23 degrees but i have goosebumps!!!!!
Sizzling hot this evening but I had goosebumps all over.The reason,can only be the drive in the Scoob.Still running in the WR1,just over 200 miles but what a feeling,cant even give it full force of the right foot,but WoW!!!!!!!!
Absolutely made up with it.
Only problem is when the wife took it out of our garage this morning to go to work in ,it shook the house,and next doors and the one after that.I was talking to them this evening,and they told me what time she left!!!!!(05-30am)
Good neighbours though,they didnt mind too much.
Its not a monstrous noise but a very throaty burble.
I think they will get used to it dont you!!

Loads of rumble by the sounds of things. Can't wait. The only keeping me going at the moment is hearing you guys telling your little stories. Sad to many, superb to me!!
Keep enjoying!

Was originally told car would be ready for 18 May. Planned a weekend in Southampton followed by a holiday in Scotland around this to ensure the car was run in very quickly!! So bored of waiting now with a firm date.

IM will tell you they will find out and inform your dealer ,who can then inform you.
It is a rubbish system,because everyone gets edgy,and phonecalls go round and round.You just want to know where it is in the chain,and IM know exactly where it will be at any given time.Try again m8,they have the answer.Stay polite though.

I am so keen to hear the exhaust note!! I can't be certain that I have seen a WR1 just yet. Think I saw one in Edinburgh but it went past in opposite direct far too fast. My woman wanted me to spin my Jeep around and chase it!!!!! If I'd been in the Scooby I might have tried.

So they dont want to speak with you because they have enuff on their plate basically.So they will speak with the dealer ,who will then speak with you and the dealer will tell you the answer to the question you originally had to ask Im because the dealer did not know.If you know what I mean.
