thanks 4/4 for seeing where i was coming from. i've got plenty of patience for quirky things as they relate to hand built items but i just felt that some of it just came down to shoddy/lazy craftsmanship. for example the starter sticker that is on top of the flip cover for the start button was applied too low where it isn't centered and hangs off the opening in the switch. really? i mean this is acceptable? especially when the solution is to pull the sticker off, and then take another 10 cent sticker and apply it properly taking less than a minute. these are the things that i feel most disappointed by

Your comparisons with the Beamer are very even handed I thought and you are prepared for the "incoming". There is a prevailing "Emporers New Clothes" nucleus around that seems to think that "shoddy" workmanship is totally acceptable in a handbuilt vehicle but don't like to say. I personally think it's an excuse, if Aston Martin engines are still handbuilt I bet their failure rate isn't too high.
