Congrats, sooo much fun waiting for the new delivery. Are you beating the 545 for old times sake?

No beating -- she's still a blast and I'm trying to savor every last minute of my beloved SMG...

Woohoo. Glad to hear you can almost smell the paint work Rudy.

I had a call from my dealer today to tell me that my car's production date got bumped - one month earlier. Production now scheduled for end-July instead of end-August so I will have my new baby in late-September.

Even with the original planned August build/October delivery it still wasn't in time for Sports Auto for Australian deliverd cars, so I will have to live my fast shifting through everyone else on the forum for the next 4 years.
