Default Picked it up today

The V8S that I test drove on Saturday that is. Drove it home in house kitty mode since the boss was with me. After I dropped her off, my oldest daughter got in. We went for a ride through the mountains in Holy **** mode. The roads were a bit damp but OMFG! This thing is really the tale of two cars, a civilized cute cuddly kitty and a raging wild animal that only wants to get you arrested. I love it!

Played with the stereo. Absolutely phenomenal - not a hint of the issues that some have had. Got startled by the ECO turning off the engine, but it restarted just like it's supposed to. Looked around in the boot and found the battery. Also found a battery tender. I now know where the previous owner lives, because it is still in the Nav. system. All I have to do is figure out how to put my home in the Nav instead of his - I'm sure that it's in the owner's manual somewhere.

Thanks for this great forum. It was a real help before I bought. I'm sure it will continue to be as I own.

love the enthusiasm and the joy! It truly does have two natures, not unlike its feline namesake I suspect. Many happy years and miles.
