Nice! Thanks

Thanks in advance

Just cant wait!

I know its bit anal - but my winter pass time - I'm looking forward to being in the garage, listening to the rain tippling on the roof, music on, maybe a cool one in hand - polishing the exhaust by hand!

If not when is the collection date??

I look forward to your first feelings from driving it. Well done
