Comes off the ship Monday I believe. Wayne will be trading it in by the end of the week for an X7M with 23 inch wheels.

Congrats! Alpine has driven his back to Canbra and mine is still somewhere in Melbourne but not in my hands. Good luck with the manual driving!

Yes, so that it would look like the Traxxas Summit that we are waiting for. The 1M came off the ship on early Monday morning, so it's probably in a warehouse somewhere.

Now that you are here Matty, are we going to see your post count go up? 13 in 3 years is pretty impressive considering you could do that in one day on the Tex.

Let me know when you go to pick it up. I have a genuine need to leave two thick black strips down City Road.

Just watched the Sabine review of the Ein-M and one thing I noticed that I should have realised before is how ze Chermans pronounce BMW, when I heard Ms Schmidt say Bee Emm Vee.

Just uploaded some pics on the other thread. I must say I was awestruck when I saw the car. The colour was fantastic - no pictures or photos I saw justified what it really looks like. The front fenders are just crazy! I think it is also better finished than my 135i too!

I have agreed to have the car to be in the show room for the week. I would say it would be prep by tomorrow. The ONE M plate should be on there too.

I will be driving the dealer principals M3 in the mean time .

We had that conversation with John's dealer at Melbourne. When we asked him whether he could reset the clock, he smiled and said "Secret dealer's business" or something similar.

Still, you wouldn't expect them to give it too much of a fang, it would be pretty conspicuous on the road I would think.

Looks good too. Gutsy decision to get the VO I reckon, but could prove to be the colour of choice.

And how nice that they want your car to show for a week. Are you going to pop in and have a look every day?

Fantastic Sparoz! As happy as I am for you I can't help feeling a little tinge of regret that there is another VO cruising around SE Qld!! I agree with you entirely that photos just do not do the colour justice, it is quiite sensational in person...

It needs to go to tint - so it will be a few km more. As long as it's under 10, but I recall my last car had 6 on it.

I saw Chris last week and told him that you'd be fine having your car at the motor show provided they agree to buff out the scratches afterwards. He said that would be no problem.

That's ok Matty, because it will be traded in within a week for a X7M anyway.
