Talking Picked Her Up Saturday !

Collected my 8 on saturday.

It' so addictive and sounds amazing. It's a real head turner. Love the interior leather, sat nav etc... so many gadgets to play with.

Must be going now though need to go for another drive

Seems like the e-brake handle would be annoying to you on the same side as the wheel, reaching over it to get to the shifter...

Welcome! I'm new to - 10 day old Velocity Red GT!
Do most RH-drive cars have the ignition key on the left or right of the steering wheel?
