Hi all
Great forum !

Got myself a 2007 2.0ltr convertible a week ago on Monday. :dance2: ( bit of a mid life crisis thing)
Unfortunately I picked it up in pouring rain (About 80 miles from home) and haven't had much chance to open the top since.
It was a bit scary to drive in the rain as i'm used to front wheel drive cars and I noticed the back moving a bit when accelerating .
I guess i'll get used to it
I plan to fit 20mm extenders on rear wheels and 15mm on front as others have done on the forum.
I has a bir poplar dash and is Monaco blue in colour.
It has a sat nav which pops up but the format is a bit dated. I don,t know yet if it can be updated but will look into it .
I love the look and have seen some beauties on this forum.
Anyway , thanks for the forum and I look forward to entering some conversations once i've had it a while .
 
Welcome to the Forum. The Car can take a bit of adjustment after FWD. You soon discover that the twitching at the rear is where the fun starts, it's not a monster in the boot. :wink:

Get out on some dry roads when you can and get used to many smiles per mile. :D
 
Hi, welcome and from which part of this vast land do you hail from? No wonder everyone thinks Scotlands a village hardly anyone says hi from the part of Scotland they are from

Hey no probs. Ah Forfar been there a few times.

Ah not far from me at all and even closer still as I grew up in Longniddry, the next village along. Small world!

I am quite new as well and have only been to one meet which was the run out to Skye for a couple of days. There was quite a few Scottish forumites as well as guys who had travelled quite a bit further. Had a great time but I have missed the last couple due to work.

Craig3.2 organises a lot of Scottish meets and Paul1000 does a lot in the North East. Hopefully I will get on the next one that either organises but organised hooning season is over I think.
 
Just saw the pics and she looks good. Must be well pleased and hoping the half decent weather continues!! :D :thumbsup:
