Looks great. What does wee bing think of the new ride
His grin was the match of mine, especially when I turned the car round in a junction, booted it and did a wee wiggle up the road (note - no other traffic on said road, on either side of the white lines...). We had a father/son grin fest 8)

Xenons made a lot of difference I assume?
Yes - though I think being able to see more makes it scarier.

Bing how's the change from Auto to Manual?
It's ok, easier than I thought it would be changing back though I've not done a commute yet. Though that 1st/2nd change has me baffled occasionally, and I have had one or two kangaroo moments in 1st. I just need some practice to get it smooth. The change doesn't feel like anything to do with the clutch (so CDV will not alter anything), it must seems to be a characteristic of the box. The worst thing about it is that my driving position needs to be different to the auto, so I am back to tweaking the seat settings every 10mins to find the perfect position.
Left leg isn't sore, but it definitely feels exercised.
Oh, and I tried the Sport button. In the wet. As you do. Pure silliness - switched it off again after about 50 yards of traction control disco on the dash. I'll have a play in the dry, but with so little experience of the power it was like sticking a red hot poker up the ass of a cheetah at full tilt
