OILMAN GETS THE 1st RED ONE?

YES, YES, YES IT'S HERE!!

Saw my car today, Velocity Red with Red/Black Leather, arrived at Dealer today around 4.30!!

Went straight up there and even in fading light, I was just jumping for joy with my choice. Dealer was over the moon as it's been a long 11 months for him as well.

HAPPY, PROUD, CHUFFED etc...

It's going to be a long wait whilst my Dealer sorts everything out.

1st RED, Hope so!!

Cheers
Simon

Congratulations Oilman!

Any idea when they'll have it ready for you?

You lucky so and so. :D

I still don't know when mine is coming.... but I am so glad others are getting that warm glow of potential ownership.

Should have it Thursday or Friday:D

Still it's here and I can touch it, smell it and dribble over it, that's all that matters after 11 months

Cheers

Hooray ! ! !

Well done oilman , chuffed for you.
After all that worry about geography and you are going to be amongst the first. However - given that we both ordered in Jan you certainly deserve it !

Drive mine to work today (1st time proper use).
Sooooooo good. The best thing I can say is that this is the most complete car I have ever driven.

Look forward to your diary of the 'day of collection' - it would be interesting to know how many forum members are due to pick their cars up by the end of the week..?

Well done Simes. Looks like I'll be the 2nd committee member to get theirs though - 2pm today. I will post this evening, even though I will be driving all afternoon!

The mechanics are on the PDI course today/tomorrrow, so cant start PDI until Monday.

Allow 2/3 days for PDI and accessories and I will most likely pick up next Weds/Thurs.

I cant wait a few more days now its here, after all Ive waited 10 months!
