Is that a nice big garage you are building for your GORGEOUS new car?

Yep ... was supposed to be finished before the car came ... but cest la vie. Originally had two single doors but would have been rather tight getting the V6 in. Have brought the front of the garage forward 90cm and have just ordered the new 4.1m wide insulated aluminum roller door with integral motor. How sad am I getting excited about a garage
;)

Thanks for the drive Andy, fantastic car. The colour looks even more stunnining in the flesh. You have to love the sound too, even below 4k.

Im now going to be spending the afternoon working out how i can afford one :p. Could take a long time.....

Seconded! Thanks for the drive Andy, it really is gorgeous, and the sound of that engine is FANTASTIC.

Nik, shall we go halves on one!? :p
 


The V6 really does look cool when its clean like that. Problem is mines a mucky little pup. Gets cleaned every time I take it out, but the tails always covered in muck. AAGGGHHHH!!!!! Gorgeous stuff mate, hope you continue to enjoy it as much as Im enjoying mine.

Yep agree with it getting filthy. Hasnt rained yet ... but the tail end is already picking up crap ... residual salt off the roads :( Wheels are suffering from the tyre black the dealers valet put on. Its my daily drive tho ... and missus has never been particularly tolerant of me spending hours cleaning my car ... so will have to wait a while before getting cleaned.

Oh well ... at least I get to try out the automatic windscreen wipers :( Weather forecast said rain around 3:00, and at 3:05 it came. Time to slow down a bit too, since its been lovely and dry since I got it and Ive been testing the limits a bit.

LOL ... how VERY VERY VERY weird!! Isnt me ... tho I do of course have the look of a weather forecaster about me ... blonde, good figure, pert bosom ... crap jumpers and a beard.

Reality is that Ive taken to reading the 5-day forecast every day to see if anything is going to slow down my builders again!

nice Andy, cant to front-end closeups on mine owing to a winters worth of stonechips :(

Even at a week old Im beginning to discover the small imperfections and scratches. At some time somebody ... not me as far as I know ... has scratched the (massively wide) door sill a bit along the edge. A few other small scratches around and about. The stresses of new car ownership ... never stays perfect for long :cry:
