The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

I'm not sure mate.... I mean, what is heavy? To one person that's 10kg, to another that's 30kg. I think it's the same with the steering weighting.

Will that be 18 days since dock pal?

Hey LS, yep 18days. Actually the Sales Manager asked me if I minded waiting a couple of days longer than expected to pick her up. The request was made due to the volume of cars coming into the dealer all at once. I didn't mind at all since I've waited this long for it.

Hey Rob, even though I got the car yesterday I have not had a chance to take her for a good drive. It might be worth waiting till Thursday so at least you only have to wait 1 day till the weekend where you can spend more time in the car. The traffic is also better on weekends so better for driving.

I have only driven in sports mode, I might try the normal mode in the morning to see how that happens. In sports mode I find the steering quite stiff compared to the bmw, especially for day to day driving around busy roads and shopping centre parking etc. Maybe just the adjustments period from drivin a rear wheel drive car.

Hey DCRL, yeh Thursday is good for me. I have next week off work so I thought stuff it I'm taking this Friday off as well. She and I will have plenty of time to get to know each other.

Ooops, my bad. Signature changed.

Well guys I have her. My garage is the best room in the house now!

Managed to scare my wife which put the biggest smile on my face. Very composed for a small car and doesn't feel small on the road. Got heaps of attention at each set of lights. Maybe it was the led tails. One intersection got the thumbs up by the local plods. The car is everything you guys have already described. I understand why you really don't need viagra once you get one of these!!

Well going for another drive to see how the flapper mod sounds. Then back home to fit a few other things. To tune or not to tune.......that is the question!!
