WOW, they are some moody clouds.

The car looks like its got a matte finish with that style of photo, which highlights the pearl finish, especially on the rear wheel arch in the first photo.

It was nice to get that done in a couple weeks, noticed it had reached the milestone in the car park at work, I left early today!! :ROFLMAO:

There once was a car named Bert,
Who's rear end was really quite pert.
He passed his first thousand miles,
His owner full of smiles,
And he gave the accelerator a squirt.

Yes I may have started drinking early tonight

Thank you for that Sir!! Most humorous indeed!!
If your trying to soften Bert up for a sweetie......:unsure::ROFLMAO:
 
Bert has been with me 6 weeks today and we have covered 2900 miles together now, the majority of that on dreadful B roads where I live and a couple of longer runs to get the engine break in done.
The big plastic bit on the front has taken quite a few stone chips!! But Im quite pragmatic about this, PPF was silly money local to me, and as a daily, I need it....daily and cant find the time for someone to have it sat while they are working on someone else's car!! and to get that resprayed in a couple of years is way cheaper, I bought it to drive and not for the next owner!!
I see there are a few niggles about cabin quality, it's the best cabin Ive ever owned!! :ROFLMAO:
It drives superbly to me, love the suspension set up even on the grotty roads I course daily, 70 mph corners that I used to take in my MX5 are gradually increasing in pace on dry days as confidence and self preservation dictate.
Engine is getting better and better as the miles go on, have the rev blip thingy set to 6300 so can hang onto a gear if needed and means Im changing by 7000 latest which there isnt much left after that!!
I will run it with full winter tyres come the grotty time of year having done so for the last 8 winters on my MX5, it will definitely need them with the torque coming in so low and quite aggressively, obviously I will drive to the tyre that I have on come the warmer winter days, which can be very fun with a less grippy tyre from my experience!!
For 31K and a Maccy D's in change this car is fantastic...I hope those that haven't received theirs yet get them soon, and those that have them are driving them and enjoying them.
