At last! I pick up my 4.5L, red Chim, tonight.

I promise to look after her, maintain her, not to drive her too fast (except on disused air strips), and keep her shiney side up.

I would like to thank everybody here who gave their help and advise cheers!

I'm surprised you can use a keyboard - you must be that excited! I was absolutely beside myself as the moment of collection got close. Give yourself a chance to get used to controlling the awesome power before you go down that disused runway . Smooth and gentle application of the loud pedal is the path to enjoyment and clean underwear! Post piccies soon! Good luck

Couldn't have picked a better time with a weekend of good top off weather to enjoy those Derbyshire roads and dodge the tourists.

PS where in N Derbyshire are you? Me and my Chim reside in Hatehrsage.

Picked up my 4.5 Chim this morning. Fantastic. Hugely different to the S3 (my wife reckons it's properly comfortable and hasn't complained once of a bad back after a 2 hour drive this afternoon!), but great fun. And the sun's shining - quite amazing!

Have yet to press the loud pedal all the way down, but the sound is awesome even at half throttle!

Ntel, I was really sorry to see her go . I really hope you enjoy her as much as I did! Maybe see you around?

I really need a new PH name now!
