Thanks guys, I really, really, really love it. It does everything I could want from a car. I still can't believe it's mine, this one will be staying for a long time.

Having been through that process 6mths ago I really do know exactly how you feel. For the first few weeks especially when you're sat behind the wheel you think "really? this is mine? :numberone:". I must say it is a car that catches the eye of many people / non-petrolheads...and noticeably the female of the species. I think its the classy understated aspect to it, the curves, the noise......

My only comment is that those that are saying its the ideal colour combination - NO ITS NOT! RED INTERIOR IS THE WAY TO GO!!!

No, the best combination is Grigio Alfieri with black alcantara interior. :smile: Otherwise I agree with everything you say. Especially the part about women liking the car. In fact, I don't get a bloody look in. Some things don't change much, I suppose. *sigh*

Wife drove it once, scraped a wheel within 50 yrds and hasn't driven it since - through her choice, not mine! But general women I know - and one or two I don't - have been v. complimentary (and about the car :mock8:)

nice one :) like the yellow calipers as well.. next job is the x pipe and spacers to bring the wheels out to the arches. Its bugged me that the wheels always look sunken into the car.

It does look like the wheels could be further out, maybe they built it to take 9" or 10" deep wheels, you never know..!!
