I hope that makes a MASSIVE difference because, well, what a bloody fiddle!

It's not that hard to do, just looks harder than it is.

No, no, it was a really difficult job, I'm such a great mechanic :whistle: :laugh:

What I meant was that it is not that difficult for a gifted professional like you Watts :laugh:

Exactly, it's a gift I have. (You're going to have to big it up a bit once you fit yours....)

Picked mine up today, very happy with it, took the long route home from the dealership.

First every brand new car so looking forward to enjoying it... well at least until the kids get in it!

Already thinking about a clutch stop for it... and then next a pedal box..

Brilliant, I've gone for manual and very glad I did. I can see the appeal of DSG, but manual is just more involved , but still feels refined. Knowing you have the power available when you need it is great.

Glad I went for red. Have already put the seat protectors in the back to protect from 4 year old feet!

I had 2 Michelin PS4S’s fitted to the front of the R today.

I knew they were overdue, approx 18k miles and I could see I was down to the markers, but for various reasons I had it on the long finger. I got some fright when the fitter removed the front driver side wheel. The inside shoulder of the tyre had some of the wires visible. Shameful on my part  :sick: All good now anyway.
