dsan Member 60 Member For: 22y 6m 17d Location: Maitland, NSW Posted 02/06/04 12:59 PM Posted 02/06/04 12:59 PM I picked up my Mandarin T today and I have to say:OH MY GOD, HOW GOOD IS THIS CAR!!!!!!!!!!Words can't describe how, when you put your foot down, it really digs in and drives you into the back of the seat! I've never driven anything that came even close to that feeling.I don't think it has really sunk in yet that I actually own this awsome machine sitting in my driveway, it's not a test driver or a friends car.I have been driving it pretty much non stop since I drove it out of the dealers yard at about 11:00am this morning and I'm VERY happy to say I haven't heard any clunks, knocks or whines.I don't think I'm going to sleep much tonight, my heart is still pounding from my last little "squirt" :lol:

Guest anycolouraslongas Guests Posted 02/06/04 01:48 PM Posted 02/06/04 01:48 PM another lucky bugger - good to hear. Tell me something though - are the window controls illuminated?

dsan Member 60 Member For: 22y 6m 17d Location: Maitland, NSW Posted 02/06/04 03:07 PM Author Posted 02/06/04 03:07 PM It looks like the window controls are NOT illuminated. I think that may be a mod I'll look at doing later on...On one hand it's annoying when trying to find the right window control in the dark but on the other hand, with the climate control, I can't think of why I might need to open a window at night... oh well, something to think about...

Guest SV8VY Guests Posted 02/06/04 09:59 PM Posted 02/06/04 09:59 PM :D Yep a good feeling when buying a new car you have wanted for a while.I suggest you grab a chair and just look at the detail some poor beggar has been working his arse off to make and design.I also suggest you take many pics as it is only new and shiny for a little while and add an image to the pc as a wallpaper.mmmm new car smell
