    Thank you. Admittedly I am a purist and the car's performance is fine as is. So I don't know how many mods I will make to it. For the moment I'm just geeked to have it. :biggrin5:

    I'll use any excuse to drive mine. Will hit the first 1000 miles this weekend. How quickly they add up. :lol:

    Thanks. I'm biased, but it is sharp looking.

    Yep, that was the inspiration. I have a long standing love affair with the country. My Go Badge is sporting the Scottish saltire right now. :D

    :cornut: My Mother(Anne McDonald Granger Sutherland) was born(1922) and raised in Edinburgh Scotland, UK. Her Dad ( Marcus Gunn Sutherland) was born on a croft just outside of Wick Scotland in 1870. He served in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders from 1894-1919 and retired as the Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant(2nd ranking Sergeant Major of the regiment) after serving in India, Afghanistan, the Boer War, and WWI. He is the 3rd generation of 6 generations of combat veterans in the family.
    You sound more like a Nice Lady than a Peculiar Dame. The 'Dame', is that a UK title or American slang?:Thumbsup:

    Wow, very impressive. If I have any Scottish descendants, they are farther back than I've been able to go.

    LOL. I wanted a username that described me without sounding too off-putting. I'm known to be a bit eccentric. And "dame" would be the slang usage here. I was looking for something other than woman/lady. But yes, in general I tend to be easy going and respectful. :D
