I'm back. I friggin love it.

Did all checks, got everything I need. All is well with the car.

Was funny though, while I was doing my checks 2 guys were looking at the car, peering in the windows, one of them tried the door and was gonna sit in it  :grin: Erm, this cars sold, its mine. The poor guy couldnt say sorry enough then started talking much I paid for it and would love one.

Anyway, misses took it home and weve just been playing in it, going through stuff and basically checking it out to find where everything is. My head is still in the clouds. Totally forgot to take pics in the daylight, but to be honest, by the time I left the dealer the light was low and it was not really ideal conditions. So I thought bugger it and took one when it was getting dark  :grin: Sorry that they are crap, but just taken with a rubbish iPhone camera. I'll add it to this thread but will make a new thread tomorrow with proper pics.

Just a quick few thoughts. I had forgotten really how good this car is, the interior is the dogs danglies, at night there's more illuminations than Vegas and if you have not specc'd your car with dynaudio, shame on you, its absolutely genius. Also, Why when sitting stationary at lights, does it say I'm doing 6 mph ? sometimes it says 2, then sometimes 3. Its weird.

p.s. This car is a proper head turner, lots of attention.

Nice, Kev...

The iPhone camera is actually not bad... You car looks great although a daytime picture would be excellent...

Have a good rest...

Wishing you a good ride tomorrow!!

Oh dear, get it back Kev its fecked.
Seriously though, where does it say that speed? On the main speed dial or in the MFD? As I thought the MFD only displayed KMH as the secondary speed.

Lovely kev, hope you enjoy it

I though the mfd display changed to some daft fuel consumption readout when stationary ?
