Well done that man. I might be wrong, but you don't see many in that colour. Round here at least.

Did the dealer apply a protective coating to the car for you?

its a thing of beauty my friend.
seriously nice looking car. well done sir.
Thank you, I am a very lucky boy smile
NEVER SAY THAT !
Just re-read my reply which I think sounded harsh and that wasn't the intention.

My reasoning was that I used to say that as a reply to people about cars I've had until one day a guy said NEVER SAY THAT and I asked why.
He went on to ask me if it was luck or because I won the lottery or because I aspired, worked and then saved for it, to which I replied the latter.

Truth is, its easy for people to say its luck but thats a huge rarity, things like these usually come from hard work and the willingness to have things you only dreamed of as a child.

Spout over smile

I did wonder.

Actually, not lucky in the way people think, I am lucky with Wallet Watcher, she fully supports everything I do, which entails lots of petrol type events, racing, more racing and then I go after this. She is unbelievably understanding, I'm a lucky boy in that respect.

We are like brothers from another mother my friend smile
My wife is the same, she allows me (that sounds bad actually) to do as I please and as long as I spend time with her and the kids she is happy.
Thats the true richness that sits behind the acquisitions and toys we look for.

They are subtle, right up to the point they pin you in the seat :-)

Have you got Doris V2? Just had mine done and it is miles better! Be brilliant when the UK gets decent 3G!

Does that refer to the new nav update?

Mine is having Android installed on Monday, looking forward to the detailed update I'll be able to give (a new post on it for sure).

Yes. The original "Iris" unit wasn't the best, the new unit is excellent!
Are any of you guys going anywhere on Sunday? ;-)

See if they will give you the latest software update. I don't know of any UK dealers doing this but there is a 45hp upgrade available.

There are software upgrades available to dealers although as I said I'm not sure of any in the UK but they are definitely available in the USA and other countries.
I write software for a living and was in Philidelphia at xmas working on a McLaren and we had a car in with a factory upgrade that put our a further 40hp on the 45hp update the dealer flashed.
