Picked it up! A bit sad leaving my old car but I'm tough and will push through the pain...

Just the one for now, need to put all my crap inside and go and fuel the new toy :smiley:

Looks great, very sharp, you can see it;s not flat white.

I was a bit put out when I sold my PP for the CS, it does take a little of the shine off of the exuberance you should feel collecting a new toy.

The PP is most likely the better daily driver. That may become apparent?

The difference is when you want to have fun, I am sure the new car will deliver over and above the PP, yet can behave when required.

Have fun!

Looks stunning Watts, love the colour contrast! Enjoy the familiarisation process and look forward to a detailed summary and comparison at a later date.

Thanks everybody :smiley: Very pleased with it but early days as to getting to grips with the gearbox. For now I'm just keeping it simple, will spend sometime tomorrow sorting out the little personalisation bits and bobs.

@Watts; It looks great :cool:. Hope you have many miles of enjoyable driving.

You need change your signature pic now as part of the therapy to help you get over the loss of three doors and Tornado Red :whistle:.

Makes sense...... As we lose one, I've just added a Tornado 3 door sig pic to restore the balance! :)

Yep; that looks really sharp. I passed (it was parked  :smiley: ) a white one this weekend and thought it looked much nicer in the metal than I thought a white one would. Nicer than any R I've seen that's for sure....
