What follows is an updated timeline of the major things that have happened with the car, from the initial order being placed through to my current ownership, encompassing everything from upgrades to MOT test results to major tours and trackdays as I do them. Most entries can be expanded for more details.

Where an expanded entry has a corresponding blog entry to read more about the thing, you’ll also find links back to those.
