More pics of a Rising Blue are appreciated. That's what I have gone for, but I'm waiting quite a bit longer yet :(

I'm so blown away at how the Rising Blue Roc looks in the flesh - totally stunning. The pictures just don't do it justice, so I'll try and get some more professional ones done when the light is better :)
I'll spend tomorrow getting to know all the features and settings, and driving around a bit... :clap:

Many thanks Trix and RW1 - it's been a long 7-month wait (to the day!), but well worth it!
