I'm embarrassed by the fact that it's got 4000 miles on it and that it's got a hardtop

Nope, he should have stuck with the old colour



Aaaaah, so that's what I'm meant to do with the hardtop thing that ti comes with

It does look very nice in red... but it wouldn't have been a big enough change!

Only thing I miss Rob is the full pimp red interior. You made a great choice.

(Jesus, but it's black in the cabin!)

Rob, I think LHD would have been a good thing for those dodgy overtakes into oncoming traffic on the way to Le Mans (plus the power of the vette would also be nice to help out on those long straights)
It needs that much power because it's an autospastic gearbox. Stick to manual gearbox and ability to red-line at 9000rpm

Now you've gone for a good colour Rob (have to admit black with half pimp could be mynext choice) how are you going to keep it clean enough?

That's my only concern with black.

That's one hell of an "impulse buy". Congrats on joining the 04 club and the select group who have now owned two Ss.
