DJ. Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I must admit I'm not a fan of the new badge, but then I didn't like the anniversary one as much as the old green/yellow either so maybe I'm just old fashioned Duncan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin J Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 It's your car you can have what you want! Ask them to supply one, it's still availablehere What are you getting David? The 140 supersport seems to be the car of the moment. Edited by - Martin Jeffrey on 8 Feb 2012 22:06:17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin J Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Nice spec & colour Think of the frustration if it was stuck in your garage now. I reckon it will be weeks before the salt is all gone ☹️ Kent Sunday blats a bit of a tradition down here, hope you have the equivalent where you live 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
