Sure am, going to get my hands on the GT-P bucket seats for the front and GT seats for the back. Also going to get the audio upgrade with some subs and new speakers/amp. Engine bay will also be done with braided lines, chrome plumbing and some airbrush work.

Have some big plans for the car.

Hi Bambi, could not see the mascot anywhere in the pics. I hope you still have it.
Seriously, well done Rob you and the car deserve all the accolade coming to you.

I have driven this car, and believe me, it's an adrenalin rush, not to mention being thrown back in your seat!.

Nice! I bought the magazine today and it is a good article. There are some awesome cars in this issue. Firstly your BA, then that maroon XE (with XF styling), and that XP coupe. All look great.
