Welcome

Your silver hair will fall out when you get the servicing/petrol bills.

Yes it is a Uk car from a auth dealer. They offered it at £16800 (3k fuel discount as cash) then £16650 but the insurance was going to be £900 for a second car. ie a bit of fun, so I said no thanks. The dealer called back a couple of days later offering to pay half the insurance! Ok i'll have it!!! Great fun.
Yes it will need running in for the first 1k miles.
Cheers

PJC

ps why should I be afraid of pslewis???

Certainly is unless you paid 20k for one. That will help the depreciation along a treat!
