Hey AEM !

I saw your car at Tate on Thursday and I asked Scott "Who's really nicely spec'd car is that?" And he replied it was his customer.

Definitely one of the nicer dark silver R56's I've seen on here yet. You probably saw my old R56 sitting on the lot (laser blue and black).

Welcome to NAM.

Thanks. Yeah, I saw your 'old car'. Scott said you traded it in and got the 'newer' version . Good choice.

Dan,

In your pictures, is that the Gunmetal or Black on the new Rota RBs?

Thanks...

Yes, those are the 'Sport' stripes. I wanted something down the back of the car and they did the trick.
