The Viper has landed!

Oh boy did this turn some heads up my street yesterday when it was delivered!! :clap:

Fantastic car. Took it for a spin yesterday and boy does it shift!! It reminds me of the Rock n Roller Coaster in Florida, when it first 'takes off'. Like being shot out of a gun lol :eyepop: .!! Very impressed and its everything we hoped for. The temptation to put your foot down in this thing is overwhelming.

As for the colour. Well, I know it looks lairy, but everyone who's seen it says it looks great (even the postman!). Maybe they're being polite I dunno, but I had reservations about ordering the Viper but my missus, as usual, was proved correct. Its stunning. I like the white and the black, but now I've actually seen one in the flesh (we hadn't actually seen a viper other than in a magazine prior to it arriving yesterday!), I can't imagine having it in any other colour. It really shows off the lines a treat. Sadly the pics don't do it justice but don't worry, if you live anywhere in the South East you'll see us coming from a mile off!!! My neighbour put his shades on before coming to view it :D

And thanks to the guys who posted the 'delivery checklists' on here, came in very useful. Sadly we ordered electric driver seat and it didn't come!! But to be honest, we think we can live without it (how lazy are we!?), we're just so blown away by the car and excited to finally have it that it could have come with no seats at all and I think we wouldn't have minded!

Amazing colour. The guys in the office who all drool over mine all say they like the Viper too! Know what you mean about having to keep it under control and not thrash it - the 2.0 Tsi is fantastic. Enjoy every monent of it. And just try keeping it clean - I was lucky that we had the heatwave i.e. no rain, for the first week after mine was delivered!

Yes that was my missus, she was too excited to drive it for the first day!!

But she gets to drive it to work each day wheras I have to take every chance I get!

Been stopped twice by people asking what it is already, once at a petrol station and then yesterday whilst stuck in a queue at the Blackwall Tunnel!

Your car deserves a better camera though! Tried to sharpen it a little bit: :)
