Thanks Gents
Yep massive fixed grin all yesterday evening...
It’s the county show today and the roads are ‘choca’ but once I got a few miles under my belt I’ll post some driving impression...
However things feel bloody good from the first few drives...

Hi Guys
Thanks for all your kind comments
Next weekend I’ll try and put pen to paper with a few driving impressions...
But for now here’s a bit of ‘arty’ Car Noir!
