Thanks for the comments Dave! My last car was also yellow and one of my requirements for this car was "not a yellow car again", but when I saw this car, the colour works brilliantly with the shape I felt!
I don't think I will be able to make the next meet.... it is a good 1.5 hours journey for me and I would need to be back by lunch time!
Cheers
Alex

Lovely shaped car and a pleasant change from the 7s (not knocking 7s but there is a plethora of them)

Agree that yellow suits the shape.

Guys..... great news on the insurance of my old xtreme. The investigator rang me up as he could not find another car as a ref to base the right-off valuation... I gave him the back ground to the car plus that I have spent over £1k plus labour on it in the past couple of years. He then asked me what I would accept :-). He came back a couple hour later offering almost what I wanted which was £1.5k over what it cost me 4 years ago!
Well chuffed :D

Result :D

RE the new car - I'm saying this because I get the opposite so often - that's a fisher Fury isn't it? :lol:

Very nice, I look forward to seeing it on a run once my winter upgrades are done.

Great news. always good to hear that an insurance company is fair. Now nick the exhaust manifold before they come to collect the car and sell it to me :evil:
