Hi,

Just thought I would share mine and my girlfriends new car...currently had it about a month and a half and it is a joy to drive. Never really been into the big cars but once we had a test drive we couldnt resist..I say we.....my girlfriend has wanted one for years so we took the jump and went halfsies.

Plans are in the future to get it detailed by Rich H and then get a LPG conversion to make it a bit more sensible.

Pulls like a train and nice to dwarf the Q7's and Ranges. Probably doesn't look that large in pics but with it being over 2 metres high and 5.7 metres long.

Do feel a bit bad about the ozone...so keeping the Corsa and Tigra as a run around

Insurance is amazing around £500 for a limited to 5000 miles a year.

I am 28 and my girlfriend 26.

One embarrasment is have to use a step ladder to clean the roof and the hood (front and rear)

Looks mint. Would be the biggest ass-ache ever to drive around my way tho. The X5 was bad enough.

Yeh not re-taken any pics yet as want it set in a nice location and not had chance....been to busy driving it around

looking at around 20 grand for a good spec and condition although can get some for as little as say 12-13 grand.

SRT's are stunning and can only imagine the sound it makes.

Before we got it I couldnt believe how large it was....however now its surprising how you get used to it.....The single cabs looks really tiny now.
