Well mate for what its worth I love it, you will always get the purists who like them standard, I don't know why though there are not many people who have left them factory standard but that of course is their choice.

I certainly would not take to heart what has been said as rightly or wrongly people are people and if we were all the same it would be a f***ing boring world and we would all be driving fords

I can assure you heads turn when you drive down the road for all the right reasons
