But the real question is - Will it be there by Oktoberfest?

And your new license plate should read - Mach Schnell (translation for us = Make/go Fast)

Congrats on the purchase you will have crowds around you where ever you park it.

Herby.

Having shipped one oversees myself I know how it's been for you waiting on that first glimpse and the thoughts of possible damage on the journey and the hope that it was all you expected and hoped it would be.

You got a good one so congratulations.

Drive and enjoy.

Stuart
