For those of you haven't been on scirocco central....
Picked up the roc today, woo hoo! This is my 3rd new car so the novelty of collection is starting to wear off a bit and to be honest i miss my mini a little. Waited for the last few bits and pieces to be done on the car (sills, and pedals were fitted), had a nice chat with some of the guys at the dealership, signed all the documents and handed my money over, then jumped in the car and set off home....
Kept my right foot on a tight leash and made sure not to exceed 3,000 rpm on the way home but did notice how well the car picks up in 6th when pulling out to overtake lorries, this was when the first big cheesey grin crept across my ugly mug!
Cheesy grin number 2 followed shortly after when i realised every other car that passed me had onboard someone doing a serious amount of rubber necking! Also quite a few cars were slowing down to cruise along next to me and take a good look.
When I test drove the scirocco i was more focussed upon how it drove than anything else but on the way home I starded to notice just how great the attention to detail is on this car, there are so many great features. Anyone noticed that the caps for the headlight bulbs have the VW logo cut into them?
I got home after about a 30 min drive and things got better, my mats and candy monster stickers had arrived :clap:
Gave the Roc a quick wash, went round the block to dry the brakes off and then took a few pics. Have sat in the car most of the afternoon fiddling with buttons and have fallen in love with it already
here's some pics of it looking tasty :yummy:





















Sorry about all the pics but thought some of you would be interested in the mats :yes:
Maybe I'll debadge the rear tommorrow
