I've got some more pics I'll chuck on some other time just for viewing pleasure :-D

Colour is superb, even better in the flesh. I'm going to put the car in to KDS Keltec for a full wetsand, get the paint like a mirror then properly sealed and protected - I'll wait until the spring to do that though.

30,000 - leather is in perfect nick although dealer could have done a better job on the drivers side as it's still a little grubby.

Remember that when I say that this is form a guy who's just bough a 3 year old car and expects it to be exactly like a new one with zero wear :-)

I pretty much got what I expected so very pleased :-D

thumbup Top Man.

I was soooo tempted to go for an M6, but felt it was just a bit too big. (No the largest of chaps).

Does this mean all future posts will be in the same style as Deristrictor now?. wink

Dubbs, do a write up please mate.

I want to know what you think of this car. How do others react to it? What's the speed sensation like? Have you nuked any chavs in Corsas yet? etc etc

I'll do one after this weekend as I'll be able to chuck a few more miles on... at the moment it looks lovely on the drive :-)

The engine sells thecar, if you like the 6 anyway, which I always have since seeing the 645 then it's a no brainer.

Reaction? In the short trips so far I've had a young kid stop on the pavement and just stare open mouthed and carried on watching me drive all the way out of sight (wasn't even hooning so he just stared as he knew what he was looking at I guess - good lad! :-) ) I've also had a young lad excitedly pointing things out on the car to his other half who was clearly not at all interested... he then got in to his 57 plate e92 :-)

SMG takes some getting used to but it's a learning curve and knowing it's a good system means I'm willing to spend the time to master it.

Weather has not been M button friendly... let's hope for sun come Saturday!!
