General Picked up my new car today

[sharpyboy]

Picked up my new car today It was relatively painless lots of paperwork to be signed and the only thing wrong was the "special deal" they did for the gap insurance had not been added but after it was pointed out it was quickly sorted. First impressions on driving was very favourable it felt even better than the car i used for a test drive, quite a bit of road noise on the 16" alloys on certain road surfaces but seemed to handle even better than i remembered. I was expecting to have to change my driving style to accomodate the smaller engine size than i was used to but was pleasently suprised. I love the interscope but need to setup my eq settings the way i like them. Like others have posted the non cancelling indicators caught me out a couple of times but i will put up with it...

Here are a couple of photos taken on my iphone so sorry for the low quality...






Will do better piccies over the weekend....

My car was built and in the country at 8 weeks and i picked up at just over 10 weeks. Not a good experience as i hate waiting for things but after the first two weeks i tried to forget about it and tried to learn about the car by asking questions on this forum and it helped a lot to while away the time....

So not as long as some of the others on here then! They told me it would be approx 12 weeks but hopefully it may be sooner then! Might even have it in time for Xmas!

Sharpyboy, do you know if you have the MY10 2010 model with the Rear Anti-Roll Bar (RARB) fitted ??

Could you take a look?

If you have the ARB (and I doubt it....) you'll be able to see it quite clearly. Here is a picture of the rear of the 500c and you can clearly see the rear ARB.

 

[akertoe]

what is ARB? and do you think i will have it when mine is delivered? Due 3rd Jan 2010

 

[remshall]
