VROOOOOM

New car is here finally! All shiny and new and pretty flash for a skoda, they've really improved on the interiors since the last one. Haven't quite decided if i prefer the new body shape to the old, but it looks good ;)

Only had a quick spin so far (thanks to non-broken leg now being all wonky and achy), but it's smooth and seems quite nippy. The tiptronic gearbox seems like fun to play with too, tho a bit slower to react than a manual. It'll take a lot to beat the previous one tbh, because that was so much fun to drive, but will take it for a longer run tomorrow and see how it goes.
Most importantly tho, YAY MOBILE AGAIN!!


Just some quick shots taken with camera phone...

Shiny!

I know it's not what you really wanted, but I'm glad you've got some freedom back.

*hugs*

OOOOOOOOhhh GOLD FAAAABIAAAAAA!

(and you can get a manual in the future. This will stop you murderating people)

It's actually silver, it just looked goldy in the sunlight I think. Might try and take some proper pics with the real camera later ;)

Yay, shiny car! I bet it will stay reasonably shiny for at least a WEEK :p

oh, and in other news: It is starting to look very likely that I will be popping up to Belfast with work on Thursday or Friday :D Initial estimate says for a day or two so will probably end up being 3 :p

And they are still talking of sending me into the oven which is Athens on Wednesday next week. And maybe directly to Milan after that. My poor bf has given up on making any plans which include me and are further ahead than a day :p

ooh, yay! Do you have my phone no? If not, poke me online ;) I have the car now and if my back stops giving out on me, i should be able to drive up and see you ;)
