Those pics are going to be epic, can't wait. Also can't believe you still haven't picked her up, you must have been really really busy or you are just far more
patient than I am.

Jay, Mike is talking about Cape Town South Africa.
Yes, those cars hardly see sunshine This the how the M Coupe's interior looks like after 7 years. These cars are always pampered!

Taking those two down there will probably mean an extra 20 kw each
There is a significant difference. I also soiled myself when I drove the LP in Cape Town for the first time. It's a totally different car!

^ I can see you really have a soft spot for that M coupe, and rightfully so, she is a beauty. Wow for leather to look like that after 7 years is quite something, it looks almost factory fresh, hell if it had plastic wrapped over it I would think it was.

Great photos. Did you run in to one of those locust swarms on the way down in the RR? On the way to Cape Town with my father one year we ran into one, could hardly see where we were going it was so thick.
