My Baby's gone :-(
Gone .. but not forgotten..
Had some great times.... But at least she'll be at the NBO and back to the next WYIOC meet with her new owner Daz..
Replacement arrives soon...

As an alternative, can I propose a "wetting the new baby's seats" ceremony? Especially with that naughty little twin scoll turbo....

Okay, so, what's the running order in The Chairman's new motor? May I suggest:-
1. Corradoboy. Dave should get it warmed up nicely.
2. Harry Boy. I'm not greedy.....
3. Sticky. On a private track. To test the on-limit adhesion.
4. Dazza. As a direct means of comparison with his PPP'd STI.
5. SteveChaps. As a demonstration of what he could've had......

Dave a good idea from you, but a terrible one from Chris.. 
Alternate suggestion..
1. Corradoboy. After seeing the fear in Daza's eyes? This means Dave will be No:45.
2. Harry Boy. I think you'll be a little rusty on the performance side.... However, we may strike a deal if you turn up in a Cayenne.. Turbo S.
3. Sticky. On a private track. After seeing Andy take his frustrations out on T'Evo.. He'll be No:46 until the red mist has cleared..
4. Dazza. If the Quick rack steering is anything to go by. Dazza will have it doing 360's in 25 ft.. So he can have a go when I've got some spare rubber..
5. SteveChaps. As a demonstration of what he could've had...... He was soooo close to getting something similar.. But Steve needs cubic inches.. 1,998cc is not enough! Regardless of Twin Scroll..
Dependent upon arrival date and time, the Holmfield may be all I can do... Especially as the car will be offloaded here.. and I'd like Katrina to join me/us after she's finished work..

Ask Martin about my abilities as I stuck like a limpet to Cheesy's @rse PS. I may go and test drive one for myself on monday (just don't tell Helen, it's blue so she'll never spot the difference - like the grille
)

Indeedy!
Now, where's a picture?
Even just a little arty one to be going on with?
Dave.. I'm only going on hearsay.. I never saw any of the alleged incidents.... But the tales of controlled powersliding to within inches of contact and power braking into roundabouts sideways.. mean you stay at No 45..

Nice one! Actually it was owned by someone from the factory & has a few 'tweaks' shall we say.
Anyway, enough thread hijack, really looking forward to seeing your new scoob & yes I am still missing mine despite everything.
Replied to your e-mail then read the next one with the alt address, oops! Too tired & numb brain!!
