My new SP10 half way through PDI at Stratstones Cardiff ... yippee !!! bouncewoohoobounce

Sorry for the crap photos will get some better ones when I get it home.

It's going in a covered transporter straight to Francis and Paintshield for detailing and magic film; then delivered to my homes week on Friday. The wait is almost unbearable tongue out but made a little easier as they've lent me the blue vantage again to go to Norfolk this week. Can't fault the customer service!

Martyn, I am sure that it will toodle all the way to Norfolk and back at the usual 45 MPH.

The new one is looking like a proper job.

Martyn, you are a very, very lucky man. Your new one is just fantastic, and your courtesy car is a winner as well. Enjoy.

When Francis has finished it will be very sparkly. Ceramic is a particularly sparkly colour smile

More pictures please! Stunning!

The guys at cardiff have had me thinking of trading up to the SP10 Roadster since last month. Would love to see more pics of the contrast of the hood against the paintwork.

Did you go manual or asm?

It's manual Hash. Can't be doing with these flappy thingies.biggrin

Won't get the car 'till Friday next so no photos yet . The lighter grey roof I really like. It's a nice contrast without distracting from the dark look! (Wait for all the suicide black comments);)tongue out

Mmmmmmmm, Very nice Martyn. Ensure it is run in correctly, that means a minimum of 10 miles to let the oil warm up and then drive it at under 7,000 RPM yesbiggrin.

My regime was the first 1,000 miles at under 4,500 rpm, so the warmth of the oil wasn't an issue as the engine was never driven hard or laboured. Now it has passed that milestone, it gets the full beans, and then I do wait until the oil is warm, although that is usually after 3-5 miles as I am impatient smile

Whilst waiting for the oil to warm up I look out at the bonnet and admire the sparkliness, which you can of course also do as you have a Ceramic Grey sparkly car biggrin

Yes, too many it has to be said. AM seem to have gone from very few Ceramic Grey to the world and his wife having one. I may have to have a Sunburst Yellow re-spray!

I told you at the D&D that some geezer wandered through Gaydon with tins full of the stuff and flogged it to AM & JLR. Every run out RRS Sport is the same as well yes
