Default beware! new wagon driver!

I love my new scoob, I'm grinning like a crazy man.
After driving an 18yr old golf for the past 4 months, the scoob is scarring the living **** out of me, what a car!

Had fun last night though when I managed to screw the alarm up! turned the engine off, immobiliser kicked in after 30 seconds, as it does and then wouldn't disarm, remote lock wouldn't even lock the doors. After an hour of scrabbling and fighting in the dark i eventually found the key pad! what a nightmare, a brief scare on my first day of ownership, but the standard alarm on a my99 seems really fickle, or is that just me

Don't think i was near anny radio masts, I could have been though, I wasn't at home either so it was made worse by my dad having to come and bail me out with the spare keys and all the documentation, and then ring tracker to tell them the car was gonna be towed, what a 'mare!

It's a '99V dark green wagon, totally standard apart from the afterburner vortex that i put on as soon as i got the car home from the dealer!

Wagon's rock, didn't want one to start with but needed the space and once i started looking i soon learnt that WAGONS ROCK!
