Under Construction

Top Gear love Annabel too!
This means enough room in the boot for my makeup and hair cases. Also the majority of the time it's just me in the car, so back seats aren't a priority, but as I've said before, I love options!
Audi has joined the market of small, luxury, sporty cars and is definitely a strong with loads of custom options to personalise the A1 to suit you. On the outside... They particularly like the lights. Shaped similarly to that of the Audi A8 and R8 (Annabel's much sportier older siblings) as well as the 'Sporty European Shape'. On the inside... Considering word on the street is that Audi used an aeroplane as inspiration, the Top Gear guys commended the air vents that resemble turbines and the wing shape to the dash.
They then go on to talk about the engine, the bit that goes well over my head! Basically what they say is 'it goes fast!'

My conclusion...
It gets the reviews from the experts and the general public that it deserves! A well rated car all round!

Day 4 & 5
Fortuntely though, I do have a couple of photos to share with you!
I had to show you the size of the boot! Small cars often simply that, SMALL! (Including their boots!) I have been quite impressed with how much I can fit into Annabel's boot (you might even say she is 'Bootilicious!') I managed to comfortably fit in an Overnight bag, a pair of heels, a pair of wedges, uggies, hand bag, beauty case, and a number of mystery boyfriend owned items!
You may remember my little adventure to Wheel & Barrow (Day 3 With Annabel)... Here is the result of my trip! My cupcakes that I made for my Dad for his birthday. He is a keen fisherman and was very proud when I told him that I had made 'fish' cakes, especially for his birthday!
Todays Favourite Annabel Feature
Zipping about town for work I get to use my new favourite feature to it's full potential!
When you come to a complete stop with your foot on the break, at traffic lights for example, she turns off! The air-conditioning and stereo etc. stay on, just the engine turns off. When you lift your foot off the break, she starts again and by the time you get it to the accelerator, she's ready to take off! It's to help limit fuel consumption and this modern technology is pretty exciting to use! There is a button on the dash if you decided to switch this feature off as well - who doesn't love options AND saving cash at the same time!

Annabel and Cupkate | Day3
Anticipating Dad's birthday (12th July) I decided to venture to Wheel & Barrow at Ferry Rd Markets for cupcake making supplies, and mum was keen to expereince Annabel's brilliance, so it was decided.
I also had the chance to quickly put together a CD before we left as I had only used the radio so far. I'm not going to tell you what was on the CD because generally speaking, my passengers don't always give me credit for my song choices! However, I love the feature where the songs pop up on the little screen so you can see their names and easily select to yours ear's pleasure! It also has an SD slot, so you can load up your SD card with media (songs, clips and movies!) and play them through the car - I know you're thinking 'WOW! This is so awesome!" I got pretty excited when I worked this out too!

Me and Annabel! Day 2
Sunday was such a beautiful day on the Gold Coast, the perfect opportunity to take Annabel for a cruise! Starting with brunch at Burleigh with Mike, then lunch with my family at Harrigan's Irish Pub at Calypso Bay. It was great taking the A1 for a drive up the M1 and getting to play with the cruise control. It's so smooth to ride in, and driving on my own meant I could turn my music up loud and not get paid out! On the way back I went a different way home, through windy roads. This was a really good chance to see how Annabel went on the corners etc. With the traction control I felt super safe and in control!
Today's Favourite Annabel Feature
Definitely have to say the cruise control. It's really easy to use. You just press one button and flick the switch and taa-dar, it's set. Then you just tap the breaks to turn it off! It also gives you a digital reading of the exact speed you are doing on the dash when you set it, so you can make sure that you are smack bang on the speed limit!
Stay tuned for tomorrows adventures!

A1 Day1
I picked up the A1 on Saturday morning from the beautiful new Audi Centre Gold Coast at Southport. Damien and Felix showed me through the car and all of its functions and features to get me through the week!
It was soooo comfortable to drive up to Brisbane in, even with two adults in the back. Which I found very surprising for a 2 door car! It was super easy to park, and it's hard to not feel a bit flash when you look at the steering wheel and see the trademark Audi logo!
