I just had to take some shots of my beautiful new toy before I went off and got it all dirty!

Yes very nice shot indeed, I had intentions of doing something similar around the bridges where I live but its far to windy to head for the shore up here in Scotland.

I saw this pic earlier on in the day @ scirocconet, how do you compare the forums, I find on this one there is a lot less repetition and clutter for that matter, what do you reckon?

Hi there, thanks for all the kind comments. I never thought of myself as a decent photographer but the 'Rocco, the sun, the snow and the magnificent Yorkshire Moors helped a great deal. Just glad that people liked them. I do have some others taken at the same time but I haven't had chance to get them online yet.

Rehmondo - yes, I am on the scirocconet forum as well, that was the first one I found when I was trying to find out about the ipod connection and the daytime running lights. You are right though, there is a bit more repetition there than here but let's not get too competitive here, after all, we all have one thing in common. I don't think I have ever been so full of praise for a car before!

Still battling on with the dealer about the ipod cable, am supposed to be calling in on friday morning to pick up the "correct one" (their words, not mine). The phrase "watch this space" springs to mind.

Thanks for the heads up about the use of the photos. It definitely is mine. Any idea where they are from? Don't want to cause any bother or anything like that, just curious.

BTW, I note your location. I'm an ex-Headington-ite, although you wouldn't guess it knowing my current location, but what's your history? Did you go to school there?
