Adrenaline is coursing through my body....It's here!
"Mad car"* is here!!! AT LONG LAST!
Drove it a bit today before dealer preps it and get the registration finalized.
WOW! This car is f****** insane. In a good way, a very good way. Nuclear would be an appropriate word that can be used in trying to explain what the power plant feels like. Though the more I think of it, Warp Reactor would probably be more appropriate, in a you've-overtaken-before-you-realize, sort of way. First time I pushed the pedal, I spun the tires...ooops I didn't realize it was that eager to leap away. I then saw it was in S and quickly changed it to C, then set off.
I'm still shaking from the experience. Which has been all very very good! I'll take pics within the next day or two and post them.
The Noise!
The POWER! The Handling! WOW! 
....and I haven't pressed the pedal beyond the halfway point, plus I've kept it in C, so far.
I will do a complete detailed write up once I have driven it for longer, maybe a week or a tank's worth of gas.
Overall, I believe this car will be a great daily driver! and an insane weekend blast!
* As Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson called it...and so does my wife and now also my 2 year old daughter.

Enjoy the new ride. 
If you think the motor is good now , wait till you've got a few thousand miles/KMs on the odometer. It just seems to get stronger and stronger. When I am on the autobahn, if I do not want to be passed, there are only a select few cars that can keep up, let alone overtake me. I love this car!!! Didn't Clarkson also call it, " an axe murder with headlights?"

You were right, of course!

Thanks for your support, it was good to know I wasn't going crazy!
Time does fly. I can't believe it's actually here. You were right, there is no over hyping this machine! I thought I had seen all the videos and pics there were to see and read all the write ups I could but NOTHING can prepare you for the sensory overload when you first get in and get going!
I put in some CDs and DVDs but I didn't even bother to listen to them as soon as I started Mad Car up. I slept less last night after having driven it in the day. I just keep having this urge to keep driving. In fact if someone said lets go do a 2000km drive, I'd seriously consider it. Plus I need to pass the break-in period as soon as possible so I can try the S and M modes plus full on acceleration.
Plus, A big thanks to everyone on the forum for all their well wishes and support!
First photo is attached as well. I will post more in due time. ;-)

It felt so good driving it and soooo different from the other 204 C-classes. I had driven a friends 204 C280, and I used to own a 203 C280, and his felt a big step above my old one. However, the 63 feels leagues ahead of all of them. It is just one mean machine!
