Congratulations that is a very classy colour and I think you will find it a very much admired car.

Wishing you many happy miles together.

She is of course right. Whatever possesed them to pick that for a demonstrator? Or was it a cancelled customer order? Who knows!

Congratulations Peter on the immanent arrival of George. I guess all that canvasing convinced you that you only had one choice, and also provided you with the material needed to convince swmbo. I caught a quick glimpse of the car on my flying visit, and it will look smart in the garage (A pity its not my garage) envy
Just think of all the extra driving time you will have without the maintenance to do. cheers

Peter Peter Peter you have done it, you have converted to Aero world, No No No we are not going to accept because it as a Trad Shape Body you have kept within your Trad religion, i know for a fact you are bouncing off every wall in the house waiting to get your paws on her for good.

As i said " and think" brought the conversation alive when i said i suggested the colur is great

You will be a new bourne man when you get your butt in that

Well done... Brilliant choice of motor IMO

PS put up a good photo when it arrives, it certainly will earn a place on my SCREEN SAVER for a period thumbs

Best
Dean

Congrats!

They do an Audi R8 Spyder in a similar colour combo, that looks fantastic and so does yours! And that inteior, looks like toffee piped in cream! very inviting. It will be much admired wherever you go.

Out of interest why the 3 week wait and what is being done to in in that time?

Things to do:

1. Re-furbish or replace front Max wheels, both have scuff marks on the rims.
2. Make new side screens in brown, to match the hood. It has black ones....
3. Make a tonneau, included in the build sheet but cannot be found.
Make and fit bonnet strap, again included in the build sheet but cannot be found.
4. Annual service, it should have been done at 12,000 miles.
5. Check and if needed re-gas the Aircon.
6. Replace the protective film on the running boards, it has been badly scuffed.
7. Fit rear rack, included in the build sheet but never fitted.
8. Check for and touch up any stone chips.

The Williams will check everything has been done to their satisfaction....

Target date is 8th November. Could be a week later.

Don't forget the damaged rear wing on the drivers side. It has a dent/soft spongy area where you put your hand to assist getting out. If it was me I would request a new rear wing as it's lost its integral strength and will always be susceptible to future damaged.
