To be honest I haven't actually driven a Tr7 yet I bought it as a project but drooled over them as a kid, I'm hoping the summer of 2015 is realistic but you can't rush these things my 8 year old son loves it and I've promised I'll drive him to le mans in it for the race so I better do it properly!

You've got to watch those kids.

They'll extract all manner of impetuous promises from you, then expect you to live up to them.

Welcome, good luck with it, & do remember you are having fun.
