Not sure what needs sorting.....? The deal was ok, and as for the other handover stuff I'd rather have some ££ off the price!
The only thing I'll miss is the track day, but as I'm using it as my everyday car I will have the M25 at 2am to play with occsionally. Plus all the lanes around where my sound gear lives.... :wink:

Landing fee?

I don't feel that stressed about collecting the R8 to be honest, I just want to start enjoying it!
I'm more stressed at going all the way to Australia for 3 shows.... That's just barking!

Are you in a chopper or fixed wing?

Famous? No.. that's the problem!! I'm crew not 'artiste' unfortunately. Still, it should be fun once we're there. Can't complain too hard about being paid to fly around the planet really.

To be honest they're not that famous anywhere really! We can sell out the Heineken Hall in Amsterdam though, 5500 capacity.
I'll fill you in with details on May 11th...... Depending on what you listen to, it could be a short conversation!

Sort of.... More loading artics at 2am than aftershow parties though. The joys of being the soundguy.....
I'm looking forward to parking my R8 next to the singer's Toyota Corolla at the next London show!
