Thanks for all of your welcome messages! I will of course post some photos when it stops raining long enough to wash and get my camera on it. I take encouragement from all of your enthusiasm!
Thanks for the update re the iPod connector, I'll just have to steal one of the children's iPods for music and charge the phone from the lighter.
I would love to join the Leeds SuperCar meet but I am actually on the Berks/Wilts border. Finding a low mileage GTS limited my choice to Leeds, Aberdeen and the Chester such seems to be their rarity.
The spec sheets published by Andyk were very helpful but there seems to be an omission around the Sat Nav option. Mine has a Bose head unit, whilst others a Marelli, which was standard. The standard spec is very high compared to German cars though my Nero Carbonio car's original buyer seemed to find over 10k of extras to add! I am not normally bothered for sun roofs but this one doesn't cause much buffeting and allows more of the glorious exhaust music into the car!
Roll on some dry weather and I'll take some photos.
