Am hoping you can do me the same signature as yours, but with a black roof, if you don't mind, no rush :Whistle:

I've no idea what 6VC is :lol:

looks great Alan, liking all black for a jcw A LOT, and it'll show the muck up better :thumbs up: also 100% with you on the hatch preference :thumbs up: oh and to finish, entirely with you on the front end of the F56 too! Wavelengths aligned. Group hug :arms:

New car will be fantastic, enjoy.

On the colour - good choice. I expect all cars in Florida stay clean for a lot longer than they do here, especially in winter.

Car is alive and kicking, apparently got ahead of the waiting list, car is being prepared for the journey across the water, 4 weeks or so and it'll be at the dealer :thumbs up:
Will have to buy some extra manky cloths and some sponges cause the car will be too clean :Whistle:

It's either Egg Fried Rice or Poppadoms...

Sorry I missed this one Alan - NICE MOTOR! :cool: :thumbs up:

Would you like one of us to "Run it in" for you before shipping? That way it'll be loosened off AND manky by the time you get it - just the way you like it! Result.

Awesome spec Alan, looks awesome. Not entirely sure I could have an all black car in Florida, but it will polish up lovely once a year.

Enjoy.:thumbs up:

Well Alan, I can easily say you've picked by far the best NFL team to support:thumbs up:, but as a life long Dolphins fan I've yet to have anything to cheer about :frown:! Extremely jealous you're going to see the Fins play. That said I did turn down the chance to see them play the G-men in London but I couldn't stomach the silly prices when you can pay $40 to see them play when they are at home. I'd also love to go the Super Dome, what a stadium.

Without going too off topic, I'd hope we've got a shot at the playoffs this year as its by far the strongest roster we've had in a long while and Tanny is showing plenty potential!

:thumbs up: Their mascot also started in one of the Ace Ventura films. They were the late 80's early 90's 'almost' team and have done nothing since but they do hold the record as being the only team in NFL history to go the whole season without losing a game and win the championship. Several teams have gone through the regular season unbeaten but failed to win the Superbowl.

I bet it's going to be a long 6 weeks for you Alan. How long do you get off on your rotation when you are home to have some fun with it?
