A mate used to have one of those - looked exactly the same as yours I looked like a right idiot getting in and out of it, had to put my hand on the pavement. I mostly fell out Inside they sound like you're going really quick but then you see the speedo and realize you're not. You can also have a bit of fun in the wet & snow.
Gone Audi mad!

This one has new falcon F1s all round and running just around 100hp. It won't see much snow I imagine as we are lucky enough to have a few more rugged vehicles knocking about to use in the snow.
Anything remotely different will stick out round these parts so should get a bit of attention.
Looking forward to taking it around the beauty spots here.

Just to update. We got home with it from the uk today. Nippy little thing. So far we have found that with use of the paddle shift along with throttle control we can shift gear with a tad less shift lag.
Just over 33,000 miles. A tidy car with very clean paintwork and wheels.
First job will be to learn the cars little traits I think. The roadster forum is helpful with some good how to guides.
Brake pads and a system bleed will be my first job I think.
Engine management light came on after a couple of hundred miles this morning but I could not find anything wrong and it has drove home sound.A roadster forum search beckons.
Looking forward using it in the spring on our weekend camping trips.

Thanks guys. Gill and I have perfected a roll in roll out of the car method with the seats pulled back. I now understand how Barmybob ended up rolling around the pavement when exiting a roadster.
Its a funky little thing with a feeling of speed. Pulls well in 3rd & 4th and is fun. Like Fiat coupes it needs to be regularly driven to have it running well.
