.

But so far on the 1.3hr drive back it all feels 'tight as a nut' and sounds bloody awesome. Full report to follow with piccies once I get a good go out in it! :beer:

Auto mode? What were you doing using that? :hahaha: :hahaha: Stick to manual shifts!

Glad you're happy with the car - enjoy it - and 'that' noise! :thumbs:

CONGRATULATION :thumbs: I guess it's my turn to buy a CSL now :hahaha: ... No pressure .

Speaking of 'that' noise, I'm viewing Jeff's CSL tomorrow. This beast has Supersprint 100 Cell cats and the NEW model MILTEK back box. That should be interesting to hear :thumbs: :hahaha: :supz:

I can only imagine! If I didn't need to carry around the little 'un every so often I would do the same... but as it stands it's loud enough for me!

And yes, I should be hit in the testes for using auto mode, but still getting used to 'having' to shift, after having an auto 335i that is just as happy at both (and not great at either).

I understand about the little one, but since I still don't have one of those and I'm often accused by my better half for acting like one, I'm going to view Jeff's CSL with an open mind and terrified ears :hahaha: Lets hope I don't lose all of my hearing in one afternoon :hahaha:
