Thanks everyone for the welcome.

Mopar - in actual fact I had some great weather for the first couple of weeks (got quite dramatic sunburn before I realized the perils of open top!). But my colleague took delivery of his Nissan 350z Coupe last week (another fabulous car, but a totally different character) and we've not had a dry day since - he's terrified of squeezing that vicious throttle!
APM - Sir Stirling is the proper address, but Sir is fine or Speedy would be good!
Bob - I'm currently based in Yorkshire, but originally from Nottingham
Dan - My company has two 4kw lasers - I'm already getting my engineers looking at reverse engineering the front lower grill (we already produce polished stainless radiator grills for other cars) and the center console, so I don't think I'll be a customer for your badges!

Have fun (rain or shine)

Martin
