Great stuff not far behind you, I'm set for thurs. Are you going to post on new arrivals? Pretty cool of the salesman to send you the vid, very thoughtful and those sort of details make all the difference.

Looks good!

This weekend I aim to get the car cleaned and sealed.
Replace the cornering bulbs with Orsam Night Breaker Unlimited
Replace the reverse lights with LED's
Replace the front indicators with LED's (and test to see if suitable)
Replace the vanity lights, glovebox and boot lights with LED's

Images are fine, even cooler than the vid a choc car! What a super experience you've had not heard of one better, what's it like to drive?

its hard to explain it...it just feels so good. its not a jarring ride but is so flat in cornering I don't know how they do it (mines a nine DCC) my wife didn't get a test drive (she had the wrong show on apparently!)  but she is smitten as well.

I think the beauty of it is you can bimble along like miss daisy and it behaves impeccably, no jerking or feeling like you need to swap gears constantly. But when you want to go...it will go for as long as you are willing to risk your licence!

quality of the interior is something I have not experienced before coming from a skoda and then an alfa...it really feels like you are somewhere very nice indeed..and the interior lighting at night..its something else!

Ok so your manual too, ditto 3dr most are 5dr if you can get away with the loss of practicality 3dr looks miles better :)
