Re: She's here!!! *grin*

My lovely new car was delivered at lunchtime :-D I'm so pleased with her already! I've taken the afternoon off to go and play in her but have popped home to change and to post a question about her on here (I'll do it in a seperate post).

The delivery man called me first thing to tell me he was on his way, and he said to me how beautiful the car was - and that his 18 year old daughter had fallen in love with it and now wanted one!

Anyway I'll take some piccies and get them up here once I figure out how to do it! Not that I guess you need to know what a 500C looks like - but it'll be *my* 500C

<nostalgic sigh> I remember that feeling, lol. It seems such a long time ago now but the 500 is still working it's magic.

Congrats to you and Hanikins on your new guys.

Edit: Ooops! I see that yours is a She.

Looks awesome! you must be thrilled. I never knew about the brake light on the roof and that it moves down with it! clever stuff

 

[MetalPetal]

Totally thrilled! I'm even looking forward to a three hour drive to Sheffield tomorrow so that I can enjoy her for that long I've just downloaded the EcoDrive software onto my usb stick so that I can see how economically I manage to do it too

Thanks for moving this post Lloyd - and doing that clever thing with the pictures!

Just one thing I would say. Personally I wouldn't go for a long drive on the motorway so soon after getting the car. Cars are best run in around town at varying revs. Sitting @ constant revs on the motorway so soon in the cars life won't do it any good IMHO

 

[MetalPetal]

Hmmm yes I did wonder about that - but not much I can do as I need to get up there! If anyone's got any tips about how to drive that distance in such a new car, would be much appreciated!
