Personally first thing I'd do is wash it

Myself, I would go to a local petrol station with a jerry can and get some petrol.
Then when your out for a drive, you need to find a quiet spot and pour the petrol into the car ( making sure to soak the seats) and throw a match inside. 

But on a serious note, they are fun to drive and I'm enjoying every minute of learning new things about the car .

you've got break down cover right? possible things that could go wrong would be the the clutch pedal snapping, engine mount pins if they werent replaced with the cambelt and limp mode depending on pack recall and whether or not youve had it already
