Get out my car :P

I agree, the arches look massive in Misano, it just looks plain mean.

I'm well up for another Silverstone trip Brooner :thumbs:

Couple more incase you forgot what they look like :wink:

Misano is outstanding - bit of a police magnet though.

Bit of a double edged sword really - gets noticed so likely to be spotted and tailed - but not exactly a discrete get away car for thieves!

Can't bleedin' wait now, it actually hurts :D

Which dealer did you get it from Ben? Was it a cancelled order or just their allocation that hadn't sold?

According to what I was told, Somebody had ordered this car, but then changed his mind and decided he've rather have a Cabrio. As you do.

Of course, it could have been because of the dent in the bonnet, but they've probably fixed that now...

Picked it up this morning, lovely job.

Seems a shame to have to run it in :P

Got 27 MPG though!

Does this DIS display anything to do with the parking sensors? I'm sure I once saw an S4 with this...

SS Plus feels like you have too much air in the tyres! Knowing dealers, there probably is :wink:

Cheers all :D

Health to enjoy Ben..
DIS is not connected to Parktronic, and mine is similar to others I have read about which triggers the rear sensors for no reason from time to time.. will get it sorted soon.
27 mpg is good, mine was giving 25 at 85 mph on the motorway when running it in, will drop soon........think mine reads 23 now!

Thanks chaps :D

Shame there's no visual representation of the sensors.

Another quicky, what's that GDL knob thing for by the light switch? Not had time to read the 330 page user manual yet :D
