Tomorrow I get my car. Because of the 2-hour time slot, I will bus it to a coffee shop nearby and have breakfast plus a cup of tea till I get a phone call telling me the person delivering the cars is 15 minutes away and then I'll walk up to the area I'm collecting the vehicle.
Once the handover is done I shall drive home and put everything in there from the house.
Afterwards, I might go out something and give the thing a test drive to get used to it of course.

Photos of my new vehicle. imgur.com/gallery/mx710x3The person dropping that off was a bit late but that was due to so many cars being vacuumed and cleaned where they were all stationed. Bought some oil and a car mat set afterwards from Halfords plus two seat belt protectors also. Steering will take getting used to as well as the gear stick which is different from my Renault Modus. Handling is different from my Renault when turning corners in how you have to physically turn the steering wheel whereas my Modus was auto but the engine was bigger which accounts for the notice change. Think the vehicle has only one reverse light which most modern cars have nowadays. Programmed all radio stations but need to work out phone Bluetooth though which is paired to the audio system but no sound is currently coming out. I also want to turn off daylight savings mode on the front bulbs so they don't stay on if not needed to save bulb energy which I've tried finding out how to do but being unsuccessful doing at the moment as well.

Nice car, have so much fun with it. I'm sure you'd love to take it for a nice drive somewhere. I know when I got a new car, I couldn't help myself go on an adventure for a 1 hour drive and stayed overnight somewhere.

Will do after getting used to it.
For extra security, I ordered a dashcam in terms of accidents which I'll fit once that arrives.

Does that allow you see behind you?

No, they record all what's happening in front of your car. Though some cars have back cameras which help by parking in.

Jana's correct in what she said about dashcams then.
The one I ordered doesn't have a back camera itself but does record the front.
