    Soo...

    Did it breakdown??

    Been toying with getting a C30 on the drip for the Mrs to ferry the little-un around in.
    Undecided as to whether the boot would swallow a pram or not though?

    Hmm...

    Nope. It's not broken down. I've only done 36 miles in it since I bought it on Wednesday. It's quick, though!

    They do them in various colours - I chose red to match your car.

    Not for £10, no...

    The cheapest genuine ones I've seen are around £30; the priciest I saw was £47.

    There's one on auction here, currently at £11; it doesn't actually say it's genuine although that's the inference.

    It has taken me two weeks to discover that this C30 has rain-sensing wipers. How cool is that?

    LOL, did you not read the manual when you got it? It's surprising what things you can find in it...

    Well, I did download the PDF version of the manual from the ovloV website. I sort of skimmed it.

    I shall have to make a mug of Rooibos and settle down to read the manual ... when I get time!
