Agh!! IM getting EXCITED!!!

I pick up my 2005 Chilli Red MCS with Aero kit tomorrow! I have to be at work at 6am but cannnnot get to sleep becasue I'm so excited about the car. I just got my first "proper" job out of college and have never spent more than 6K on a car before. I just can't wait to get out in it! I'm glad to be joining the "community"

Wish me shiny red luck!

Haha I'm still on...not in bed yet! I just can't wait. The guy who has it just now ordered it EXACTLY how I would have. No traction control, but has the slippy diff, has the glass roof, has ipod mount, fog lights, red interior AND only 20K miles. Is it weird that I can't wait to drive to work everyday now?

With the LSD you'll hardly want the traction control on (all MCSs come with the ASC not DSC Standard, I have the ASC off 99% of the time, and the OC doesn't realy see the conditions I'll let it stay on for)

yeah thats the other great thing, he's had that electrical mod that makes the windows auto up and when the car starts the ASC is automatically off - a true driver!

Goodnight!
