Its arrived - 61 Reg GT Dark Oak - Edinburgh

Post by JimmyBuk »

Well, after just over 6 weeks the New Rocco arrived at the Dealers on Wednesday. I couldn't resist the temptation of going to have a look at it, so I went along on Thursday and it's absolutely amazing. I love the Dark Oak, so happy I chose it.

When I got there, it was having its PDI check completed so it was in the Garage.

Heres a couple of Pictures I managed to get:

The Outside - Doesn't show the colour particularly well.

And one of the interior - still has all the protection over the seats:

I'll be picking it up on Thursday, so lets pray for sunshine, I live in Edinburgh so its never a guarantee.

I'll post up some more pictures once i've had a bit of fun.

I picked the car up yesterday. It was a long day after a bit of hassle waiting for the money to clear into my account from webuyanycar.com I finally managed to drive away from the dealers around half 6.

Then it was time for the long drive back to the parents for the weekend down in Manchester.

A great drive on the way down and already loving the Roc, easily the best car I've ever had.

Here's a pic of the car waiting for me at the showroom yesterday.

I'm absolutely loving the car, its easily the best car that i've owned. I'm really impressed with the colour, and the Fuel Economy is just something else. A bigger improvement from the Vauxhall Corsa I had previously. You definitely get the best of both worlds with the Bluemotion Diesel. Speed and great Fuel Economy. I drove down to Manchester for the weekend, i've done 600miles already including there and back. On the way back i averaged 60mpg, and only used 1/4 tank for the 230 mile trip back up to Edinburgh. I'm getting an average of 40mpg on my commute to work which is a 3 mile trip.

I dont have any plans to do anything to it to be honest. I'm pretty happy with the way it is. mnhobbes... I've looked at your thread. You've got an amazing car there. I love your alloys, think they go quite well with the Dark Oak.

Hi Gregor,

I'm interested in this, I'd be willing to pay to use your VAG com to make some changes (sweep needles, big MPH display etc), I can pay you £30-50 if you're willing to do this for me? Please PM or give me your email.

Regards.
