Great stuff Paul, thats great news

Very good. I drove for as long as possible, only stopping through too much heat to myself (coldest was 30) or due to break fade and tired driver syndrome!

Got the car to 160 km/h on the longest straight we had, and it flies through he bends. Awesome fun. Also go a taxi ride in a challenge car, that was also fun!

Have to say though, very, very impressed.

What were the main differences that you found compared to the Works S? Acceleration? Handling?

How did sound?

Link works. OK, noisier, faster, easier to turn, stop.... Just better overall.

Stereo is not so hot, just a boost with two speakers missing.

My "reasons Paul will never be racing driver" video will really help I hope, tomorrow!

Numbers are also random, and No.1 is not first built, nor is 2000 the last. Certain countries were given a set of random numbers, some bartered for cool ones, but other than that, they're random.

Got to go now, time to eat.

Congrats to those who've ordered one, it's brilliant.
