Nah don't worry about it doesn't bother me in the slightest. Hopefully another potential owner can take on the baton with this thread and document their search... ideally it won't take them the 4 years it took me to grow a decent set of balls and get one.

8 years and counting and still not sure my testicles are large enough. In reality, probably no worse than my Aston in running costs with one £750 service and the rest all being £2.5-£4k.

I'm definitely 100% going to get one later this year after just 8 months of thinking about it. Probably. biggrin

I'm almost a year into owning my first G and, so far at least it's been about what I expected.
This year's bill was £3500 but that included a major service and a long list of little things that I wanted addressed in order to improve the car.

I've also currently got an inoperable roof as one of the catches has stuck fast and cannot be released so we're waiting on a replacement part from Italy - I believe that to be a £450 job, so likely costs of £4k total this year, next year will be just a small annual (theoretically) though I always budget £3.5 - £4k just in case.

Thats not bad at all if that is a bad year and evens out next year. Of course, that depends on how much your "tidy up" items extend.
