Sorry, I have seen this thread lots of times, but just had to put my first post up. Picked her up 2 weeks ago, and for once can't wait to go to work cos it means driving the new car. Still surprised how load it is everytime I start it up. Even my mate at work talks about the grin and I've only taken him out once.
Already used the site for information, which has proved invaluable, and will no doubt be asking for more advice as I have to park it on the road and some fr has already smashed the wing mirror off, which I read can be a bit of a pain.

As a newbie also, I must agree, the noise, pointless revving and a grin from ear to ear. Absolute heaven, by the way I think I will divorce my wife as she called it "just a sports car" - change of life perhaps. sorry about the wing mirror I hope the culprit gets what he/she deserves.

don't apologising for posting...



you'll just have to rationalise the senseless jealous recriminations.

It's a karma thing, don't forget, they'll die first having all that screwed up hatred inside.

Someone spat [yes I couldn't believe it either] at the door while I was at a pub and it ruined my drive for about 5 miles, till my lovely wifey snapped me out of it.

Life's too short - if it comes to the worst we've got insurance, that's what it's there for.

Welcome to the happy club...

Thanks for the welcome. Have already got the broken tripod piece to fix the mirror, so gonna give it a go this weekend. The tape over the hole is looking rather unsightly.

Are you aware that the mirrors fold back flush (ish)?
I wasn't until I knocked it by accident. Now I always fold them back when it's parked.
BTW Some twat dropped an ink bomb on to the passenger seat while I was getting a takeaway
Good job I'd just treated the seats with Nixwax (Great stuff)so it just wiped off

You can buy the new wingmirrors for around £70 - can't remeber the place, but they are originally from a Citroen CX - so most Citroen parts traders will be able to get hold of them. You will however need to have it painted.

Hi Dan,
Sorry to hear of your mirror problem.
I see you're in Wiltshire - whereabouts?
Take a look at the Wilts Region site, www.tvrcc-wiltshire.co.uk , you might like to come along to a meeting sometime, we'd be glad to see you.
Paul
