I've had whippy and stubby, but currently just look indecisive with a semi-whippy. :?

Still waiting for collection, the car is in BMW (Bath), they have had the car since yesterday at 14.00 and finally started looking at it today at 16.00

They have finally said its a software update to get rid of the amber (P) on the dash - they are saying the update take 8 hours - is this correct as I would have thought a few hours max.

That's true - my Ruby Black one only ever looked clean when I had just finished washing it!

We had three black cars and wash one then the second by the time the third was done I could have started again, now we have 2 white BMW (almost) and a black DS3 Crossback so not half as bad.

I collected a car not a cat Mr T - we already have one of those in the house.

I will think about updating that :P

Nice car and welcome to the forum. Your location had me confused, I always thought it was Pont-y-Twll, or is that somewhere else.

Thanks benderloch.

Pont-y-Pwll or Pontypool is in Gwent but Pontypool-y-twll is in cardigan so different place.

Thanks Josh, had it for 5 days and love it, looks performance and the economy is pretty impressive all round.

Will get some actual images up soon when the rain stops :cry:
