I am pleased to introduce Roary (A500) Scotland
« on: August 09, 2011, 10:48:49 PM »
Here is Roary, as named by 2 year old daughter (hoping she is basing this on the tv show). Anyway we went for a spin out in him tonight after dinner. Came back dropped the Mrs and kiddie off then back out I went, just this minute back Home and what a wee head turner and what a rocket. Car is not bad either :P

No regrets from trading in the 3 series, brother said he now wants one :)

Pics are from my mobile, hoping to get some better quality pics up over the weekend.

Looking good, your red with black was the first combo I was considering.  Ended up with campovolo grey and red stripes.

Roary's little Journal
« Reply #9 on: August 11, 2011, 06:32:43 PM »
Hi,

I plan to do little odds and sods to Roary, however in my opinion he is perfect the way he is :D . Thought I would just try and maintain one thread and see how that goes. This could be more a less a little journal of sorts for Roary.

Anyway were on Day 3 of driving this menace its been real interesting and I am still grinning.  Day 2 involved a diesel spill all over the round-about it was so bad you could smell it, 2 cars spun out [retty much at the same then Roary slipped a little but still maintained his cool, I however I could have done with a change of underwear.

He has pretty much also been the talk of the work place and I have been getting lots of nice comments and questions.
 
I have not been in a car that has made me smile so much.  I have been in a few very nice cars in my time but this little guy knows how to make you feel the love.

A few nice we things heading our way, but all in a matter of time

Today was a great day, basically these arrived and look amazing (Thanks to Mrs for gifting these to me x):
