Precab Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Well after a weeks delay, I finally picked up my new cab this afternoon. After months of soul searching over the colour and spec, I’m very pleased with my choice. Dealer pic attached, and a couple more to follow. Initial impressions: - the ride is much better than I expected. Even on 18’s with the lower rider height, it’s still smooth with only the occasional really bad surface causing any problems. It corners flat and true, so overall, it’s a good compromise and there was no need to be concerned. I’m very pleased to see it came on P Zero’s as I’m a big fan of Pirelli. Surprised to see a full size spare in the boot. - performance is good considering I haven’t really thrashed it. Once its on boost it really picks up nicely. - the heated seats are a must. They really do warm you right through and I had to turn mine down to 2 because it was too hot (outside temp 16 degrees) - the standard stereo is really good. The Bose might be better, but this is more than enough for me. - the exterior colour is striking in the flesh and its nice to be different (am I the first on here with Alpaca?). Just need to keep it clean now. I’ve stocked up on Zaino Brothers so I’ll be giving it the full treatment next weekend. - the black half lather seats are really comfy and, with the alu trim, the interior looks the dogs whatits. - on the negative side the plastic trim behind the self dimming mirror that covers the wiring is loose and keeps working free . Hope you like the pics . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 That's it then Precab - name change required now! Looks very nice indeed. The wheels do look well, as Cab_Lad says. The whole car looks good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Hehe.... and do you have a deflector ready for the winter too! ...although I often use the deflector up with windows down in summer too... gives a nice gentle breeze at speed without giving you ear ache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
