The delivery driver has most likely driven about 3 miles or so in my undelivered GTD.  :cry:

Well on the first leg of my mini journey today I covered a further 148 miles averaging 42.7mpg which was fantastic. A mixture of mundane and some very enthusiastic driving including a standing launch which was pretty exciting. The car handles brilliantly and around the bends it's an absolute blast, it's just so planted.

The big big downside is the number of rattles that are present :sad: . On any surface that's not 100% smooth there's noises coming from both the passenger and driver door as well as a new rattle from the dash. It's infuriating  :angry: :angry:
