Got my car !!!!

Just picked it up. Very happy indeed.
But I have to work late the rest of the week and all weekend, so I won't get to drive it much for a few days.

Frustrating.

Well done Jim!

Don't forget to put a pic on the Owners Club site.

Cheers

Congratulations - I'm sure you'll find a few excuses to get out in it anyway over the weekend.

Saw a red next to a tit grey last week-end. Dull rainy day and both cars just delivered and not prepared.

Red looked dull whilst tit grey still looked grand. I'm sure in the sun the red will sparkle and look superb but otherwise.......

Joking apart. Good Luck

You obviously haven't seen red at night under any kind of artificial light. My car looked absolutely stunning sat on the garage forecourt when I filled it up the other night. The yellow in the fluorescent lights really brings out the mica.

Nice one jimbobjoe, glad to see another out of Milford!

I think I may have seen yours when I collected mine, does yours have polished strakes?
Looked great (even though it was red)
:D

Happy rotoring.

Quick question to those of you who recently collected out of Milford....

How much notice did you get from Graham before you actually picked it up ...

Just trying to organise finance, insurance etc as mine is due any day

Mine arrived at the dealer 5 days early (on saturday), but they took till today to get it ready as they have a bit of a queue (and staff taking sickies).

So you will probably get 3-5 days notice between the car arriving and being ready.

That was mine. I was unsure about the polished strakes, but they look fantastic. Just need to keep the bugger clean now.
