Finally, Friday should be a nice day in Torbay. I popped by to sort out a few bits and spotted two white 2008's parked up, unregistered. Is one of those yours spinner?

Not sure possibly, I popped in yesterday to sign paperwork etc but don't pick mine up until 3 next wednesday.....when you pop in have a look to see if it's got a reg number on Friday and let me know...can tell you if it's mine then....they did say that they have a few going out this week and next of the 2008 so it can only mean good things for the car.

I will have a look for sure.

I believe it is mine thats there as the garage emailed today to say it's arrived so may have been the one that you saw along with yours.

 

[Clive]

I will have a good look, we are there at 11 tomorrow morning. It looks like we won't be spending too much time loitering outside with the weather forecast

Sure it won't spoil your fun, enjoy the car it's ace

We got it and it is a fantastic car. I have had several brand new cars in the past but this tops the lot.
My only disgruntlement is it won't recognise my iPhone via usb.
@SpinnerUK: We looked about whilst there but there were no other 2008's to see I'm afraid.

Glad you like it. Looking forward to getting mine on Wednesday. Already have a USB stick full of music at the ready.

No worries about looking around I know it's there and all booked for Wednesday so all good.

Will probably see you around next week as I'm always all over the bay.

The iPhone is compatible via USB. You may need to plug it into the other port (if you have 2). It sometimes takes a couple of attempts to get it to register for some reason. comes up as a ipod and then you can access the songs at each level. You can also access music via Bluetooth if you pair the phone to the car.

Cheers for that. No sat nav so only the one USB port but I will have a play tomorrow and see what occurs.
I set up the Bluetooth connection but then thought if I connected via usb it may display the album artwork. Since I actually read a page of the bible that came with it, I discover that you only get the artwork via a usb stick, or something like that. It works well on Bluetooth so I am happy enough.
So far (30miles) still going for the traditional handbrake but otherwise I have familiarised nicely.
Really, really glad that I listened to my wife and didn't get a 3008!

 

[spinneruk]

Why do you say that Clive about the 3008 ? the wife would like one of them at some point.

 

[Clive]

Purely an aesthetic reason for first, then the abnormal tailgate, the more confined feeling in the front seats, and I see them in every street corner. I'd have a 3008 over the Qashqai or Renault thing though!
