Thanks everyone

It's awesome! Drove it 150-odd miles home yesterday, and it was an absolute pleasure to drive. It's filthy now though! I think some mudflaps will be going on the xmas list, as the backend was unbelievably dirty! I also need to get me a bootlight asap.

First few things that I need to get used to though:

It has an odd 'bite'. Ive managed to stall it about 7 times so far! I have come from a 1.6 Ford Focus though, so its bound to be different.

The Blue&Me doesnt like my playlists on my USB stick. I suspect there are spaces in the filenames, which the manual says is a big no.

My iPhone address book copies across, but it only seems to copy certain numbers, with no real rhyme nor reason as to which it picks. i.e. I have a contact with about 6 numbers. It copied 2 numbers for that contact, neither of which were 'mobile' (default) or 'home'!

congratulations! Glad some one is as happy as I am! I ordered mine today too, 1.2 Lounge, in cha cha cha with ivory - very girly I think (according to the husband!)
Its very exciting isn't.
Mine is coming at the end of Feb pick up on 1st March for the new 09 plate!

Hey Elaine, nothing to apologise for, in fact your post was more on topic than 90% of the others on the site, (read 99.9% for mine.)

You also deserve a pat on the back for taking the time to read through old posts (it does become addictive, doesn't it?) as the previous post was 2 months old. (I was going to say Last Year to make it sound longer ago lol)

I was laughing as I soon as I knew what I had done! Although reading this post I must admit that tomorrow when the dealer rings me I will asking for mud flaps too!
thanks,Elaine
