Scirocco Central

Well I had to drive nearly 60 miles to the dealers, then after around 10 mins of driving home the heavens opened Even hail at one point! Typical, it's now filthly

But anyway, I'm over the moon with it... it's just as good as I remember although the driving position is a bit different and not perfect, but still good.

Here is the car upon collection... Couple more when I got home so now dirty ...

... This is an example of how dirty it is Then coming down stairs this evening, I couldn't believe how good it looked Gonna go out later for a drive at night, but I had a few stabs on the Throttle and a smile appeared on my face everytime - I'm loving it

hi mate

Nice looking car you have there

got mine today and had the same problem - its all nice and streaky now....

Well done mate. It's been a long wait
Now get out there with the autoglym!

Congrats, stunning choice of colour btw

Thanks guys... Such a nice feeling that it's actually here after the long wait

Will give a little write up soon

Welcome aboard easybreeze it's been a long wait for you mate - enjoy!!!

indeed, thanks

Congratulations on your new toy!!! Lookin' good. I tried a few stabs on the throttle on my way home too, such a great pull even without revving it

I've managed to keep the revs below 4000 and have just turned 1000 miles, so I reckon I'll be letting rip up to the redline soon!
Enjoy....

Let us know how you find it! It pains me to put more miles on the clock, it still has less than 100 but after Reading your post it gives me reason to get up to 1000 miles

I've just passed 200 miles and I'll be winding it up this weekend. I don't think I'll be getting up to the red line but I'll certainly be over 5000rpm a few times in a cross country run to my parents. Lots of overtaking places. I'm not going to pass up the chance to see what it can do in sport suspension and full on paddle shift attack mode

Couldn't resist, I gave it the gun a few times on the way home from work this morning Nuff said

Around 5000 rpm it gives you some seriously good noise and pull, can't wait until the engine loosens up a bit too, it will be even more awesome! I'll have to carry out some more investigations on the characteristics of the car over 5000 rpm, just for research purposes of course...

Kev - what was on the clock when you picked it up? My last car had 85 miles on it when I picked it up, admittedly I knew they drove it from Southampton to Poole but it had done a few more miles "for a brand new car", than I was expecting.

Always nice to start with about 10!

It was on 33 miles when I collected.

Mine only had 12 They were going to deliver it but I wanted to go and collect for that reason

Just had another little blast

Mate it's time to change from "I have ordered a" to "I drive a" in your profile now

congratulations and enjoy. just got mine last friday and up to 450 miles now.... 550 to go then even bigger grins
