Afternoon guys, I've just placed my deposit in this beauty and just wanted to say hi and look forward to becoming an active member of the group. Whilst the car is a little older on a 61 plate its only got 18,000 miles and 2 previous owners so in immaculate condition. Hi to all and apologies in advance for some potential daft questions lol.

Thank you. 36 hours and counting. Have already bought a set of winter tyres for my trips to scotland :-)

Think you may need them with this weather lately

Hi gents,

 

an update on collecting the car yesterday from Sandhurst and the 240 mile drive home.

Cant stop smiling and absolutely loving the ease with which it eats the miles, the quality of the ride and cabin environment and the economy. Coming from the BMW owner experience for many a year I did feel the MMI was unnecisarily complicated though.

Ive washed the car this morning and can't find a mark on the 20k miles 5 year model. 

There are two niggles I have though (1) no where to place the locking wheel nut as I can't find anywhere to put it other than in a piece of cloth in the spare wheel well and (2) I have inserted a CD into the drive and can't seem to eject it no matter how many times I press the eject button. Will have to put a post on the technical section thinks.

Any way I'm a very happy bunny.
