Sorry guys and girls its been a long day, big thanks to big Daz for the trip to Kent to collect it
The weather to-day was horrendous it pretty much pi$$ed it down all the way there and back not the best for collecting your new car
The car is basically stinking and needs a good clean before taking any pic's, Si managed to sneak one in with his camera phone before the light faded completely
I got to say I love it
its so different to my old newage WRX it feels less soft and more raw I guess thats what type R's are all about, never understood the "R" factor until now and with 375BHP under the right foot it goes well enough 
its deffo a license looser thats for sure I am going to need to pay more attention to the speedo reading as its all to easy to get carried away
I have already had an offer if I want to sell
I will get some pic's up ASAP once I have had chance to give her a good clean maybe tomorrow.
Off to bed soon I'm crackered but one happy bunny

That is a lovely looking car Kev bet you must be absolutely over the moon. i must admit even though the 330Ci is a lovely car, there is something that still makes me want a bug eye STI. But if i do end up moving to the states in the future hopefully the next toy will be a V8
Keep enjoying it mate

LOL, that's cos yours has never been used and probably sat on axel stands most of the time!!!
I'm well chuffed for ya Kev, looks like you bought a minter!!! I can't wait to see i in the flesh!!! It looks (unknowingly) like you and me have similar ancillary specs...
