Looks great mate. Hope you have fun with it but just be carefull on the roads at this time of year as BEC's are a bit skittish on damp roads.

Love the reg number.. YAK!

Nice car. About the reverse thing, fit a winch in your garage. Saves weight when you are out and about!

Pull the garage towards the car.

Nice car mate, bet you're well chuffed

Not that I have much experience in these but maybe wait until you've had a few months experience with the car before deciding on the reverse. Try and get used to pushing it backwards (it should be light enough to do).
Is your garage on a hill that makes it more difficult to push? A winch does sound like a good workaround.

Anyway, enjoy the motor!
