The day is here!

I have been waiting since July for my new car to get to Australia and today is finally the day! I say goodbye to IVY my little Echo and hello to my new RED Corolla! I cant wait... 4 o'clock today!

*UPDATE*

Well, here she is... two months wait for the red one was definately worth every second! Driving back to work this afternoon was the most horrific 2 km’s of my driving life. The car was too quiet I couldn’t work out if it was going or if it had stalled. Then I didn’t know how much to rev it, I kept looking at the radio for the speed (the echo had the dash in the centre)… it was a real ordeal. I found it so stressful that I gave myself a headache and I was shaking when I got back to my desk!! I had better get used to granny revs, bunny hops and teeth cleaning again! I am getting used to it now but it will still be wrapped up in cotton wool for a bit yet. 1.8L engine is certainly a lot better than 1.5L…. it takes off FAST… petrol is going to cost me a fortune!
