Well done!

I've just done exactly the same thing, and picked mine up from S&S in Ayr yesterday afternoon. At the prices the Spec D's were selling at, it was just too good an offer to refuse.

John at S&S had one left in stock (it was already PDI'd and just waiting to go), and we managed to sort out a deal on Friday afternoon with me emailling photos of my car down and agreeing a price. Quick call to the insurance (Gary @ Keith Michaels) saw a cover note faxed direct to S&S and enabled John to register the car in my name and get it taxed and ready for collection yesterday. Sorted out the finance by phone/fax/email so that was all in place.

All I needed to do was to roll up with my old car, sign a few bits of paper and drive off in my new toy. After having my old one for over 5 years now since new, the new one will take a little getting used to, and running in was a long a distant memory!

PS If anyone wants a good MY02 STi, then contact John @ S&S. Mine had not long had the 60k service done (major service including all fluids replaced, so no big servicing bills for a few years). I had just replaced all the brakes with the top spec DBA stuff (front discs on alloy bells, rear grooved discs), with DS2500s and new brake fluid all round just a month ago and were nicely bedded in and giving fantastic performance (I noticed a big difference in feel and response going back to the standard set-up on the new car, despite it being brand new!). My old car also has the Prodrive springs fitted, and is de-tangoed. True there are some stone chips which you would expect on a car that has done 68k miles, but it's never been involved in an accident and has had all servicing & oil changes done using Motul 300V. It will be a cracking car for someone who wants a fast reliable car without too many big bills for a few years.
