Default New car

Been fancying a change from the ST lately so basically did a straight swap for this:

It's standard apart from an exhaust and a Bluefin but more to come eventually but got a few things to sort out first. Mechanically it's fine but cosmetically (IMO anyway) it's a little bit on the tatty side so needs a bit of paint doing, the drivers seat needs a repair to the upper and lower bolster fabric, steering wheel needs a retrim, the slam panel has been painted but looks proper shite as well and the whole car needs a bloody good clean and a nice polish!!

It drives very very well though and has stacks of history with it too which to me is the important bit! I'd rather have a well looked after car that needs a little cosmetic attention than one that looks absolutely mint but has never even seen a service!!

I do miss my ST a little bit but this is so much more fun to drive and is IMO more likely to depreciate less in the future than the ST will. Plus I always fancied one anyway!
