It's arrived..at last!!

It seems like a lifetime ago that my order went in, but yesterday it finally arrived, a Santorini Black GS!

After reading this forum, I was expecting it to be a bit special, but have to say its a revelation!

Been for three 'unecessary' drives already!

Not sure the the guy from the dealers was spinning me a line but he said its a 2009 MY - in July? Does that sound right?

He said the main changes were clear side indicators (I was just about to order some too!) and a 12v power supply in the boot. He also said 'hope you enjoy car cleaning'!

It doesn't change ... I'm 18 months and 38k miles down the road and still go out just for the heck of it. All that's changed is I used to make excuses, now I don't bother .... " just off for a drive dear " ....

Yep CG i am still just in the land of the living, all going well and actually getting some sleep, got a trip up to Scotland soon so that will be first long trip in new(ish) motor and with all baby paraphanalia, we actually thought we should have bought a disco3 with all the sh.;te we have to lug around now!!! Glad all going well with you! Gave the motor a clean last night after a couple of months of not bothering and quite miss the dirtiness of it now!!!
Still a good choice though So Simple, same as though let us know the differences!! Set low standards and constantly fail to achieve them!!!!!!!!!!!

by the looks of it you'll be in the Black VIP forum yourself as nobody else seems to make a issue out of it or goes so far Off topic

Actually there is a Off Topic section feel free to post in there Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I feel I should be defending a fellow Santorini Black member, but its been raining on and off all day and I reckon it needs a clean already!
