Less than 7 days now till I can drive away in my car! Went to see it on Saturday and here is (a very low quality) pic.

As photography is a hobby of mine, will be taking lots more over the coming weeks!

Indium definitely seems to be getting a lot more popular, although I only saw my first one "in the flesh" about 3 weeks ago.

Looking nice Jono. Although they look great in pics, I think they look a lot better in flesh.

I can't believe it's only a day to go now, this last week has really dragged as I just want my car. Still, it will be worth the wait.

Its the best grey there is in the VW range I think; I wasn't wild about the dark oak - too dark and the lighter grey - forget the name had a yellow tinge to it!!!

Im still torn between Rising and Indium but it's 60/40 for the Indium now ;-) Seen only one in person for a brief moment but it looked stunning.

I've had and love the Rising Blue - but wanted a colour change, so am collecting my Indium tomorrow.... For my money (less now I bought a new car!) they are the two best colours in the range, subtle and understated! The Indium is quite rare too - though i think it is getting more popular. I am an old git and just don't think i look right in a candy white or the red!

My Rising Blue was one of the first in the country three years ago - it was stared at everywhere I went!

I was also deciding between RB and indium. It was one of the hardest decisions I had to make about getting the scirocco as they both look really good, and in my opinion are the best colours available at the mo.

I nearly went for the RB as I couldn't see the indium anywhere, and I hated the thought of buying a car in a colour I hadn't seen. However, I am glad I went indium, and the fact that it is not as popular is a good thing for me.

I picked mine up at 10:00 this morning. One word to describe it, awesome.

Will upload some of the pictures I have taken today a bit later, but I am too enjoying my new "toy" as my other half called it!

Got mine at 2.00 this afternoon; it is a wonderful toy; somehow more sophisticated and smoother than the manual Rising Blue i left with a sad heart! But no sadness now - i am a convert to DSG already. Only used the brake pedal as a 'clutch' once so far!!!
