Car 1st Service
Waiting for the car to be serviced. Took too long to be dealt with and there wasn't enough room in the customer car park. Will see how long it takes, not going anywhere, it's too wet outside.

Not perfect
Washed the car for the first time yesterday and discovered its no longer in pristine condition. Looks like some idiot has opened the door into the passenger side of my car and left a small dent. I knew this would happen one day but I was hoping that it would be several months before it did, not weeks has it turned out. I don't know exactly who and when, but I have my suspicions.
Getting used to the new car
I have to refresh my approach to driving as the new car does not perform like the previous one. Where I could be sloppy with the gears with the Swift, the Polo doesn't forgive using the wrong gear as quickly. The car is a different shape and size, which I am not completely accustomed to yet. I think I have the mirrors now in the right positions and managing to get a smoother transition from first to second gear. There are still a few things I need to sort out in the interior of the car before I can relax. However getting there!
VW Polo
It finally arrived and after the stress of the purchase, the ownership is initially proving to be far less stressful. I will be happier once I am more familiar with the interior of the car but I am not regretting deciding on the 3 door model (although I miss having a 1.5l engine!),
