Talking Backdraft to New Zealand

Hey you BDR guys,
Well I finally went and took the plunge. After many months of scrolling through the Club Cobra forums researching all of the makes avaliable ( and fifteen years of drooling over Cobras ) I am soon to be the PROUD DAD to a Backdraft Cobra.
One of the final processes in the decision making was looking for a manufacturer with a really strong dealership network and more importantly in my case listening to you guys rave about your experiences with the Backdraft brand.
And how COOL is this. I am going to have the first and only Backdraft Cobra in the New Zealand. I have ordered my car directly from the factory in South Africa - sorry to you yanks, but you've put the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car.
One thing I would like to say is the experience I have had with Tony in South Africa has to date been nothing short of fantastic. Talk about go the extra mile for a customer. I can not talk this guy up enough. Even though I am just a single purchase and considering NZ is a million miles away from tonys traditional marketplace I can tell you this guy could own the book on customer service.
Anyway I'm EXCITED. My car is going to be ready just before the end of May and I am travelling to SA to see this marvell of human ingenuity on June 3rd.
I would like to share some of my build photos with anyone that is interested so if someone can explain to me in detail how to get photos on to this forum I would be grateful for the advice.
I expect to have delivery into Nelson, New Zealand around mid to late july which unfortunately is the middle of Winter, rest assured a little bit of cold weather, nor a bunch of wild horses, would stop me from going cruising.
Anyway thanks for listening to me rave on, and if any of you cobra conisuers are in my part of the world at any time come to Nelson and see what it is like to drive on the right side of the road - in a cobra of course.
I now look foward to many years of Cobramania.
