Congratulations. A lot bigger than my first car ('70 Beetle)

Very, very nice! A Swedish first car, as is my Saab!

It seems the Dutch and Swedes are somehow connected.. Anyway, what are your first experiences with her?

Thanks guys!
This car was perfect because it's rather heavy but it has an LPG installation(G3), so still affordable. I have driven an 850 2.3 turbo a lot, so it took some time getting used to having no turbo. But the car is fantastic, incredibly smooth, nice sound and safe Love it!

Here are some new pictures (I have to admit my sister made them, she's way better at it than me):

Another thing, recently me and my father got to see the audi R8 V10 spyder. I like it a lot, more than the coupé because it's missing those plastic shields on the side. The V10 exhaust pipes look cool as well.
I noticed that the spyder has the same soft top mechanism as the aileron spyder (same pointy flaps, glass rear window etc) which is a good thing IMO.

The very same mechanism (as in, they co-developed it) or just very similar?

Seeing this photo reminds me we'll have to remove the moss in the summer. Too much snow now.
