Yesterday....

[Clarkable]

I ordered an R500. Roll on March 2012.

That is all.

[downsman]

Should be nicely run in for the summer

[grenpayne]

Oh no, that is not all I'm afraid

Colour, options etc. How did you spec it?

[Clarkable]

Well, I don't have to finalise the spec until it goes into production so plenty of time to make my mind up!

[Clarkable]

These are the options ticked thus far:

Full screen + weather equipment + aero screen
Tonneau cover
Side screen armrests
Lowered floors
Trackday rollover bar
Battery Master switch
Track day carbon fibre induction airbox
Flat floor set up
Tailored pedal box set up
Track day exhaust kit
Cat bypass pipe
Paint
Superlight decal kit

Thanks, well it sure looks like my old R500 is up for sale.

To be fair the guy in Edinburgh who bought it at the end of the year did only plan to use it for the summer!!

Oh well looks like its still holding its value!!

[mickrick]

Don't forget to spec the 13" wheels.
ETA I see they come as standard now.

Nige, the owner didn't have that long!

Agreed Chris, perhaps he also found the Sequential Box a tad too noisy for normal road use??

Will be interesting to see if it stays in Scotland or moves back down south of the border too!!

I have also just noticed it seems to have managed to grown into an SV since I last owned it, or more likely the dealer has no idea about these type of cars at all!!

[Clarkable]

It's finally arrived!

Looks good, and nice colour choice too.

Hope the weather does not turn to crap this week, so that you can get to enjoy it too.

Have fun.

Nige.

[NBC1]

looking very nice!!
Enjoy

[Davel]

Love the colour!

Enjoy!

[grenpayne]

Very nice, love roulette green!

[VHPD]

Not a bit jealous

Nice one Clarkable

[Clarkable]

Thanks guys I'm over the moon with it and looking forward to the summer months.

I wasn't sure about the colour but it seems to get a positive reaction wherever I go. I'm still a little envious of Nigel's F1 colour scheme.

Don't be jealous buddy, your colour was one of my alternative colour choices!

Out of interest what number is your car?

You must let stu have some pictures to put on the register site too.

Have a great time bonding with your new toy, it's a special time indeed!
