Absolutely right: 450 only* to UK in total - production begins next month in Leipzig with full UK release in May 11.

Gotcha, I read it as a diagnosed DV prob.
Anyhoo, your description got me thinking of 'RS's' post from the other day:

Could be miles off, but is it anything like that?
My bold - give you a clue about the manual - TTRS. Your pricing on paint is out and it is not limited to 400.
Edit: and why not post this in the RS3 thread where all this has already been discussed...loads. :yes:
...they don't. ;)
But I know you will try any excuse to crack out the chinos, Hilfiger shirt and jumper tied around the neck. :p
