Well....
To say it's a joy to own and drive my dream car is an understatement, however there are a few things that become apparent - but more niggly than anything.
Im not scared to floor it now....but there has been a "brown pants moment or two" when the car tramlines at times...WHOA!!! but i expect that's just down to having WIDE tyres....brakes aren't sh!t but seem to just about cope with my driving although i still dont drive HARD point to point....to be fair i live in london and to get above 40mph anywhere is a rarity these days.
She makes lots of noise on start up not bad noises - just lots of whiring etc- feels quite jerky in first gear (when cold) and the throttle is super sensitive at times but then dull at others. on to this Cambiocorsa thing! Still haven't quite got the knack of reversing SLOWLY and gradually...it's like the clutch engages sharply ON/OFF and when it's ON she flies backward....same with being in first gear and trying to park or move forward slightly. She's very ON/OFF in that respect. but i suspect it just takes more getting used to how i need to drive the car.
Very Thirsty car...thank god it's a weekend only thing...in fairness it's not too disimilar to my Fiat coupe 20VT so no BIG surprises there - still getting used to the attention it gets/i get fromt he public. Not sure if i like/dislike it yet but i better get used to it!!!
Is there a better software update for 05/06 model CC's? mines an 03 plate but 04 model....has small aerial on the roof.
All in all im still in LOVE with the thing!!!
oh one more question - where can i buy the F1 Pump relay from that's about £8 (the Afla one)?
That's it for now......more to follow
