I spoke to the dealers this a.m. and was told my car isn't yet at the dealership. Update on Monday. Everything comes to he who waits apparently.

Mine was ordered directly through the dealer, not a lease broker.

Just thought I'd pop a couple of pics up of the car as I've had chance to settle in with it now.

Couldn't be happier to be fair has met all my expectations so all good.

Couldn't be more excited, and looking forward to the difference, and step up, from the current ST I'm driving.

Thanks, mate. Yeah, just confirmed today it's landed in the UK, so should be here within a couple of weeks.

Was doing the usual video search last night, and didn't realise about the ambient lighting. Nice touch!
