That would involve me having ANY details about my car. Which I don't I've asked for reg/vin for the last two weeks and just get what looks like a copy and paste "I'll check with the dealer and get back to you" and then I have to chase and chase and chase ... quite depressing really

The thing is, I've been told that there are delays due to transporter problems getting cars from the docks but ... my father in law RUNS the docks at Thorne. And he says that's bollocks. He also said that since others whose cars were built 3 weeks after mine have their cars already then he's sure my car was damaged in transit and that's why it was delayed. I just wish people could be honest

Cheers Rich, will try and do a review. Had one for weekend test drive in August and thought engine was lovely, admittedly not massively quick but
excellent in gear acceleration with auto and so refined. Have you ordered one?

That sucks. I am wondering if I will run into the "bollocks wall" nearer the time.

How many mobiles have you stamped on or thrown across the room while trying to get an honest answer from them.

I'm so far managing to remain patient and calm. Just

Had to see her again today as popped into sign some registration papers and would have been rude not to say hello. New Nav screen looks great, much clearer menus so all you who have been delayed with your orders and spec'd Pro Nav, there is a crumb of comfort.

Do the buttons on your lower right dashboard mean you don't get the cubby hole?

pistol.

I think the middle button is for radar distance for active cruise so may sacrifice cubby, a bit crap

Pistols come with M5s. X5s have lifetime gym membership that is never used and a right to park anywhere - just what every 'lady what lunches' needs!
