Funnily enough, I did feel a bit like Moses on the motorway this morning... and wasn't even driving aggressively!

WHAT!
Spill.
Guts.
NEOW!

Also, a custard picture next to theMauritius '6 would also be very welcomed.
No matter where you go, there you are.

Kenny was kind enough to let me take it on.
Photo shoot to do either car justice won't be possible for a while, I'm afraid, due to other commitments and the fact that, with 4 steads now, the stable is just too full to shuffle them all around properly.

Teaser for the time being, though:

I hope the fuel economy remains "respectable", seeing as this is likely to be the new daily driver....

On my way home that afternoon (without the car) the radio was playing Paloma Faith's Only Love Can Hurt Like This. I could totally relate to the song!

I wish you many happy miles in the car Nick. I'm sure the car will be up to your usual standard of brilliance once you have time to work on it.

3 times, that's right, 3 times I had to read that before I got it. You kept that quiet Nick! (shock horror). Nice work, now give it hell!

What do you mean, Dunc? Thought I'd "announced it" at 13:46 yesterday (in my usual extravagant way)? :bigblink:

Car is a credit to you, Kenny, and without doubt will be an incredibly hard act to follow.

Relatively short journey this morning (mix of back roads and motorway):Image

That's around the same as the Cupra!! (although probably drive that a little more assertively!).

Nick, what can I say matey :notworthy:

You've grabbed yourself a unique S4 right there. I know you've got a fair few plans for it and that it'll be cherished in your ownership, can't wait to see it and compare notes.

Thanks Jay.
Still intend to start a new thread, Dunc, but that and the plans themselves have had to be put on hold a bit due to a very recent change of circumstances on the job front...
