I've already done an introductory post but to bring you up to speed I agreed a deal on an AUC facelift 2006 3.0Si Sport Roadster with a dealer down in London to collect at the end of the month. Having sold my old car in under 2 days I bought that forward to Friday last week.
Got down there from Leicestershire in good time, happy with the car etc when going through the paperwork it came time to pay and sods law there was a problem with my bank and a block had been placed on my card for no reason! You can imagine how I felt, trying to explain that I knew I had the money and to be fair to HSBC they were very apologetic over the phone! That only set me back about an hour and I still managed to miss the Friday afternoon traffic on the drive home (and what a drive home!)
Looks like I'm just in time for the change in weather now too, went out for a drive with the Mrs last night and loved every second, the noise from the straight 6 is addictive!
I've already removed part of the foam for the sound generator, my only other plans include fitting Cruise, which I really miss from my last car, cup holders (how much!) the wind deflector kit and possibly changing to Eibach's when the springs need replacing. I think I'd like those callipers sorted out too.
Just a quick iPhone shot from last night, being a photographer I have some really good ideas for a proper shoot with this car that I hopefully get time to do in June.
