My new R53

Just picked up an 06 MCS with the Rallye Package (which I believe is only available in Canada). Car has 25,000 kms (about 15,500 miles for you non-metric folks). Its a lot of fun and this forum has some great info.

Thanks. Still kinda babying it a bit. Trying to make the transition back to a front-wheel drive car from years behind a RWD.

That's a cool option. Is the idea behind that to thaw out a frozen windshield?

Thanks you all for your warm regards. I'm still getting to know the car and I'm still at the stage where I discover something new every once in a while.

Since, I'm not too familiar with these cars, it's sometimes hard for me to tell whether something is standard equip on the car or an option.

Yeah, little tiny lines in the windshield. Works great on frost, etc and I don't have to have the hot air blowing like mad at the windshield.
