The postie dropped off this morning a box containing a rather pretty lump of metal with my name, VIN number etc engraved into it. Apparently it's called a pylon, but then I imagine you already knew that.

Either way, I like it. It's heavy and tactile, and adds to the sense of the purchase being a special occasion.

The end.

Took a lot longer for mine to arrive, didn't realise it was called a pylon. I appreciate it, but would have preferred something a bit more practical smile When I collected the car I was presented with a trainer size box. I excitedly opened it expecting a pair of Porsche trainers to find two bottles of wine.

Yeh, that's all well and good, but what does it actually sound like when you use it for that purpose ? I'd wager it's not as good as when you use the version from the six pot car .... tongue out
