woo hoo its arrived and i love it.

its got loads more features than i was expecting, so i've been busy playing with all the buttons. the mirrors pointing down when reversing, all the light menu's etc.

I'm loving the handling, we have these funny butterfly juntions out here, which are normally a pain in the ass.... but today, they've been my own personal test circuit.

the engine isn't quite as punchy as i was expecting, but i'm taking a little bit easy for the first hundred kms... i'm sure it will come into its own. I'll upload some pics, but it looks the same as everyone elses when it comes out of the showroom.

I was promised it tues (didnt arrive), then Thursday (the government car registration computers were down, yeah right)... and finally got it on saturday night. The saleswoman was a bit miffed when i ticked poor in the delivery section of the customer survey... hey ho.

First mod, an arm rest.... it was a 3month wait if i wanted a factor fitted one.

Hi Karl!

Good stuff - glad you're enjoying it!  Things should loosen up nicely.  I've got 7,500km on the clock now and I'm thinking about getting a remap - upto 245bhp costs about 4,400AED which looks like good value.

i've got a run down to abu dhabi tomorrow, so that should help loosen it up a little.

Hehe!  Enjoy, but check the speedo all the time as I've learnt not to just sit back with the stereo up with those pesky radar cameras hidden behind palm trees!
