Dalek-5

S5: The Rear Seat is No Place for Me

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).

Four Days In

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.

Dalek-5 has arrived!

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.
