Hello from Wiltshire

[SarahC]

Evening all!

I have spent a week lurking to pluck up the courage to join. Just one issue, I have had a Orla Kiely DS3 for two weeks now and I did stumble on a thread which was, well, lets say not exactly raving about them.

Ah well, I'll either crawl away with shame or maybe be welcomed for a half decent choice even if the colour etc is not to everyones choice!

On the up side I am a converted Mini owner after 8 years - now loving the DS3 (even with the 'table cloth' on the roof!).

Hope there are some more Wiltshire owners that may bring themselves to a toot if they spot me?!

I'd be interested to hear the current views on the Orla Kiely's.....I think *takes a deep breath*!

Cheers,

Sarah

Hiya.. Welcome...

As for the one you chose, well thats why they have made so many different looks as we all have our own likes and dislikes.. as long as your happy thats the main thing...

Good grief, another mini to DS convert! Citreon will be starting cart wheels

[jaspabt]

welcome TTC. Everyone has their own taste so dont worry about that thread. Good choice

[SarahC]

Thanks all for the kind words. Indeed, at the end of the day I still own a DS3!

Mine's the black version and although it's more cash than the std DStyle I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have opted for leather or the 17" wheels but so glad I have them and the bluetooth too.

I'm not a girly girl by any means but it caught my eye, it's mine and more importantly I love it!

Post some pics when you can. I've only seen 1 in the flesh, that was at the dealers during one of my visits before I finally collected my Racing. The car they had was a white one, what struck me most about it was the different coloured headrests. It's good to see another convert from the M*n*

Glad you love it and welcome....

Regards,

Hi and welcome. Not sold on the Orla Kiely designs but having never seen one in the metal then I have to hold judgment. Design apart you are still a proud owner of a DS3, so welcome to the club.

Better Than Hickory Brown

Better Than Hickory Brown

[Yellow]

Hey some people don't like yellow, lol. ALL are welcome in the club!! I have seen the black one flash past me in Gerards Cross and it was good. Pics and see you at a meet

Welcome from Hampshire!

Some people aren't keen on the black and orange DS3 Racing I have, but it doesn't worry me one bit!

I actually think the OK is, well, OK. It has matching orange mirrors with mine!

My Inlaws live in Westbury and I've seen a few DS3's down their way including an OK.

Pictures now up, flowers and roof included. But remember folks it's still a DS3!

I would even gag at the Hickory Brown.

A DS3 parked up next to me once in a supermarket, alas I didn't have time to hang around to see if they were interested in talking to other owners, maybe next time. Two others spotted in Wiltshire on the road - no nods/toots/thumbs or anything - is it me (or should I say the OK? *note to self, must stop dissing my own car as I have been accepted in the club!!*)

Cheers,

Sarah
