Thanks all ... will get some interior shots shortly and put them up.

Initial impressions are, frankly, that I'm over the moon! I've not driven a road car that communicates with you this much. It really is deeply impressive. A car that you can take a long time to get to know - it is talking to you ALL the time.

Ride is in the "firm" camp, which takes some concentration over some of the "surface irregularities" they call roads round my neck of the woods, but then when you get something a bit smoother the payback comes in bucketloads. And the brakes are incredible.

Also, everything works, aircon, even windscreen wipers do what they are meant to do (I used to own TVRs). Nothing has fallen off or developed a worrying rattle.

Engine note is something I thought I'd be disappointed with , but not at all. Especially as it takes on a distinct hard edged character above 5000rpm

I took it briefly and gingerly round Donington last weekend - coming from front and mid engined cars I know the main thing is to get used to having the engine in the rear, you can feel it moving around when turning in. Relishing learning to drive it really quickly over time!
