Default My new Mod Blue Baby - Pandora

Well here she is and I am so happy. I had a nice 150 mile drive to bring her home, so a really long day. Thanks a lot to Simon at Wessex (Scrogg), awesome service, thanks a lot, really appreciated.

First thoughts: The car doesnt ride hard at all (not compared to my previous cars), I find it quite bouncy on 16's actually, I really enjoyed it. I love the diesel engine and is really nice on the highway, great for overtaking. The interior is amazing and the black leather/black ambience is really nice too. Steering very light and direct.

Very funny watching poeple overtaking me and pointing at me and the car. If I got a £1 for every person who gawped at it whilst I was on the way home I could have filled the tank up with diesel a few times, easily :-)

Very ecstatic, looking forward to having more drives over the weekend and have a nice play.

Hope you like the pics.

Really nice motor, you sound very happy with it! I think it looks really smart, liking the wheels too. 16's are best IMO!

It was my pleasure, and was great to finally meet you today.

I'm so glad you're happy with it and enjoyed your long drive home

Will have some more fun with it this weekend. The car is worth every penny for sure and feels like quality. I averaged 58mpg which isnt bad considering it was the first real drive of the car, very impressed.

Tomorrow will play around with the radio and blue and me. Hopefully get my sub fitted soon as well, so I will be rockin' even more :-).

The wait was agonising but definitely worth it

I dont think you can get the interscope sound system fitted at the dealer yet so I have bought an aftermarket one for £100 and will cost me about the same to get it fitted under drivers seat. I will be very happy with it because the system as standard is not bad anyway actually.
