Dont forget to plan a little extra time to get to work.

This is only for the time you spend admiring it in the carpark before you go in.

Welcome

Hello.

I did the same thing.
My brother big_muzzie made me get 1 about 3 weeks ago.

Best decision I ever made (car wise).

Welcome aboard smile

As hinted above check your bonnet cable while it's able to open! The loop at the end is prone to fraying.
