Good stuff jasey you'll love it. That's me had mine almost 4 months still big smile on my face. Thinks it's looseing up a bit too. Keep a eye on your brake calipers as mine have all discoloured only use acid free wheel cleaner so don't know why. You enjoy it mate

to be honest I've given up trying to get a decent deal out of the Aberdeen stealer network - too many oil rich knobends walking in paying pretty much full retail
Made a weekend of it going down south anyway - And the dealers seem much nicer
Picked up my 35iS from Ridgeway Hampshire last Thursday
Must have come in on the same transporter
He might be my car's brother.
Admittedly I only had to drive 12 miles
Awesome machines
Enjoy!

Lovely car and lucky you what a great first drive. Wouldn't Broadspeed trailer it to you? We bought our 330d via the internet and it was trailered from Cardiff. We are having the same fly problems, really noticeable compared to our other cars. Anyway enjoy and will watch out for you when we come north

I quite look forward to picking cars up in England and bringing them up the A68 .
I should have taken some more photos - but it was foggy in Hull and I was just enjoying myself too much
Up North - furry boots are you ?

We love it around Aviemore and are looking to a trip over 1/2 term in October. It'll be nice just to take non-motorway and enjoy the trip rather than get there as quick as possible.
Enjoy your new car

Once you get north of a line from Newcastle across the UK the roads become pretty much awesomecaliforniagirl wrote:Ok can see your point, but not much fun in the drive to Hants from Cardiff err M4!!Jasey wrote:Yeah they would - but where's the fun in that.californiagirl wrote:Lovely car and lucky you what a great first drive.

Mind you I've herd Wales isn't hard done by with great roads - feel a trip down South West coming on next year maybe .
The car just gets better and better - For the size of the engine and my lack of control in terms of pressing the loud pedal I'm pretty surprised at the fuel economy .
Also glad I specced up the professional speakers - when I'm just ambling along the sound is great .
So far so good

This blind summit (2nd one in the clip) on the A68 was great in the 35iS - As the nose starts to go over the top it's a very odd feeling.
I might have been going slightly faster than the guy taking this video :

You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.
