That’s why heated seats are so important :wink:

I was a bit reluctant at first - i thought a pair of gloves was a better option - but on reflection it’s a must have toy!
I would make sure the box is ticked on a future car :thumbsup:

ronk,

On my new one Ron, part of the comfort package :thumbsup:

Have to say it wasn’t something that I thought I was that bothered about but was on the demonstrator and I really liked it

    Re the tech, did you get sent anything electronically by the dealer to explain it all? I’m asking because I did this morning, along with the invoice balance :cry: and can send you that to peruse at your leisure
    Yes I got that and there is a traditional style manual too.

    My very first sports car was a 1966 Alfa Spider (the boat tail one) and that was so much easier to master as it had no tech in it at all

    A blue one passed us on the M74 today heading for Glasgow, thought it may have been you Andy, or do you still have a week to wait?

    And slightly further down the road was a new grey Supra on the hard shoulder that was on the back of a recovery wagon when we were coming home.

          As I said I’ve never had one and wouldn’t have known I’d want one but now I’ve tried it it’s something else I’m looking forward to having

            I took the easy route there Sean, I just ticked everything so I won’t discover something I wish I’d had later. The only option not on the car is the anthracite roof as it didn’t go well with the black wheels and mirror caps etc,
