The tricky part is to convince my wife that this car is actually different from the one I have now. She recons it's the exact same car "apart from the plastic bits on the front"

Bless her..

I"ve done that! The trick is, get the same color!

Haven't decided on the colour yet, but since the estimated waiting time is TWO YEARS I have plenty of time to decide (or go bankrupt, die etc. for that matter)

Very excited though!?

I don't even want to contemplate the V.A.T or penalty tax, or whatever they call it over in Europe. The Government and most of the left-leaning Socialists over there will look upon you as a leper, won't they?

Fred, I have been thinking about getting on my dealers wait list. What did they charge you as a deposit?

Fred,

My dealer has 17 confirmed orders with ?2k deposits for each and is only getting 2 cars this year!

I'll stick with my 997. Not as common as these E60's


Quick Reply: I ordered one!
