You got it? Congratulations! Hope those stripes come off easy, or you'll get a colour matching sticker :)

Just a little word though - take it easy for the first few weeks. I nearly wiped myself out a few times when I first got behind the wheel of my coupe! Stay with us Jay...

Something my mum told me too, I'm not religious but it rang home to me.
