Hi all just thought I'd let you all know I picked up my today and I could quite easily sit here all day and type an a4 page on the car because it is that good, it evan made me forget about the Honda nsx i got to drive about 4 weeks ago.
But I'm sat here thinking to myself and saying "why write all that when the car can be described in one word" "(GRIP)."
It is f**king out of this world, no over steer no under steer just pure 100% grip.
I'll put some pic's up tomorrow when I get the camera out. have fun all and trust me buy this car.

P.s. it is in performance blue without the strips.

Hi all thanks for all the congrats and sorry about the delay i had to work last night, part of the job i'm afraid when you've got to print the newspapers for all you 9 to 5ers to read.
Anyway to the good stuff, car is running good no problems at all. Running it in nicely, not keeping the revs to high or low just letting the car do its thing, but must admit to having a little play on Sunday.
There is lots of torque from the word go, infact in 1st it climes the rev's so quickly you find yourself changing up within a blink of an eye, but in 2nd it just pulls and keeps pulling, 60 in 2nd is easily done without going into the red and as for the rest of the gears lets just say unless your on a clear motorway you would either run into another car or run out of road before you hit the red.
The ride is stiff but in no way offencive,it seems to flow with an uneven road rather then bounce around on it, maybe this is what the jurno's meant when they said it had a lack of feel for the road but then changed their minds later when they released that due to the large wheels and the fact it is quite a lite car it just soaks most of the road up without Evan trying.
Stearing and grip is great, point the car where you want it and it goes there.
The seats grip you all over and in fact they are so good the longer you sit in them the tighter you seem to be sucked into them, which can be quite uncomfotbale in the trouser department after a while (pink rinse you will be fine) .
To end I'm going to note one problem I have with the car and it is the thickness of the front pillers,they can be quite intrusive and I find myself having to look around them quite allot, especially when they block my view of the curb on tight turns and roundabouts.
Hope this helps you all and if their is anything else you want to know or I've missed let me know and i'll try to help.

Good review. I have the same problem with A-pillars with most of the cars I drive.
