After waiting 3 months for delivery (bought the car on 16feb) I finally picked up my yellow rt10 yesterday. Worked through the night to do all the IVA stuff and passed the test this morning (many thanks to BAZ for all the help and answers over the phone, I owe you more than a beersmile), hopefully Monday can go to the DVLA to register it.
Gosh if I only knew how much fun it is to drive one...don't get me wrong, I have a 500bhp supercharged mustang and 520bhp supercharged z3mcoupe but what a beast this thing is. Simply loving the kick when you mash the throttle...mine has 3" exhaust and sounds so lovely, also the induction noise of the smooth tubes and filters...I had the biggest grin this morning and gotta say I haven't had that much fun driving in a while. Snake bitten for sure smile will upload pics a bit later

Yup, it's very clean car, 2 owners, 28k on the clock, full history, carfax clean. Not a single drop of oil underneath and very tidy paintwork and interior.
The brakes are a bit sketchy compared to my other cars but will either put the 16in 6pot kit I bought 2 months ago (but will have to source some 20in rims and I prefer to stick to the 18s + toyo888) or will swap over the 14in stoptechs from my mustang...but for the moment just want to drive and enjoy it...anyway I have big plans for the engine over the winter so there will be plenty of time to sort out the brakes, sound etc smile
