martyn Posted November 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Great, thanks, For that, I can see I will have to work on my uploading skills! anyway, the reason for the 2 different number plates is 2 were taken informally by the dealer to send to me (with the old owners private plates still on) and the others taken by me on my phone 2 days later. I probably won't get much sleep tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martyn Posted November 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Great, thanks everyone for your comments, it seems the wife was right (again), it was just me, I did find myself thinking that if I didn't grab it someone else would and I would regret it, but it's great to have the wife's taste confirmed by you all. Next step to get the money together...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think I'd like the buttons but prefer them after using them to the paddles....... what is this 'paddle affair' you mention? I have a steering wheel and a stick oh and BTW....well done!

The reality is that the driver's reactions are likely to have more influence on that 'race'...I'm still waiting for our man @Topradio to sort out a Santa Pod event to test it out...
