welcome mate :bye:

if the color of the leather is your only negative choice, your doin pretty well. although light colored leather is crap to keep clean if you have kids.

yeah .... that's the reason..kids....the light colour is all around so it means I'm asking for trouble....but mind you no audio controls on the steering for the 2.5i is also the negative but I'm being lazy now....sports pedals ...well I'll just go and buy a set....but the performance!!.....darn it....if only they offered it in black leather too....

coz I'm going through leasing.....but to throw a spanner in the works...the Mrs was chatting to her workmates and they suggested the GT!!!!

it was a compromise to the 3.0R (similar power yet less on the fuel consumption) ....I didn't really want the turbo and the insurance hike....but since the Mrs suggested (I actually like all the inclusions ie SI Drive, MOMO steering, paddle shift, passenger power seat, audio controls on steering etc etc) MUHAHAHAHAHAH

Hopefully, my jaw won't drop when I get the quote back from the leasing company......i might have to work as a gigolo to cover costs hahahahaha j/k

I have my fingers crossed.....but what's everyone's thoughts on theft with the GT, B spec...etc

hi all

just an update from me....somehow I've ended up with the GT spec B :grin:

long story ...

GT not available till early may as I wanted sat nav and in the steel silver...

alternative ... well you guessed it GT Spec B...earliest late March :glare: !!!! for steel silver and navi :fool:

otherwise only option is Diamond grey with the navi late Jan....

I'm still a little shell shocked that the mrs ended up approving the spec b....family car and it goes!! with all the nice bits too!!!

will definitely post pics once i take delivery.....can't wait 3months!!!!!

And the spec B (either the 3RB or GT) come with charcoal coloured leather instead of the ivory. Problem solved!
I just leased a diamond grey 3RB with satnav. The whole family love it.
browny

I know...no ivory.....muhahhahah

the only downside to the 2.5 GTB is the missing VDC....

browny...let me know how you go with the fuel consumption.....

nice one.

put up some pics when you get it.
