Excellent! I remember my first brand new car... a 1984 Bertone X1/9. It had sat on a showroom floor of this tiny car-dealer over two years - I actually got it Feb 13th, 1987. (Friday the 13th - with full moon..ha). Funny thing is - I still have the darn thing (or what's left of it anyway) - haven't ran it in years - it just sits in a warehouse collecting dust..hahahaha It sure didnt have 170HP, but I definatly racked up some serious miles on it....
Anyway hope you enjoy your new wheels!
