Hi all

Just saw my first (Ireland)

I was waiting at a slip road to a main road
(coming off belgard onto the bypass at the square in tallaght)

I thought the line of traffic accross the road were checking out my car
and then looked beside me in the next lane and it was a GP!!

I have never suffered car envy like it in my life!

Hello whoever it is (if they are on the boards)
its a smashing car,

It was the car presented at the London Motor show to the first person in the world who ordered one (allegedly), who said as part of the acceptance speech he would never sell it.

As to being the first person to order one, Grrr

Yup, I agree with the Grrr!

Still it will probably go straight out the door at 25K being no 0002 and the first customer car and all!

I wonder what they would give me for my GP on a p/ex ?!!!

Weird thing is, when I ordered my MCS 07 a couple of weeks back the sales guy mentioned the 0002 car and said that it would never be sold.. Something along the lines that it now belonged to the owners of the north oxford mini garage and the board wanted them to keep hold of it.. must have seen the ££ signs

Spotted first Gp today, East Lancs Road A580 going towards manchester direction near texaco lowton.
I believe the driver was testing the performance claims as he came **** tearing past a line of cars. I must say sounded good, proper tuned sound as he was wide open throttle.
Nice i was on the other side of the carriagway at the lights!

Saw one yesterday in Telford at about 12:10. Got a big thumbs up from the driver, anyone on here?

Its a very difficult job and the only way to get through it is we all work together as a team.....
