My Rising Blue Scirocco!

Well I picked up my Rising Blue on Saturday and I absolutely love it. Its manual with sat nav, park sensors and leather. I love the gearbox and together with the engine its mighty smooth and very powerful. The sat nav works well and automatically reroutes you in traffic and the leather is great. I have done 300 miles and its averaged just under 39mpg so you can’t argue with that. I would agree with many of the car reviews that say that the key thing with the Scirocco is that it does everything well and nothing badly – its very well rounded.

Congrats mate!
300 miles already! When did you place your order and had it been delayed in any way?
You planning to do anything with the car reg upgrades?
Has it been a head turner on the road?
PS Did you get the mats for free?

Well i was very lucky and got pointed towards a stock car. It looks great and it is a head turner I really love it. I actually bought the mats from a third party place cyber spares for £38 which I thought was good but I will let you know when i have them.

Ah no nothing is getting changed. Although it would like better lower. It seems to kick up quite a few stones I have noticed so hope the wings don't get chipped.
I have got some pics if someone could let me know how to do it?

Cool, the only thing I might get is the metal pedals, but honestly its not a priority for me.
PS I am also quite jealous!

I usually upload to flickr.com and put a link to the url, but I believe what you do is scroll to the bottom and select the second tab next to "Options" called "Upload attachment" and browse to the image - *when submitting a new post.

Congrats mate. Glad you are enjoying it. I use photobucket. Just go to website and sign up {it's free} upload your photo's then it will ask if you want to add a tag, {ignore that} save the picture. Under the saved picture you will see 4 boxes click on bottom box, that copies the link then in the message box on the forum right click and paste, That should sort it. Any problems let me know.
