Congratulations at last Madamoiselle B! :pop: finally the bubbly can be officially opened!!The car looks (as expected) and finally you can see what all the plaudits the R has had lavished upon it are really like. Such a polished performer.If you'd had got a proper gearbox you'd not be risking life and limb prodding at the various settings as your left hand would be too busy! I'd love to see a pic or two of the Amarok and the Golf side by side. Or maybe the Golf would fit underneath the big brute?!! Have you managed to get your detailing gear on the pickup yet? It'd probably take about a week solid to clean all that metal! I'm very much looking forward (along with everyone else) to seeing the R once you've got your woolly mitts and chemicals on it.Congrats to MXResonance too. The GTI looks even better than your last pics, and those tints really finish it off. This will be an interesting project to see where you go with the mods. Thankfully you've both had a nice sunny week to pick the cars up too.
Lovely looking car Rebecca. Well worth the long, tortuous wait.
Congrats Booth! Car looks stunning, those prets certainly go well with DBP! Lovely motor!!

Get those 1,000 miles under your belt asap and start nailing it and enjoy!
I will be on the road this weekend but only because I organised a birthday treat overnight trip to Legoland in Windsor for my daughter. Sod's Law it clashes with my first weekend with the R. So I'll be on the M25 and boring motorway on Sat then again on Sun! Not how I would've planned it but needs must. Detailing will have to wait too! Still, there's always tommorow.

Ah, the M25 - the killer of driving fun, especially with those fixed speed cameras Make sure you take up a couple of spots in the car park - all those kids next to your brand new R - you're a braver person than me taking it there
