Thought i would include my story for the day.
For a start they had a midnight launch that i could not go to but on Facebook they added some pictures and one of them was mine sitting there in all its glory. Looked amazing and just got me even more excited to pick it up.
I woke up around 6am Tuesday morning like a child on Christmas morning! It was raining and really horrible day to be fair. Got ready and then had a lift from my parents in their Jaaag with my girlfriend.
We set off around 7:20 to Kings Lynn for a breakfast before picking the car up at 9. Once breakfast was over i could not wait to get going! We arrived at the dealer to be seen straight away with a nice can of coke and refreshments for the family. Did some paperwork but most was already done.
Now it was time to unwrap the car! Obviously i already knew what it looked like but pulling the silk sheet off but doing this just made the whole thing for me. It looked stunning sitting there in the best colour (in my opinion) nardo grey!

So with the keys in my pocket i sat in her and started her up in the showroom. It started with a great roar and echo and my face must of looked like a cheshire cat! It was time to take her out for a spin! I drove out slowly and hoped i didn't kerb the alloys on the first corner coming away from the forecourt.
It was still raining at this point but we still took a trip to the car park of B&Q to sort ourselves out (didn't want to sit there at the dealer doing this) with both phones paired up and figuring out a few small things we went on to Hunstanton that still had bad weather so onward to Cromer we went! Used the sat nav but it took us down single lane roads with mud EVERYWHERE and even some times i had to get on the side to let others pass... Not a good start! Getting to Cromer with it STILL raining we popped in Tescos for the toilet (not due to speed ) Since time was getting on and we wanted something to eat but with the weather this bad didn't want to keep going round the coast so headed back to King Lynn for a pub meal. At this point I've have had it in comfort mode (due to the single roads) but now i was on better roads with room to run on! Dynamic mode come on and its a different car! Stuck behind someone doing 45 with cars everywhere i soon changed this with a small straight bit of road just put my foot to the floor and i was past - nothing to stop me now!
Also took the in laws out for a quick blast and it definitely still shifts with 4 in the car!
All in all the car is great and i had a great day, I've done 150 miles in it on the first day costing around £30.
Only thing i can't seem to find is the speed limit display (traffic sign recognition). I've called the dealer who is sorting this out. It's the only reason i ordered the lane assist.
Sorry for the long read.
