14 days and counting.....

I said I'd never do it as the car is perfect as it is, but I was in the right place at the right time to drop on a TVS2300 install by Walkinshaw. I just couldn't say no, so it's booked in a week on Monday for me to collect on Fri 25th - all being well

Bring on the super banana!!

Yes it is, after EVO mag red line'd it around a track no less, but what the heck I'll only be doing the same

Sounds great Paul. I saw the Tourer being deconstructed at WP when I was up there with Ians GTS.

Your gain, new owner of the blue Tourers loss

It's a flagship car, it needed to be done.


Well done.

Ooh, blue tourer for sale soon then..
That suggests its worth more stock than with blower. Which is of course correct.

Be interesting to see what the estate lists at £39k?

I reckon a dealer will have it up for £42k - even though it's R8 spec.

It's never a problem going back on your word if the outcome is going to make you happy.........Very happy..........You made the right choice and it's going to fly Paul. Well done.

That's a shame I was kind of waiting for it to become available.

Me too - I've really warmed to it. I know I would never have paid the premium it's "only one in Europe" -ness probably demands though.

Not sure if you have inside info, but the official line from Dougie today was that it's still in the process of being removed from the fleet, and then it will be sold to the highest bidder out of the 6 VXR8 dealers.

Maybe there's still hope for those on here that are interested?
