Finally after an agonising wait.......its now sitting on the driveway, after putting approx 80 miles on the clock today

Look and sounds fantastic even without it 'run in' yet!

It has slowed traffic on the roads, had people taking pics of the car while I was driving....all I can say is WOW!!!

Hope all those who picked up theirs have had as much fun as I have today

Some more pics of it with number plate at: http://community.webshots.com/user/mansonaalf

Nick,

Saw you go pass mine this morning in your Tam with the hood off & missed you as you drove off...the Tuscan hadn't been woken up at that time so was still tucked away in the garage.

I've sent you a mail with me contact details....

Hey Gary...yes that was me!

As it was a nice day I thought I'd go up round Sudbury way through the country roads etc.

I was not as brave as you though, I kept the hood on but had the back window out...sound was amazing with it out.

Sorry didn't notice you...otherwise I would have flashed you. I did get a flash from a new Ferrari though...respect indeed

Alan.

Yes the amount of attention over the weekend was incredible.

Even though I'm running it in at no more than 3500 revs its still shifts...though you can tell there's a hell load more under your right foot just waiting for me to opened it up

Yeah as you walk around the car it changes colour from purple to red to orange to gold to yellow, its not over the top though as its very subtle.

But as you say...you will get a closer look on Sunday...hope the weather holds out again!

Alan.
