The wee grey roadster is home. The thing is just huge fun to drive.
Had the top down for most of the afternoon yesterday and today, was a bit cool (around + 4) but the heater breathes fire if you want it, and the butt warmers are there too.
And fack... why didn't i buy a car with a manual transmission sooner?
Anyway.. i gots one now and it's a sweet one.
Awesome weekend.. weather a bit chilly, but sun is shining and roads are clear...
Here's a few pictures from drive yesterday:

One annoyance.. the Command knob has a button at top that is sensitive. Resting your arm on the console to the left of the shifter results in you inadvertently pushing that button... frequently... Annoying. Weird thing was this didn't happen on any of my two test drives or the 15-20 minute drive i had at dealer last week. I'm hoping it was because of my fairly heavy leather coat I was wearing this weekend.
Managed to put on about 240 km's over the weekend. If the onboard computer is accurate, the mileage is amazing. It is showing 7.9 l/100; on a green engine, and me driving 'enthusiastically'. I've limited myself to around 4,500-5,000 rpm's for the break-in, but i haven't babied it. Pretty great f/e.
Also need to give it a proper detailing... f'ing dealers are useless. There's a lot of swirl marks visible, so assume they just quickly washed it and then sprayed it down with a quick detailer. That will have to wait for it to warm up though.
