Title: Yippee, New Owner
Post by: mrsmr2 on May 15, 2004, 18:54
Picked her up last night.  Followed by a steady trip of 180 miles home.

Spent today playing: hard top on, soft top up, soft top off, air con on.

Car has now passed 700 miles so it's now time to add more (and more) revs.

Absolutely fantastic car.

Chuffed to bits is a bit of understatement.

And, the sun is out   s:D :D s:D  

Does it get any better?

Welcome to the club, and welcome to the joy and happiness that you will have, flipping excellent weather to be getting a 2!

(I am very jealous at the moment with this weather).

Oh in answer to your question "does it get any better"...wait till you hit 1000 miles and can really open her up! VVTI!

Welcome to the Club! Have you done the 700 miles since you picker her up??

And just to echo Craigs statement, yes it does get better with VVTi (Very very tempting isn't it)

If your anything like me you'll be accelerating just so you can go through the VVTi 'moment'
