Collected my new Candy White Scirocco this afternoon - pics

[autofocus]

Hi there,

After about 12 weeks of waiting I collected my Candy White Scirocco 2.0 TDi GT Manual from the dealer tonight.

The car was parked outside of the showroom and look stunning, my business partner was blown away and thinks it is great.

Drove the 50 or so miles home with the cruise control set at about 75mph on the dual carriageway.

Still can't get used to it being sat on the drive, can't wait to drive it to work again tomorrow.

Heres a few pics













Glad I went for the de-badge, people can't tell its a diesel now

Regards

Tim

why did you go for the TDI?

Hi there,

A couple of reasons.

1) My previous car was a Smart Roadster Coupe which over the last 70,000 miles I have done in it has averaged 54mpg. Should get a better mpg from the diesel Scirocco than the TSi.

2) I am a director of the company and as such need to be relatively responsible when it comes to expenditure etc, the diesel Scirocco works out about £35 per month cheaper on Contract Hire compared to the petrol plus the other two directors have 2.0 diesel Audis so it fits in with them.

Hi there,

Yep the 170PS version has just been released, was not available when I placed my order though.

I have to say so far the 140PS is more than adequate.

Nice Galaxy! The "no hubcap" look really sets it off

Hi there,

Its not a Galaxy, far to common . Its a VW Sharan.

Might pop over to ebay now actually and order some new trims.

Very nice Tim! That'll be easier on the ears at speed than the Roadster!

Have you got rid of the yellow coupe then? I was hoping to read your thoughts on it as you passed the 100k miles mark...

Was sat next to a friend of yours in his LP640 today He mentioned he knew someone with a Roadster.

Hi there,

No still got the Coupe, just turned 117,000 miles

Think I am going to keep it for a bit of a fun car, bit reluctant to part with it, 70k in approx 20 months and I have sort of got attached to it.

How was Mr George, hope he was ok.

Regards

Tim
