I normally dont post neither look into Luxury segment of What Car forum, but this thread is really something special. Its indeed the mother of all upgrades!

I hope mods add this thread to the Hot Threads section in the home page of T-Bhp.

Congratulations on your buy, and hope to see an ownership report from you soon

Congrats bro on buying the epitome of luxury on wheels. This is one heck of an upgrade and shows the love we team-bhpians have for cars.
Wish you a wonderful ownership experience and a million miles of joy, happiness and luxury !

Yep Andro this has been a mightly twist in the tale was not active on TBHP for almost a month and rechecked on this thread for an update to your earlier plans expecting a very different segment purchase and was pleasantly shocked to see the change in plans.

Congrats. Yep the Laura is/seems safe when it works and the S is of course the leader in that manner.

Thanks for your good wishes everyone. Got the car home two days back. Have been busy so could not get time to update the thread.

Will do an initial review during the weekend. I wish I had a tripod and a very spacious front yard for a photo shoot - not to mention a darker color on the car!!
