Billy,

I saw who built your car and he didn't want to be in the photo's! Any problems and I'll point him out for you

Are you collecting it from the factory?

Only 4.5 hours to go...

Mines due in 4 weeks or so.

Went to the 'Fest and saw your car - very nice Chris. Looked for you but you were nowhere to be seen. Checked very carefully in the Bar tent as well, astonished you wern't in there...

Was only there for a few hours on Sunday PM.

Nice one Billy, I'm having a laugh to myself thinking about you zipping around SE England like a loon with your eyes glued to the odometer. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on the 6 sp box and any comparison you can make to the 5 sp (if you can remember what that was like). Have fun!

Billy, is yours metallic green with green/cream leather interior? - I dropped mine off at HROwen for its 1K service yesterday morning and was having a "nose" at it (the valeters were washing/polishing in their little shed). Very nice motor!

I took a pic of an interior with green and cream leather when I was at the factory - maybe it was yours?: http://gallery10890.fotopic.net/show_collection.php?id=28144
