Hey folks

Here are some first pics of our new MC auto. First 200 miles now under its wheels, it’s a totally fab little car, and doesn’t drive so little at all. Very impressed.

No rattles, and it’s an absolute delight – great! After a couple of days’ busy-traffic commuting, plus a slightly longer run, it’s showing around 37+ mpg, which seems a good start and bodes well for improvement once it’s loosened up a bit more and been on some longer trips. First impressions of auto box? Excellent. Works really well, and probably the nicest small-car auto we’ve tried.

So, really pleased with the car, and dead chuffed with the colour – hadn’t seen the blue and silver combo in the flesh before ordering, but IMHO it’s turned out every bit as cool and smart as we’d imagined! But we’re totally biased…

Interior pics, full spec and more comments to follow.

Cheers
S

Guys

Many thanks for all your comments!

Have now clocked up first 1000 miles and totally enjoying it

. Well, apart from one occasional rattle

that arrived after a very bumpy stretch of road. It's only a quietish kind of rattle (a kind of fluttering noise), but will get dealer to check it out soon.

Car is getting more free-reving day by day, and the grin factor just makes driving more fun!

Looking forward to seeing the other LB & silver combos on the road - Tilly, the silver vipers sound great!

Thanks to everyone who suggested that bi-xenons were a good idea - they are!

Sorry, been having too much fun driving it to take any more pics, but will try to soon.

Thanks again
