Until the Can-Am is back home to roost.

Hopefully it won't be full of water on arrival

Well, she's arrived and is stunning Someone up there must like me too as the weather has turned lovely!

Not much time to play, but managed a quick razz around the local roads. First v.quick impressions are that it's BETTER than the GTR was - much better as a road car... but then again, that's how I intended it. It may not be packing as much hp, but it has WAY more than enough. Performance is breathtaking and the Getrag is a complete joy.

Anyway, there's still some bits and bobs to do (and a bit of a respray), but here's some pics of it:







Can't wait for the weekend (am snowed with work ) - let's hope for some sun!

Pics don't really do the interior justice, but I'm very, very pleased with it

Has the petrol tank overheated due to those side scoops? Pop round if you are in the area.

As I went for a complete colour change from the original gel coat (it was red), the body was painted off the car. Trouble is, it resulted in poor panel match between the bits. It's going to the paintshop next week to sort, then it will be perfect

Pics don't do the colour justice. The pearlescent blue really looks good and isn't dependent on bright sunlight to make it pop.

Blue - fuel tanks nice and cool thanks - well insulated you see
