Thanks for the feedback lads!

Glad you enjoyed the read, I tried not to prattle on too much as there is so much more to say about the car, but I'll save that for another time. ;)
BennyD, whilst I'm sure Mr Balboni is quite happy with this as a road car, as am I, I'm sure he'd agree that to make it a more track focused car would require the mods that I mentioned... and probably quite a few more in his opinion. But to acknowledge your point, I'll be leaving it as is because it's going to be a road car 99% of the time.
Ozzie, thanks for your feedback too. I'll probably do another report after a few months of ownership and escapades to give more of a long term view. That said after using it to comute last week and the trip to Spa and back I've already put an additional 2,000 miles on it! How the previous owner only managed to put 5,000 miles on it in 2 years I'll never understand. And yes, I'll be hanging around on here. I've made some good mates on here over the last couple of years and expect to meet a load more over the next few years too. Hopefully we'll share a beer or two at some point, either on this side of the world or over your side. (Me and Mrs GTDan are talking about Christmas hols in Oz...)
Simon, yep I meant the track of the car. Previously I'd only ever been in the wider carriages so it didn't even cross my mind until I was bumping off the kerbs. We were in one of the wider ones on the way back, but of course the damage was done by then. Still a valid point whenever any of us take our cars on the Eurotunnel.
MLC, no cup holders! Its a disgrace :D Yep, 25mpg with a very light foot and constant 70mph is possible.... but it won't happen very often ;)

Thanks again chaps.

Well if you do firm up your oz hols let me know closer to the time, it would be a disaster to come all this way and not meet up....and as I have said to many your welcome to stay, our place is more than big enough... with some nice views...

I've just explained the story behind DanBoni and Mr Crazy to my better half.
She looked at me waiting for the punch-line.... Which wasn't forthcoming and simply called me a saddo and went to bed.

Apparently we're no better than adelesant boys... I quite like that, even if she doesn't :D
