It'll be just like owning the hawk again!.

Its due with the dealer next week and the aim is to pick it up Saturday 6th

There's still no word on the arrival of the Mountune FPM375 kit, but if necessary it'll go back in for that when the kit arrives.

Its been a long wait and hopefully it'll be worth it. Cant wait. I will get to some meets when it arrives, be good to catch up

Hows yours going?. I saw a nice blue one this week on the coast road in Peacehaven, looked awesome. There are none around here at the moment so it was nice to see one on the road.

I'm pleased to hear you've been given a delivery date mate, not long to go now
Once you get yours, I'll try and bring the car to a meet over the summer so we can get some nice pictures of them both
The RS is going well thanks Steve just got over the 1K mark last weekend and have started to push the car a bit more now, feels great being able to use all the rev range at last.

I'm glad I didn't order that early build as I doubt I would of hit the magic mileage where it occurs within the warranty period.

Later builds have hopefully sorted the issue.

Just a bit. Particularly as it seems someone near me has taken delivery of a blue one in the last few days and insists on driving passed my office

Was your choice of a blue car influenced by the fact you had owned a black car in the Past? How you kept your hawk so clean I have no idea. I love my black STI, but if I clean it by the time I've driven down my driveway it's already Dirty!

Hi Terry,

I hope all is well with you guys.

I didn't go for blue, I've gone for Magnetic Grey. As you know I love black cars and had I gone for a Civic or golf, they would have been black, but the focus somehow doesn't look right to me in black. Grey should be easier to keep as well!!. I think garaging the black hawk helped keep it looking good.
