Honestly, you'll love it. I don't want to be out of it as its such a nice place to be. The only problem I have now is a bit like having a small child when you out and about. You never want to leave her unattendedImage separation anxiety!

pics of today -

Got it home and then cleaned it and waxed. ofcourse !

like wow. I felt like a boy racer !! like ive stolen something I shouldn't have !! just better than I remember, very alive and wants to go, having to be very restrained to hold her back. Love the dynamic set up and sports shift . Very comfortable seats and suspension is great (air) The coulr is more purple in some lights but still a strong and vivid blue. Pales the M5 (my friends car) into the obscurity ! Enjoy the pops and crackes although did have to tone it down in town to more normal setting.

Steering feels alert and alive, just need to be careful as it is very responsive under power in pulling out and around slower cars and easy to over do it. Learn and practice.
Throttle response is nice and progressive on all settings apart from dynamic where I found it a much shorter and more immediate response which I like.
Brakes - being very gentle but a lovely feel to the so far, firm feedback and nice bite with what I would naturally expect when driving a fast car.
Suspension - limited miles and not gone down the dirty lanes yet (don't want it too dirty) but my worries over having air and not dynamic are fine. Air is plenty good for me and rides well. Will report more after more miles.
Looks - OMG WoW its popping ! the black wheels so make it. The dark rear windows and trim just add meanness. Will change the plate over to something better when the V5 comes in.
Filled up with petrol - its glowed - Sadly it rained but pleased it was waxed as beading off so nicely.
Inside - so comfy - will need to spend the next few nights working out the controls inside which is all part of the fun of a new car.

Yummy !

Congrats, another beauty!
Yes, change the plate, there are some great options out there and I picked a corker at the weekend (with thinks it's sh*t though).

Unfortunately for me, much of the fun of learning the controls won't be there as it is very similar to the wifes car.

You been taking it easy or gunning it from the get go?

Looks fan-bloody-tastic which is just as well as mine will look nigh on identical when it gets here! :wink: :thumb: :nogarors4:

Like you say, the M5 pales into insignificance beside it. Stunning! Enjoy getting to know your new car.
