Hi all,
Well it took it's time, but I picked up my VII on 15 July and was thoroughly chuffed to bits with it, even though had to sit on the M25 for 3hrs (time taken just to get from junction of A3 to A41 - :headbang2 to all who travel on this circus every day) on the way back.
Anyhow, it behaved impeccably with a/c on almost full tilt and at walking pace for almost all that time too. Since then it has been treated to copious amounts of Optimax , polish and the repainted Enkeis (piccies to follow soon on my MLR).
Also got around to having it fully serviced (all fluids and full check over etc) today by SHM. Good, friendly service :smthumbup - only popped in on Monday afternoon to book it in and done today at a very reasonable price.
Next on the list is to retrieve the Motec from my GT4 and have it put on the VII - in the meantime I'm being careful with the right foot (not too much lead) :angel: till I'm happy it safe to 'cane it'. BTW there are advantages to this strategy 1) the Optimax doesn't disappear quicker than the speedo moves :crackup: and 2) having driven a Ka :blah: for last 6 months 'Driving Miss Daisy' style :blush: in the VII feels like at least warp 7
That's all for now folks!!
