And welcome

Many thanks to all for the warm welcome
To join some dots....I purchased the car from ML & relates to an old thread 'Apparently sold' & a new thread today 'Anyone know this car'
Picked the car up late this afternoon & had a rather nervous drive home in the dark & rain
ML prepared the car beautifully & now sadly it's dirty
The weather is supposed to be better tomorrow, so hope for some playtime
My son thinks I should name the car Mjölnir "Thor's Hammer', which seems very apt i.e. Mjölnir is depicted in Norse mythology as one of the most fearsome weapons, capable of levelling mountains

Washing session this morning, as so dirty after drive back from ML down muddy waterlogged roads....feel happier now that we have become a little better acquainted & started to bond, but it needs cleaning again....loads of rusty water coming from new vented rotors & making wheels yellow....any ideas as to how to stop or do you think it should stop naturally after a while or in dry weather!?!?
Beginning to get the hang of driving & starting to play with the gear shift settings, when I get a bit more confident I'll take the stabilisers off!!!!
Digi is right about the SMG, in that it'll take a bit of getting used to, as very different to the s-tronic/dsg in a couple of my other cars....but like it & adds to the 'unique specialness' of the whole package
Haven't turned the radio on yet as can't get enough of the sound of the percussion section of the orchestra x10 coming from under the bonnet!!!!!
