Every cloud and all that. :thumbsup

Looks awsome.

With all Shug's praise and now yours along with the price Craig has offered for the factory SC upgrade, I'm finding it really hard to resist converting the R.

I've found it hard to get excited about the front end of S2.5 facelift... but have to say, that's one nice looking motor you've got yourself there Dave. Nice one :)
I have no signature.

Thanks guys, really wasn't sure about the facelift model but for the deal I got it made absolute sense ESP. given the prices of 08/09 S2 SC's on the market! I wouldn't have lived with the silver wheels or diffuser for long so glad I got them thrown in too..... One salesman to another and to boot he is a friend so it was a tough negotiation that had my wife hiding behind her phone in embarrassment!

My only tiny regret is not holding out for one with traction as it is silly quick compared to the 135R and I've had those rear wheels spinning a good few times :shock:

Dearest Mr The Hay,

May I proffer my sincerest congratulations on the recent addition to your stable. It gives me great pleasure to see a man of your calibre with such a steed - proof positive that every cloud has a silver lining :mrgreen:

I'm sure you'll take great care of her and she'll do likewise to you. Benny's car has managed to put up with a lot of ham-fisted, traffic-light-grand-prix-and-driving-up-and-down-George-Street-in-1st-gear so they seem to have the mechanicals sorted with these new ones!

For what its worth yours is the only S2.5 that I've seen and felt myself getting excited about - top job fella!
