Congrats!

Best regards, south

monsta · 01-15-2008, 06:34 AM

Congrats yes pics are a must or risk being banned....enjoy it and drive safely

GeriFix · 01-15-2008, 06:47 AM

Congrats.

May you have good driving weather for the rest of the week.

How are you going to decide who drives first? Coin toss? Rock, paper, scissors?

One word of advice. Push the "power" button before you leave the dealership. In "normal" mode, the throttle seems really soft and made me feel a little apprehensive. I knew that the engine was powerful and was reluctant to push the peddle too far for fear that it would suddenly unleash a beast. "Sport" mode makes you feel a little more in control.

You are one lucky guy. Enjoy!

+1, Look forward to seeing your new gem.

Bastet · 01-15-2008, 07:43 AM

Cheers you all ! re: who's driving it first - well, that has been subject of various discussions for the past weeks. Today, however, my husband is the lucky one mainly because "I'm the best wife in the world" and I'll LET him

and secondly because I have a really bad flu so with all the painkillers I've been swallowing today I don't think it's a good idea for me to drive now

Bastet · 01-15-2008, 07:51 AM

... and YES you will get photos

although not with fantastic sunny landscapes - at least the ones from tonight - let's not forget we are in Luxembourg and the sun has sort of forgotten WHERE exactly that is

And it's a pity we couldn't go in the afternoon already, because it will be pitch black when we go pick it up and the photo quality will suffer from the artificial light

but NEVER MIND, we are picking it up tonight, that's all that matters at this point and time

Great day for you and we all look forward to reviews and pics!

the_stranger · 01-15-2008, 08:42 AM

Congrats. Have a blast.

MrHarris · 01-15-2008, 10:24 AM

awesome! post pics and a short review if you can =)

Epacy · 01-15-2008, 10:29 AM

The time is nearing...

GarryF · 01-15-2008, 10:34 AM

Must be exciting

I hope everything goes to plan

Rimola · 01-15-2008, 10:41 AM

i hate you

please post pics

Bastet · 01-15-2008, 01:11 PM

Do you guys mind if we have dinner first ?

The photos at the dealers are really crappy - there's no way I'll post them here. It was dark outside and the showroom lights reflect from the black paint - looks nasty ! Give us one more hour and you'll get some better quality pics. Here's a little teaser though

And what comes to first impressions: purrs like a kitten and roars like lion, smooth and agressive at the same time. As I said after the test drive - it truly is 'an orgasm on 4 wheels' !

- I mean driving the beast is like that... well not exactly, but you know what I mean

Epacy · 01-15-2008, 01:14 PM

Already 10mi when you picked it up?

Rimola · 01-15-2008, 01:15 PM

nothing like a brand new car

Bastet · 01-15-2008, 01:16 PM

10 km - the dealer had to go to do the MOT and it's not exactly on the same street.
