Car has arrived in the UK from Zeebrugge and on It's way to Vines @ Redhill.
Got to wait for the M Sport accessories to arrive and be fitted before pick up.
Provisionally booked for 28th December

Hope you enjoy it as much as I'm enjoying mine, it's great fun on typical B roads, with just the right amount of performance

I've had 5-6 different videos from Nick at Vines throughout the process. They've been brilliant.

Probably the special transport blocks that are put on the suspension - to stop it bottoming out when it goes on and off the car transporters.
They often seem to get left on cars by mistake - would be pretty obvious on this car!
Looks amazing - interesting colour!!
