I will indeed Lofty, I am, thank you...
What can I say... 
WOWSAS... 
Ear to ear and am I so pleased both the M25 and M1 were chock full of Friday night, escape from London, traffic last night... 
Picked The Special up from Zag's yesterday lunch time and could not be happier, or more impressed with my first drive...
So very quiet and so very smooth with the Alive Stage 1, I am sure I was grinning like the proverbial Cheshire all the way home...

Few more pics for you Roger. I couldn,t do more with IPad and mucky hands
On arrival...
Don't mess about with the ACF-50 to seal the foam strip invisibly (rear tub also), spray loads on and sorts spindles etc from rusting as well.
Stop rivet insides from corroding. Do the outsides as well obviously even though it,s Ally helps prevent the bubbling and staining you see on older models.
Bare metal in between hinge and bulkhead so run a line of ACF-50 along here regularly.
OK putting SS fasteners into hinges but the hinge itself rusts so cover that as well. Usually spray the whole thing then wipe off.
Bare metal also under rear tub cappings.
Undo screws and treat clips as they are rusty from new.
The new Dinitrol 447 stone chip goes on really thick, it has zinc bits in it also, nice to use...
Underbody wax goes on neatly if careful.
Worth spending time on the engine bay, bonnet etc treating brackets, hinges, bolt heads, anything metal In fact as it will rust!

Excellent, thanks a lot Chris, it was great to finally meet you when I picked The Special up on Friday...
And thanks for the visual reminders about topping up the protection, it really helps with actually remembering where to apply the ACF50... 
Especially at this corrosive time of year and doing so will give my valeter a nice extra headache each time he visits... Rog...

Actually used to love the Archers Ian and still do listen occasionally...
Head unit is awesome, so far, really easy to use and it is great to have in-built SatNav in the cabin...
Except I haven't yet discovered how to get the sounds from my iPhone to play through the unit... Rog...

It's always on at our house, and then the Omnibus on Sunday's! 
I'm having a dilemma choosing a heat unit, do you know the model number of yours? Cheers 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"
