Default a very happy new owner!!!

dear friends,

i am a very happy new owner since 14:00 hrs today.


delivery was very smooth, and the ad offered the hood aerofins
and the first service for free, to compensate for

aa) a late delivery (car was booked originally to be delivered
end may early june), and

bb) forgetting to order the car de-badged (which he actually
did in-house).

all other ordered extras are ok, paint and electrics are also fine.
bluetooth works perfect, and sound is excellent (audio 20, looking
sufficient to me for the time being/not a big navi fan here anyway).

to be honest, i thought that my emotions would be flatter, but
when i saw it be driven in at the delivery room, i was so very much
excited, and still am...

delivery, including paperwork, lasted about 45 minutes, and was
very explicit. it was conducted by a mechanic who was very
friendly and with real overall knowledge...

i will take it out for a ride, and will revert with some photos during
the coming weekend. for the moment i have to sit in office...

thanks to all for keeping me wonderful company during the waiting
time all previous months.

kind regards
ir-ops

Congratulations Ir-ops. Get ready to clay-bar and "seal" the paint while it's still new. I believe AutoGlym or Zaino will work well on a black car.
