Got My Car
 

Finally got it this morning - see picture below.

I think red looks good even in dull light, but I am keen to see what it looks like in sunlight. I got a tantalising glimpse of it today - about ten seconds of hazy sunshine that definitely started to bring out the gold flecks in the paintwork. Interestingly, you can also see the gold a little at night under artificial light.

I'm still getting used to the car of course but a couple of initial observations:

Digital speedo - I really like this. It's large and clear and actually makes it much easier to crawl past speed cameras at the correct speed.

Steering - superb. The car is even more agile and darty than my 4-wheel steer Prelude but the steering feel is much better. It weights up nicely at speed which makes it feel really stable at motorway speeds. And I'm rediscovering just how much nicer it is not to put the power through the same wheels you're steering with.

Well I don't seem to be able to attach a picture. Is there anything special I have to do? Presumably it should appear in the preview if it successful?

Chris - jump over to the owners forum - now that you have it.

Make sure the picture isn't too big. I think we have a 100k limit per picture. (not attached one for a while so it may have changed)

...well I can see it in the avatar - looks nice! well done!

The car look almost like a Ferrari in his avatar! What good taste we all have! :D
