I think AA has been whispering in your ear convincing you this is a good idea - he is great for the economy
It does make sense if you got a good deal on the one you sold and the new one - get to have a full warranty again
[/quote
That git convinced me!
I mean man logic it obviously makes sense, but even regular logic it works out ok. I got a great deal on a new car, but delivery screwed me as it’s late august so I might as well wait for September.
I will miss summer months, but hopefully will be away most of august anyway. Many summers ahead to enjoy!
New car is misano blue (the fastest colour as we all know) with comfort, tech, shadow, and drivers assistance pack.
No idea if the last pack is any good, but if I’m getting a new car I might as well get a slightly better spec.
[/quote]
He is great at spending other peoples money although he told me to wait till I could get exactly what I want which is sound advice
He told me about and it makes great sense all round and for summer you could always get a cavalier in a party frock to run around in

ori,
That git convinced me!
After you asking me what I thought, I was innocent until that point…………… .
Yes, I did definitely say to hold out for what you want and I’m glad you agree when I told you about mine that it makes sense and even more so that you’re advising Ori to follow my lead and buy a truly unique classic Calibra

Well, we all have to look out for each other.
Saw a guy on Facebook who took a black m40i because it could be delivered next month, but wanted a frozen grey that couldn’t be delivered until September. So he is wrapping it to get the same colour. Not sure if that makes sense to me. Rather wait for the car you want no?

See, that’s why I’m not on Facebook, a completely different clientele
Each to there own but Raven said that when his first wrap was removed the original paint had lots of nicks and scratches from applying the wrap. At that much money I’d be holding on for what I wanted
Sounds like a plan but Ole gits rule, is on the bell as he’s the only one saving money not spending it

saving that will be the day - spending it quicker than its coming in, £400 on garden stuff ( )this weekend plus got to get the patio laid so another £500 then it will be the pizza oven and new BBQ and furniture.
Then then I will £8k for a bathroom
Saving may start next year if I am lucky

I daily my car 40 miles on a dual carriageway that's is crawling with speed cameras so the driver assistance pack was a must. Just set the ACC and sit back and relax. It will bring the car to a complete stop if need be.

No it's not at the auto pilot level yet but if you use a motorway or dual carriageway that has medium to heavy traffic it helps take a lot of the person or of commuting. Along with the lane keeping assist it's nice to have. If you don't daily the car then you could do without it.ori wrote: ↑Sun Jun 06, 2021 10:49 pmIt doesn’t do steering though does it?TheGingerOneNI wrote: ↑Sun Jun 06, 2021 9:32 pm I daily my car 40 miles on a dual carriageway that's is crawling with speed cameras so the driver assistance pack was a must.

I’ve just noticed the time stamp on that last post!
You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.

My misses DS3 Crossback is pretty good and has auto pilot - just need to keep a light hand on the steering wheel, great on motorways but a very bloody strange feeling as you are just sitting thereTheGingerOneNI wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 3:27 amNo it's not at the auto pilot level yet but if you use a motorway or dual carriageway that has medium to heavy traffic it helps take a lot of the person or of commuting.

Looks like I’ll be without a zed until middle of September.
They really are having issues with new cars at the moment. Also orders have been flying in.
