You've probably spent as much on fiddling with yours tbh, im certainly not rich!! 
10 days because there swapping my private plate as part of the deal, so its the good old DVLA holding things up. I want it now!!

Yeah I bought it from a Skoda dealers The salesman says it was taken in px against a 996 Turbo 
[Edited on 27-03-2009 by Colin]
More to the point, why was a Skoda dealer selling a 996 Turbo?
I have no idea Ive a feeling the owner may sell his own cars through the garage Its wierd theres a stack of superbs & fabias with an Elise 111s, M3, another V8 M3 stuck at one end

Yeah its SMG - Flappy paddles or stick, or Auto if I fancy being lazy!!
I liked it, the short time I drove it today, a nice change from manuals.

what happens if you press up a gear on the flippy piddles, then down a gear on the stick at the same time?
can you try it and report back to me?

SMG 2 its the one I would buy too!
Same as csl its a conventional box essentially without a clutch pedal
Can even just stick it in drive and mooch along but wont be as good as a proper auto

Another thing about the SMG box I like is the throttle blip on down change, it sounds unreal.

Yeah im half tempted to say just stick it on certificate so I can get it quicker
I might have to get a clean car thread going in the near future. Summer is upon us after all!!
Ive always wanted one from day 1 but for some reason started looking around them at other cars!! There dropping in price so much now, I certainly couldnt have afforded this car a year ago!!

good stuff for getting one anyway. i somehow dont think the novelty of the ford would last as long as the luxury and class of an m3.
your my new hero now that jr has died.
