Think my hubby tried that, but it isn't working, I'm more excited than he is! Enjoy yours, its supposed to be nice weather next week :) We've got another couple of weeks to wait for ours, apparently it is on its way to the boat :D

Are you not tempted to go to the dealer and go grab a look at it if you can? Check the paintwork for swirls by the way....new car prep is not what it's always cracked out to be!!

I won't be around until Sunday evening so let the tension build! I will check the polishing, thanks for the advise.

Sorry mat I forgot the six pot is only a little bit more road tax, I've been used to paying £480 a year road tax and I pay enough tax's as it is. Plus previous car would only do 22-24 mpg on super unleaded. :driving:

Not Coopers, we are the other side of Norfolk, Listers in King's Lynn. Hopefully we will not have any issues. The last new car we had was a Landcruiser, fifteen years ago. Probably be a bit of a difference!!

First run out done, fantastic experience so far. We were made to feel very special at the dealer, Lister of King's Lynn. Unfortunately, it hasn't stopped raining yet which confirms the thing regarding "sun shining and the righteous" I will post some pictures when I master the system, could by before Christmas if I'm lucky!
