Dalek-5 |
While I wouldn't have any reason for ever sitting in the back seats of an A5 or S5 coupe, I needed to get some cling stickers put up on the rear side window. Initially, I thought it would be easier to get into the back, sit down and properly align the stickers. Well... getting into the rear set was relatively easy, but getting out was a whole different story. My physique definitely does not help and there was not enough headroom. Whoever does not call shotgun when they go for a ride in the S5 better be pretty limber or a contortionist. Does that make me feel like the S5 wasn't the right car? Heck, no! I don't think there is any other reason for me to get stuffed back there. :) I have since added 500 miles since possession of the S5, and all 500 miles have been very good (including occasional stalls). |

It has been four full days since I've taken my Audi S5 home and I've clocked in over 330 miles since. Before I go into some more detail, I want to note that the S5 is my first car with a manual transmission. A couple of weeks prior to picking up the S5, a co-worker graciously helped me learn how to drive with a manual. The hours of practice definitely gave me a head start and have allowed me to enjoy the car almost off the bat. |

A couple of months ago, I placed an order for an item that I gave a codename of "Dalek-5". Until this post, I have not mentioned what this item is. What is this "Dalek-5"? Well, it is a 2011 Audi S5. Being a big Doctor Who fan, I decided to christen my new car, Dalek, and the five represents the numeral in the model. The new car arrived at the dealer a little while ago and I took some pictures when I get to see it for the first time. Today, it has finally come home with me. Over the next several days, I will try to tame the beast, rather the clutch. Pictures of the new car is posted up on my Picasa gallery. Have a look see. |
