Congrats on getting a timely sale on the A1 Steve.

And Ian, what do you mean you've been thinking about (yet another) new car order recently - when are you not thinking about getting (yet another) new car???  :lipsrsealed: :grin: :grin:

It's only a matter of time, the countdown has begun
A different spec R?

Sounds silly to do so.....but yea.
Tbh there's no other cars out ATM that even remotely tempts me!!

What spec?  Doesn't really matter what wheels it comes with though.  :whistle:

Took the R out to Bedford Autodrome yesterday and it went rather well, as someone said nice to see one actually being driven

R was sublime except for the pads (fast road) taking a hammering and needing to be changed due to the number of 100+ sections

It's good to see an R being used to its full potential.

Great to really stretch its legs and find out where its good and no so good, fast sweeping bends it loves, the tight stuff its is defiantly slow in fast out sort of car

Took my car into the dealers on Monday for various warranty work.
Had a service desk employee walk round it with me who thankfully was into a bit of detailing himself and was impressed with the shine from a white car. Asking what equipment gear I use etc as he's never had his white car look that good.
So I left with a good feeling it will be looked after.

Lying in bed last night and had a "Oh sh!t" moment. I've left the tuning box in it  :undecided:

Its all physical stuff required for the warranty and no need to pop the bonnet but what a fud I am  :laugh:
