Cheers guys. It really is a fantastic drive. I live in the Highlands and I was heading home from inverness and the road is rather twisty in places. I was taking it easy because of the whole run in thing but with some of the sharp corners I was amazed. It is like a train on rails....... It stays planted. No need for Revo or bluefin (even though I was thinking about it) because it already pulls and my fear would be it would upset the balance of the car. The extras I got that I am very very pleased with regardless of price have to be the Xenons, 510 with dynaudio and the leather. The Xenons really light up the way and especially the verges and with me being in dear country it is a must. The 510 is great. In my old car I had two cases of CD's but now I have my very favourite six in the auto changer and my iPod with everything else. No more pissing about!!! The Dynaudio I can't fault either.... I come from a family who are famous for spending stupid money on in house music systems (my brother with his Art Deco 20's for example) so I myself and they have a keen ear for whats good and although car systems will never be perfect this is as good as it gets. Now the leather.... I'm not compairing to the GTI's cloth because I haven't sat in them but compaired to my Recaros in my Corsa VXR they are at a different level. They don't hug as much as my Recaros but after say a two hour journey you would start to get abit restless and look forward to a good stretch but in these after my one and a half hour trip home I could of kept going and going. They were just like an armchair at home once I got the electronic lumbar set correctly :grin:

Oh well that is just abit of a quick mini review of my car to keep all you August waiters droolling at the mouth til you get yours. Like me you might not be all that excited going to pick it up but once you get going on the drive home or a wee road trip then the excitement will kick in.

Well guys I am sorry to say that another of the August waiters has collected and I hope you don't get to upset over my nice wee picture. To ease your minds a little it is actually worth the wait like everyone says. I wasn't all that excited when I went to collect but when I started my 70 mile drive home it was a fantastic buzz the whole way. All the best for your deliveries guys. Can't be far away now



Lovely colour and discreet really suits it  :cool: :cool: NOW ENJOY !!

We need more pics its the law  :grin:
