Part 2 - Picking up
Didnt have a proper map, so ended up holding a piece of paper over my laptop screen and tracing out google maps with a pencil
Sleep deprived, anxious and armed with my hand scribbled map, I was downstairs ready and waiting for delivery at 9am sharp. Minutes passed by and we started mistaking cabs for my Murcielago. Two phone calls for reassurance and about 35 anxious minutes later the car arrived.
The car looked absolutely amazing on first sight. I love black wheels on a Murcielago but thought our car would have silver. For bonus excitement it turns out the car did have black wheels - suited my mental dream car image perfectly.
The driving lesson
I was stressed out. My brain couldnt deal with the crazy excitement, risk, cost and ridiculousness of what I was doing. In my breakdown state I Jumped in the passenger seat, signed my credit card away and then it was time for a driving lesson.
This consisted of me taking the drivers seat while the owner showed me how to use the e-gear system, electric roof, mirrors etc followed by a drive around the block. The initiation made the whole situation even more surreal - I was about to be let loose with a 500hp bright orange supercar after being shown how to adjust the mirrors and drive around the block.
We pulled back into the TI driveway, the owner jumped out and car was all mine.
