yes i am guilty of the following since yesterday:

1) taking the long way home
2) enjoying scraping the ice of the windscreen
3) enjoying driving to work
4) getting the change up light to come on
5) grinning from ear to ear
6) loving the noise, when i put my foot down, when it screems up to 6k, then the change in note @ 6k up to ....

its just brilliant. cant wait for the road trip on sunday.

ah, roll on lunch time....

the only annoying thing is the radio makes a beeping every now & then when its on DAB - anyone know how to get rid of this? its a woodstock.i know i shouldnt have it on, but on the m way & stuck in traffic its needed.its off when on the A/B roads!

It is the Traffic Announcements function on the DAB radio. Just turn it off. Those stupid head units are still being churned out with this fault?

He likes snow cones?
Perhaps he put a letter box sized scrape in the frost so he see what a Elise/panzer hybrid would feel like then shouted "schnell" and "fire das big gun" all the way to work.

i scraped the ice of the windscreen, then realised the lights needed doing. as i was scraping them i just appriciated the beauty of the lines and the design of the lights even more.

cant wait till spring when this cold stuff stops though!

Taking the roof off and having your head above the Winscreen gives a similar effect

Whimp - you bought a soft top car, use it as such. In your case, when you get it back.

I love reading posts like this. There's nothing better than that "it's all mine" feeling.

Enjoy!
