It's finally here! My Orange GTS AT!

Initial impressions are, I LOVE THIS CAR! The auto is fantastic and it handles like a dream.

Draws wayyyyyyyy too much attention though, however this could be due to the colour as well. I actually found the audio system to be very good, but then again i'm not a car audio enthusiast.

Either way, i'm happy

Looking forward to bring it to some meets and long cruises






Very quick happy snaps on my iPhone in the driveway. For those of you who are waiting or still considering whether you should get one or not, trust me. It's worth it!

As great as this car looks in photos and videos, it's really quite impressive in the flesh.
Considering you'll probaly get yours tomorrow night, can definitely have an Orange meet!

I drive a black one, so I am more stealth! Or maybe it's just me not noticing!
Funny thing, one lady waved at me showing me the speed limit (which I was driving with) telling me that it applies to me too. Hang on lady, I am driving with 80 in a sports car and believe me is no different than any other car: it is the same speed but thanks for the heads up!

Congrats on the car mate! Enjoy and let the modification start. No, dont try to resist it!!! I tried, but I couldnt resists. Just think of them as something you NEED! Not want ))))))))
