At my comfortable seating arrangement the rear passengers would have to be amputee's :| I will be leaving the back seats down most the time i'd say.
Steering & handling is wow, point and go.

took a couple of pics

I also have just returned from a test drive. I feel like... I can now no longer enjoy driving my 316, which now feels like a relic and reminds me of the corolla my grandfather used to drive... 25 years ago. To make me feel like this about a car that until about an hour ago was my favorite place to be, well I'm sure some of you can attest this is no small thing. Just have to make the choice on colour now. Oh, for those in the inner city suburbs, sci fleet taringa isn't all bad, see Sammy or Oliver.

Already thinking about that.

I might get Motographics to make a vinyl sticker of my front number plate and just remove the whole thing.

might want to ask RTA if that's legal first. Sound's legal to me...

But what are the chances of that fading and screwing up your paint on a hot sunny day or wet rainy day?

I've seen it on cars before including quite a few exotics. Haven't researched the legalities of it but from 6 feet away you can't tell the difference when done right.





It's actually easier for speed cameras to photograph as it doesn't reflect like metal plates do... wait.
