Red face Heading home...

Wow, wow, wow. I had driven the car before but it had been a while. I posted a few weeks ago about buying my dad's 07 .1. Finally sealed the deal last weekend. Here it is loaded on the trailer before heading home. I was really limited by tie down points on my Trailex 7541 because I only have one set of Mac straps with direct hooks. Thankfully it wasn't going too far. Car is in excellent shape with a tick over 5900 miles. I will get some proper pics in the coming week.

Full options list...
- Steel brakes
- Black full leather
- Adaptive sport seats
- PCM 2.1
- Bi-xenon headlights
- Rod antenna
- Fire extinguisher
- Chrono plus
- Floor mats (interior color)
- Gear lever trim exterior color
- Red taillights
- Rims and caps exterior color
- Thicker steering wheel - leather

Car has brand new MSPCs. He also added full front and side clearbra (hood, front fenders, bumper, lights, side skirts), full carbon mirrors, carbon center radiator exhaust vent grill, and carbon wicker on rear wing.
