Absolutely love the car but it's already in need of a wash after driving through filthy weather.
Oh well, I suppose I'd best get used to it.

In that case, I spotted you

If the DRL's are side lights and dipped beams, then whats the point in having the auto lights? If theyre always on, then surely they cant be automatically turned on???Im confused

Next up.....Scirocco

well in that case aswel as mats I got 3/4 tank of fuel too! Paul was a real star right from the start with me, very kind, friendly and didnt dismiss me because of my age like my local place did! Once my car arrives he'll be getting a very big bottle of whisky, and maybe a spin in the rocco' as he re...

Yep, got mine free too. Anyone else getting/got as full tank of petrol too?Or is that customary standard with a new motor?

Seems a bit pricey for an ex-demo!

I was very close in going for the green.It tempted me alot, but black had to be the one in the end!

Ferrai 456 gt estate?? I didnt know ferarri made estates (untill now) just googled it and theres somethign strangely attrractive about it! I saw a lamborghini murcielago on the way to manchester yesterday. Why was I going to manchester? To order my Scirocco of course

Iv not opted for one, I decided that the price to functionality ratio doesnt weigh up. If it was a bit cheaper I would have got one, as mines comming in black so it would have blended in nicely. Fair enough, it lets more light in etc, but I cant justify paying that much for it.

2 reasons really. Firstly and the main reason, is becasue Im re-joining the army, I'll be away for the next few months dong training etc so theres no point in having it really, secondly it also gives me time to save up and put a bigger deposit down. The 09 reg is just a bonus

Hi guys, Im ontop of the world!! Just got back from the deaer and my order is in! I'm pear black, DSG, black leather, dynaudio, winter pack, flat tyre indicator and mats (dealers throwing mats in free :D ) They've guestimated it'l be delivered about JAnuary, But Im not going to pick it up untill Mar...
