I'll try to do photos tomorrow, along with a Clyde Tunnel soundtrack. Had a bit of a glitch today when the dashboard lit up with "SLOW DOWN" - I was doing 20mph over cobbles! Then the engine management came on. Aaaaaargh. But I reset the ECU and it's all fine, sounds fine, and is simply wonderful.

Hope you got a warranty
I know Mark. There've been a few on here who wanted to do it. I am lucky in a variety of ways (and many of which I won't discuss here). I got it from www.topgear-cars.co.uk - the car is actually still on their site, minus the price.

I don't think it will depreciate any more (than about £10k over 2 years) and with those options I do believe that my friend who runs the "dealership" has found me a superb example.

Will keep you up to date on how it goes. other than "quickly"....

430 asking prices look to have gone up a touch from 1 year ago. Its such a step on from the 360, I think it will do well price wise.

Nothing to do with business Mark, to be honest. Amalgamation of a couple of other things that have been going on, but I don't want to go into detail on here...

It's so long since I've been on here I don't know how to use it any more! I'm glad your secret is (mostly) out though.
