So after placing an order in August I am finally back from abroad and have my hands on the car. It has been sitting in the garage for a week since my wife collected it last weekend.

Haven't done mayny miles yet, but initial impressions are very good and why oh why did I not get the heated seats....leather is sooooo cold!!

As a typical man I did not touch the manual and got straight in and started pressing buttons! A few things I cannot work out, so will have to admit defeat and look it up!

My favourite feature is the advacned key. I love the start/stop button and just being able to walk up to the car and get in.....I still try and take an ignition key out everytime though.I am sure even I did not have this I would be looking on the wrong side of the steering wheel for the key!

Car feels very smooth and bumpy roads are fine even with the 19" wheels. It also appears to be very responsive and even though I have kept below 3000 rpm it feels like it will be quite nippy.

Must now get some music on my 4GB SD cards and work out how the rear headrests come out, because the car seat currently is pushing on it.

Car will be fully detailed on Monday by a pro, so will post some pics up after that.

All in all so far a very happy chappy :biglaugh:

Superb looking motor there- Phantom Black looks so mean (when it's clean) :D

One thing I'm wondering about now- does the B8 have the twin tailpipe one each side option and if so on which engines, thought the 2.0T would have been included as my B7 has this, loving the chrome tips though.

The 6 cylinder models and 2.0T avant have one tailpipe each side. Must admit I do prefer the look of this to mine!!

Very nice. I so wish I went for those wheels now. Everytime I see one with those 19s I hurt more inside and kick myself. Looks like they will be a nightmare to keep clean tho! You will need to get some wax/sealent on them quickly this weather
