So here are the initial pictures, just collected from HR Owen St Albans and they have done a fantastic job preparing the car for me, it is totally unblemished and awaiting a few of my subtle modifications. Carbon fibre everywhere, fantastic... Took me 2 hours and a tank of Vpower to make the 1.3 mile trip home biggrinbiggrin

Might be the honeymoon period still but honestly It seems a LOT more fun to drive than the Gallardo... constantly playing with me smile

Trax - this was on the way back from the dealers and while taking a photo so I was taking it very easy!

So it was you in Hemel by the Magic Roundabout just after 2? Made a very nice noise going up the hill towards tesco, even heard the lift off for speed camera :P Thought it was the local red one... Enjoy Matt, hope to see you the next time (assuming it was you!)
