congrats on the new car.

the CC clutch lasts longer than you think & itsn't as expensive as youd think to replace. Just be decisive when you prod the throttle.

These cars can run the battery down if not run frequently, I have a trickle charger which I use to keep the battery topped up every few weeks or so. The car also has Navtrak with ADR. You may need to pay the subscription on this service which is £295 as it expires yearly and I think with change of owner.
