I have car, garage & driveway envy.
Good for you, Darren.
Have I missed the section/thread where you've described your inaugural drive?

So very very nice Darren, all those finishing touches look superb.....
The Gravel, The Curbing, That Hanging basket.......
Seriously though the car looks stunning, and shows great dedication to the cause. Look forward to seeing the car ( and yourself of course ) in July!!
Cheers

The car is currently with Porsche Centre Swindon who are kindly letting me use their showroom to take a few photos whilst its all nice and shiny!
I'm collecting from there Friday morning for my first ever run in the car......I have quite a special trip planned for my first drive!
Thanks to everyone for all the kind comments, encouragement and support.
