Default 3 hours to go...

... Until I pick up my nice new S2000GT!

And so far the sun is shining in Sheffield... Please god, let it last the weekend...

Downer number 1? I have to go all the way home with the hard top on from the dealer, no open top motoring until I get home and remove it... But then...

It should be all three bars by the time you get there. The dealer will have his 17 yo trainee vtec`in the bitch around the car park in readiness for the new owner OR it`ll be parked on the area where customers drop their old basher Civics off, in readiness for an MOT.

Ouch.

Lovin' it after the weekend, what an awesome car, I wish I knew how to be a better driver now as the thing seems to just own me...

On a downward note, the dealership was crap, the car was in a state (had scratches!!! Supposed to be brand new!) and has a slight ding in the rear bumper (again, why?!? Manufacturing imperfection?). Getting a new bumper fitted on Weds once it's been painted - there's a few slight bits inside on some trim that needs replacing - pretty bad for a new car but I'll see what happens when they sort it. Might have a case for a freebie as a sweetener...

I know its been said before but while you're getting the cosmetics sorted, get them to do the 4 wheel alignment.

Regularly wrong after transportation and can give u some bizarre handling characteristics.

I reckon they'd have no clue what I was talking about... Is there any link to the correct settings mate?
