Haha thanks both. I thought it quite cool :mrgreen:

Paul it's very discreet in Sophisto, which is a quality i like for a daily (under the radar)
In all honesty i'd rather it be blue with any interior but black but i'd still be waiting to buy one now! :lol:

Talk about the surveillance society, Google got me too.
Unlike Marc's D5 Brunhilda just looks shabby and uncared for!

Had two new rear tyres fitted this morning. The previous PS4S's had done almost 18k miles, which I thought was excellent.

Finally washed the D4. Felt a little guilty about the use of the jet wash/ hosepipe until it looked like this.

Guilt? What guilt!!

Went to Goodwood breakfast club, very very wet!

The rain didn't seem to deter too many people though so some great cars there including a B5 Bi Turbo touring in one of the garages, sorry I didn't get a chance to say hello
