Pics From Bristol
Seen it all before - probably!
Although I took a load, liked these the best.
This one from the drivers position is great because it shows the wings off which is all you see!!!
Have more if anyone wants any angles.

An image idea as yet unseen, well done. They didn't start the engine I presume? Anyone wanting to know what 'Winning Blue' looks like should see these images because that's it exactly. Too light for me but still nice.

No they didn't but they did offer for me to stay on until 10.30 when the car was to be moved out and hear it then.
With a 3.5hour drive ahead, I couldn't face it, sorry!
They offered this (or Paul did) because I was a forum member!!!
Knowing MarkW does have its benefits afterall

I agree Lens, with over 300 pics on the PC I was still stunned by the stance, height and beauty of this car. Even in blue!

Oilman, Great pictures
I should be able to get the video from Bristol (taken on Monday) up and running at the weekend.
I apologise in advance though, my technique isn't great.
Having looked at these I think I will go off and have another look at the video.

Last One..............
Note puncture repair kit in back corner.
It consists of a pump that plugs into the lighter and a bottle of gunk that you pump into the tyre.

What's your opinion about the number plate? I think it looks good and even better than without it. Also, as you implied, if you like a blue one this much think how much you'll love a Tita.. sorry.. red one!

In the pictures the rear end looks quite high, but in the flesh it appeared quited different and don't forget the ride height will be substantially lower on the production versions.
I measured the gap between the top of the tyre and the wheel arch and it was just over 2 inches, if the ride height is going to be 1 to 1.5 inches lower then the car will look altogether better.

Rael,
Believe me buddy these pictures do not do the stance any justice at all. You will find the rear perfect when you see it.
The car is altogether lower, wider and more aggressive in the flesh, I couldn't believe it when I saw it.
I will look through my collection of rear shots and see if I can find a better pic in any colour.
Others that have seen it will agree with me.
Don't worry!
Cheers

You are such a soothing element on this forum! Glad you understand my view and can now positively argue the case. I continue to wait to see my car in the flesh.

As I mentioned on the thread about the Top Gear magazine, the gar will be on the programme this Sunday, static but still moving images. This was confirmed to me last night by a friend that works on the programme.
Also, I should have my video from Bristol up an running at the weekend.
