I know you have been looking for a while, so I also
know how happy you must be right now.

Have fun and stay safe!

Jules,

Mixture of jealousy, envy and a sheer smile for you mate.
I was due to pick mine up this weekend, but it has a VERY minor scuff on the front valance, and they had to order the paint in specially.
Only thing that really needed doing before I pick her up, and at least I know the job is being done right.

Anyway .... as you can imagine I am itching to experience the same feeling you describe .... and cannot wait !!!!

Have fun. I'm still in the "honeymoon period" with my 4.2. It's hard to see how any car could be any faster...

Hope the honeymoon last longer than the 1:30 betrween your first and last post . Hope it see it about on the Hants 'days out' .
Ummm...... one of the few cars I think that could tempt me away from the V8S .

Congrats - you will soon wonder why on earth you didn't try them earlier - I know I did!

I think I have finally found my automotive utopia.

Drove her to work today, hehe lots of head turning and envious commuters. The 6 miles i have to travel are normally so boring, not now! anyone local look out for me or listen!! my cerbie is birkdale green with biscuit leather, reg number going on tomorrow J6UJU, nickname of mine JUJU. I live in Peartree and drive along the millbrook bypass to work.

Keeping my eyes open for other ones.

Ps, any tips on how to quickly demist front screen, bit of a bugger this morning as it was hissing it down, and the vents to the screen arent all that good, however the other vents are superb. Tried air con which did help but took 5 minutes but i was at work by then.

So pleased i bought one!!

You may think this is stupid but.....

When you next clean the inside of your windscreen clean it with shaving foam

Honest it works...
