cant wait to see it just take it easy and build up the confidence if you take your time just now you will enjoy it more later (and have it longer).As i thought i was a driving god i nearly binned mine in the first 3 weeks , just glad you got one and you can tick it off your list now.

Congrats Scott, didn't take you long
As everyone else has said, take your time getting to know the car, and fingers crossed it's a dry summer! Look forward to seeing the car soon

Congratulations on the purchase
I enjoyed reading the thread and all the technical stuff. Browsing through PH Classifieds regularly (I like doing that!!) I thought that car really looked smart when I first spotted it. Look forward to seeing it in the flesh
