My new Yeti SE+ 140 4x4 with DSG and extras has just arrived. 2 months early!

I love it!

And here's a picture of new Yeti with older sister - Roomster 1.2S with DSG.

Congratulations! Now go and have fun!

Looks good, is it from Simpsons?

PS - Is it in time for your holiday after all, or wouldn't you want to go afar in a brand new car?

I went on holiday in the snow in my brand new car when it was a week old

Great choice JST. Enjoy.

Yes, Simpsons at Colne. They really are good to deal with.

Yes, depart on Sunday to Austria. It should be about run in by the time I get back!

Mine took about 17,000miles before it felt run in........

Yes, to be honest my first Yeti was like that!

That looks cracking. I think the white paint, sunset tints with the SE alloys is the best external look imo. Enjoy it and the trip!

Nice one. Good to see someone posting a picture of their car without covering up their number plate - never really understood why people do this as it's on display 24/7 in real life. No doubt someone on here will tell me the "raison d'etre".

Re covering up number plates - criminals steal cars and then give them new legitimate looking identities by cloning a legitimate car's details. The easiest part of this is to copy a legitimate number plate. Rather than hang about the street looking for a car of the same colour and make, they go on line and search for a similar model - they then clone the plate as part of the process. Next thing you know you are receiving speeding tickets and fines for a car of your make, colour and registration in locations where you have no connection. It's less common than it was a few years ago, but still happening!

Looking very nice indeed - I was really tempted by white but ended up falling back to my favourite car colour - bright red. It's strange how perspective makes the Yeti look so much bigger than the Roomy whereas in reality it's just a few mm more here and there.

I've got a question for the 'proud father':

What stereo does it actually come with? Is it the Amundsen (like the brochure says), the Amundsen + (like the configurator says) and if it is the Amundsen + does it have DAB (like the Urban)? I'm hoping for a no, yes and yes on those questions!

Okay, that's more than one question

OK, I can see that now - still, I have never covered up plate when selling a car privately (and I have sold plenty). Also, I have always had a personal plate, so I guess cloners would rather have a standard/year specific plate. Just out of curiosity, has anyone here had a number cloned?

******. Urban myth, that has never been proven.

Is that an Urban Yeti myth?

******. Urban myth, that has never been proven.

Not relevant to the OP, but about 25 years ago, we lived on a cul-de-sac of small houses and one morning some neighbours across the road (we didn't know them, just murmured "morning" each day as we got in the car, etc.) were raided by armed police and taken away handcuffed in their pjamas!

Some weeks later, CID knocked on our door and asked if we knew anything about the arrested neighbours, had we noticed anything, etc. As it happens, they had had a grey mk2 Golf Gti that had been made to look like a 16V that I always thought something was not quite right about (probably the wrong wheels or similar).

Anyway, it turns out that it was stolen (from Birmingham I think) and one of the things they found in the house was a sheet of paper with a list of car descriptions and registration numbers all relating to actual cars. One of the registrations listed was the one used on the Golf but actually related to a different grey Golf Gti, a 16V that was based in Manchester.

So 25 years later, I'm sure the internet provides people of a similar criminal bent an ideal opportunity to obtain registration numbers of actual cars for the purpose of cloning.

Oh, and what happened to the neighbours? I think they got 10 or 15 years each for being involved in an armed bank robbery - and I thought it was a nice neighbourhood

Many congrats on the choice of white with the DSG!

I completely misunderstood the thread title...

Mine arrived on Monday too, have only driven it for 50km so far.

several of my colleagues have had their plates cloned.

But can they prove it was from publishing photos on the 'net?
