Finally done it!

Hello All
I had been after a FFRR for months, reading all about them and swotting up on them.
Finally persuaded the missus to go and look at them in the garage around Xmas when I got a day off and she wasn't too impressed.
Lets have a look at 'one of them 7 seaters' she said - so we did and that was when I realised I wanted a Disco and not a Fat Un and turned my attention to them, reading about them to try and get genned up.
I fancied a D4 but couldn't really afford one but after reading peoples opinions on here and the number of D3 owners that had traded up or was looking to trade I thought I'd try and stick it out until I could afford one.
Well the time has come - picked it up yesterday.
Santori black D4 HSE, Ebony interior (more kid & dog friendly) with 20" alloys, privacy glass and TV/RSE for the kids and missus when we go off on our jolly's with the caravan.
First impressions - love it Very Happy Very Happy
Trouble is I already started looking other bits I fancy for it - more dosh Crying or Very sad

Well done, similar spec to mine but different colour ! Thumbs Up

Would be interested in your early experiences with 'setting off' from busy junctions, ie when the need for speed is a must, and quickly !?

Here if you haven't seen it .......

Hi Peely -
I cant say I've noticed a problem - certainly quick enough for me.
Mine is a 59 plate 6 speed auto though and not the same as yours (I think?)
