Some four months after the order was placed, the Amuse group buy participants received our new ultra-bling extra-lightweight toys yesterday. Sparky2000 managed to get his installed same day, but Fletch and I weren't far behind and I think JMP's goes in for it's service and exhaust installation tomorrow.
The first thing that struck me was just how light it is! It arrived in the back of a very large courier's lorry, in a big cardboard box. It looked like it was going to take two grown men to shift it - instead, the courier guy lifts it up in one hand and carries it into the garage for me.

Then again, what else would you expect with Amuse. Only the best!
