Proud father of 2.0cc SE - Delivered Mar 28th 2002. Silver with black leather interior. Bought tax-free as i'm Armed Forces serving in Garmany (Hannover Airport). Weather here at the moment is BEAUTIFUL. Had the top down every day so far!!! Just one moan....the gear knob is f***ing freezing first thing in the morning!!!!

Hi Greg
congratulations on the new delivery!!! glad the sun is shining for you as it is in Brum at the moment. As for the cold gear knob. I wear a glove rather like Michael Jackson (one hand only) until it warms up!!!!!!!

Congratulations on the new car.

Beware of that gear knob in the sunshine too. It can get incredibly hot if you don't park the car in the shade. Last summer I used to drape a cloth over it so that I didn't burn my fingers.

I've changed the original knob with a Momo F-16 knob with wood and aluminum, feels and looks great...

God, i hope she's not a lemon....only time will tell. Still not got a clue if the roof leaks as the weather is STILL stunning...saw a cloud in the sky earlier though...i think it heard me growl at it and disappeared sharpish...
