Been 4 years since I was this excited (when I bought my Chimaera!!!)

Well done that manbiggrin
A few sleepless nights ahead now then, you will be counting the hours. There is no feeling quite like the buzz you get when you have just purchased a new carwoohoo

It is a stunner of a motor. Love the interior.

Hope it brings you as much joy as mine did to me smile

Hiya Steve,
I did originally want a C as I prefer the cleaner roof line but this one was just so right in every other department. Plus the targas suit the colour.

Much catch up soon...

Thanks guys - It's fantastic. Just so much quicker than the chim and when you hit 4000rpm all hell breaks loose.....

Couple of small things to be sorted. I get an error code 131 (fuel sensor) and also the handbrake light on the dash keeps flickering on especially over bumpy ground.

Bit more wind noise than I thought from the windows - guessing thats from the gap between the glass and the windscreen frame?

Filling with fuel is a b!tch. Already put a couple of gallons of Shells finest down the side smile

Oil temp I struggle to get over 65 on the move and 70 at idle so guessing more likely to be the sensor as oil must be up to temp based on time running.

Water temp is about 95 so much hotter than the Chim ran at though I believe this is normal?

Other than that first impressions are that I love it!!!
