Just bought a V12V, in Quantum. Picking up Wedesday from Leeds....in the wet....with Corsas. Carefully does it.
Cardiff couldn't source one and when they did...well, we'll leave it there I think.

They had another meteorite grey car in one of their partner dealerships up north, so I had that one instead.
See you around the roads of Cardiff. Hope you are enjoying yours as much as I am mine. No way. Similar thing happened to me with that car, I went to see it, but someone had put a deposit on it before I could. Then it fell through and I was interested in another one, so didn't bother with it. They we negotiated and decided to take it. They are lovely cars, still can't believe I own one. Driving it everyday to work at the moment, which I shouldn't really as I have sensible everyday car. So does that mean you, me, Robbo66, J12MOC are we all in Cardiff area, perhaps we should meet up and drive back and forth through the Bute tunnels for an afternoon! J12MOC's Roadster would be perfect through the tunnels with the top down.

I had a similar approach to working out suitable prices and options etc, but missed out on two cars because of fannying around. In the end I may have paid a bit over the odds for my pride and joy but was happy to be in a car which ticked all of my boxes. I figured that the price I paid would be forgotten after driving the car for a few weeks - and it has been

Probably more important if I had been spending £80k. Maybe next time, now I have had the practice

J12MOC's Roadster would be perfect through the tunnels with the top down. Mine is sitting on the driveway right now as I don't want everyone to know I have one yet. It kills me in the morning having to get in a dirty Cayenne when I have a gleaming Vantage sitting next to it. I shamefully haven't taken it through a tunnel yet. May pop out later to hear what it's like. If you guys get together then let me know as I'm up for it.
