After a week's break in Lake Garda with the wife (and no 2 and 4 yr old daughters to keeps us occupied!), I arrived back in rainy blighty with a hankering for a 500 Abarth after driving a little Fiat 500 whilst away. I thought when I arrived back home reality would set in, I would grow up and act my advanced years and lose the eye of the tiger, but after a test drive last weekend it has ended up a scratch that needs itching! Anyway 2 weeks later (and numerous visits to this site, voyeur that I am!) I have traded my S2000 and just signed all the paperwork at Thames for my new car which I pick up on Friday morning. It's white, red leather, 17" 10 spokes, skydome, climate, alloy gearshift, auto dimming mirror and no stickers which was pretty much the spec I would have wanted and with no 12 week wait. Instant gratification! Looking forward to mucking about around the lanes in my new little buggy as I haven't had a front wheel drive car since the mid 90's!

Thanks, I think I will. It just made me smile when I sat in it and more when I drove it. Wicked little motor!

No biscuits for me.......! He's a top man, has looked after me really well through the huge spec changes (Black, 17's and that's it to white and everything!). A pretty patient guy! Anyway, hello to everyone, I will no doubt bore you with my ramblings over the coming weeks and months. I work by myself at home so need a bit of interaction to break up the day!

I will get a couple of pics up over the weekend, nothing flash like the torchy, light, multicoloured outline one's I saw on a thread but pics nonetheless and I will get to a meet. Are there many around Berks, Bucks, Herts?
