[The Compensator]

:lol: Nice one

[Ryzza5]

Was surprised to see another Golf the same colour as mine (it was a cheaper model though) parked near my house yesterday:

 

[The Compensator]

Which one is yours? :lol: With mudflaps?

[TIMELESS]

His is the plastic-less one :p

[GTAMADDOG]

I followed one almost indentical to mine on Friday, only difference was the other one was a five-door. I quite like the five-door, it's a bit rarer as well :p

 

I wonder if they do a "My Peugeot Goes Dagdagdagdagdag" version of the stickers Mb linked to :hmmm:

[Camel]

Well I'm starting to feel comfortable driving the new car now and it's even more fun than before!

 

It handles so well, it gets around corners the Mazda understeered around easily with no hint of understeer at the same speed. The Mazda was great to drive, but this is by far much better.

 

Some of the features I can remember in the car are:

-Premium Sony 9 speaker system (it's very good :))

-DAB radio

-Cruise control

-Keyless entry

-Power start button of awesome

-Auto headlights with auto fullbeam

-Auto wipers

-Parking sensors (very handy as it's hard to where the back is)

-Other stuff which I can't remember.

 

It's pretty much designed to make people lazy. :lol: Or just concentrate more on actually driving and not faffing around.

 

I've just noticed that my phone sucks at taking pictures in low light! he lights a the car park weren't great. :hmmm: Must get some pics during daylight, the paint looks much better than these pics show.

There are so many buttons everywhere, still don't know what half of them do. But my favourite by far is the "Ford Power" button. Don't even need a key to turn the car on. Very confusing when trying to turn it off sometimes...

Hopefully if I remember I'll make a video of my drive back to my uni house on Thursday.

[Sponge]

Beautiful car! Very envious of you!

[Baldy]

It's very nice!

[superhyper]

Beautiful :)

[killalldude]

New Camel to tote you around town I see. Well done Mellors, I approve the replacement. :cheeky:

[RX_37]

If it's designed to make you lazy it just makes you less involved in actually driving, not the other way around. Which most new cars does.

[Ryzza5]

Nice one Mellors

 

 

Which one is yours? :lol: With mudflaps?

Duh, the one in MY driveway is MY car :fp:

 

Mudflaps = less dirt on the back of the car, so I don't see why you guys don't like it, they're barely noticeable.

In your opinion.

Hardly, mine has cruise control and when I use that I end up paying more attention as I don't trust the car, which is great as I'm paying more attention and not speeding!

I know how you feel. At work they hand me the keys to a new fiesta or a focus or a MKZ or anything with a push button. Your so used to keys you get in and, you're like Derpyderpderpderp. Then Ohhh wait i'm stupid *push*.

[The Compensator]

Nice car! Shame you didn't get xenons. It's a big improvement over halogens ;)

[Ryzza5]

They're very expensive though (roughly $2000). A friend of mine bought a damaged VW to fix up and the xenon light replacements were very exp. :)

[Camel]

For Xenons we needed the model above which is the best one they do and that would've cost about £3000 more. Can't really afford that and imo there's not an extra 3k's worth of kit in it.

[The Compensator]

Oh, I see. So there are different specifications :hmmm:

[Camel]

Yea, we have the Titanium which is the 5th or 6th one up and second only to the Titanium X.

 

And I found a new menu in the driver display panel, it has traction control. :eek: Very fun with it off. :D Managed to get between 60 and 80mpg for a few miles too on a flat road. But then it goes to 5 or below pulling out of junctions. It just will not do slow.

[RX_37]

No fueldriven car does slow. Cause then you're basically standing still and still using fuel which equals 0 mpg.

[Camel]

:oook:

 

As in pull away steadily from a junction. Could do that fine in the Mazda but the pedal in the Ford is completely different(hard to explain) and I either pull out too slow or too fast. It's perfect for some of the local 5 lane roundabouts. Local council :rolleyes:

 

I'll get used to it soon enough though.

[TimBud]

Took my car for a wash a few days ago

 

[Flo]

a big american car ofcourse :lol:

:jk:

 

nice ride tim!

[TimBud]

Not that big, but cruises real nice... especially with the auto box. ;)

 

Intend to import it to the UK when we leave the desert, and will sell it to some 'wag' in Essex. If all goes well, won't lose any money on it either :)
