Your car does look very smart, im really impressed at how nice it looks!!! It looks a little basic and boring inside, but comfy none the less. The  will add that little sporty feel!!! You must remember to fill the  up on petrol though!!!

Oh my God, what a day. I got the car this morning, drove away at 10am and went for a spin. Got to my Dad's to notice there was no tax in the window! Back to the dealers for it, the salesman said he had been calling me since I left the car-park. I told him my phone hadn't rang and then realised I'd left it in my Furby when I parked it up! Good job, someone would've nicked it.  Got home for lunch and began to tackle changing the bulbs - 2 hours later I'd finished!!! I'm not going into the ins and outs but that is THE most awkward job I've EVER done on ANY car. I've got cuts, bruises and blood blisters all over my hands. Unknown to me to begin with, I had to get the clusters out in order to change the sidelights and that is a joke in itself! 'Roadside Emergencies' the handbook calls it, the only roadside emergency that'll occur from attempting that operation is a bleedin' on-the-spot skin-graft! Anyway, I've chilled out now and my new bulbs are in, I'll consider changing the fog-light bulbs when I'm next due to lose my sanity.  Just come back in from a serious drive and the car is SO sure footed, it's a completely different drive from the Furby. I'm having to re-adapt my driving to compensate going from mid-range grunt to high-revving power - I'll get there. Forgetting the headlamp nightmare, I'm over the moon! Filling up at the clean pump is a pleasant experience too...

I'm well chuffed with it. One of the other bonuses is the QuickClear windscreen, what a Godsend! Leaving for work this morning at 5am and it was frosted over completely, press the button, wait a minute and hey presto!  I used to just sit there shivering whilst I had the blowers on full blast at the windscreen, but as the air was still cold it used to take about 10mins or so. I never use de-icer as it rots your window seals and can damage paintwork, I won't use a scraper as it scratches your windscreen and a kettle is a complete no-no, unless you want to call out AutoWindscreens to fix your freshly-cracked one!

Sounds like an eventful day there Liam. I hope those bulbs don't blow, touch wood. Great to hear you're enjoying the  and that didn't fill it up with diesel
