Simonl Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 ********************UPDATE************************* right apparently my car is being held by the factory as they're trying to get the new Veyron engine into it!..... Anyway, The factory won't and haven't invoiced VW UK for the car, so it's not moved. 3 weeks after it was built and it's still being held in the same bloody factory carpark... WTF! The annoying thing is, everyone is on my side and powerless to do anything! Where's Churchill when you need him! nearly as crazy as all those fans in tents, queing up outside my window to see Madonna! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mu71rd Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 well I've spoken to Shaun also, and he has said 26th at the latest. I think he told you the last possible time Scott so that he can be absolutely sure, with you getting flights etc. I'm hoping for thursday or friday. if I get there before you Scott I'll be sure to ease your last minute nerves with some pictures. I've the week off work next week - it's going to be TORTURE!!!! just organised my insurance policy, and the feckers have charged me more for having soundpack upgrade!!! went up about £80! They even tried to charge me more for my armrest and cupholders!! Anyway, in answer to the questsions, yes I would recommend them (at this stage) as the money I saved was considerable, they quoted months less than any dealer I spoke to, and I don't see that there was ever much risk involved. All I've lost is a year's warranty, which I can buy anyway. it's going to be a long 10 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotw Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 WooHoo, not too long to wait! Im not taking time off before, I'll be better at work to keep my mind off it. Its fair enough Shaun giving me last date, if its ready before thats no prob, but if I got there and it wasn't ready it'd be a headache.

mu71rd Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 perhaps it's only when we use it - because Select forgot to mention we want RHD cars see it happens to me too after my initial high that I know when my car is arriving, I'm now wondering how the hell I'm going to cope for another week and a half! grrrrr. It's better knowing I'm not alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotw Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Not only are you not alone, there's a very good chance you'll get yours first and I'll have to put up with piccys of you looking chuffed (or laughing) in front my GTi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mu71rd Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 don't intend to hang around on that one! Scott - even if I pick up my car a few days before you - just think - you'll have run yours in by the time you get home, and I'll probably still be in light shoes and D mode for a couple of months!!

scotw Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Yeah I know a gentle cruise home (maybe a LITTLE power) and then funtime. I've taken the Monday off after the weekend so I can have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mu71rd Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 good man - I have an early road trip planned on Sunday with a friend who owns a Caterham 7. I'll be taking it easy me thinks! He reckons Worthing Road is good, and also the road from east grinsted to tunbridge wells - anyone have experience if those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 A24 Worthing can be very quick according to traffic and conditions up to Horsham. East Grinstead - Tunbridge Wells quick but bendy if I remember. Not boring roads but Take Care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mu71rd Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 yes I certainly will take care! I'm going to be bricking it to start with - and if it's a twisty - I'm going to be miles behind the Caterham! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotw Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Hi Leman, Friday 25th, flight to London, pickup GTi then drive to Edinburgh, stay the night then watch Scotland thrash the all blacks at rugger the next day. ok, ok, we're gonna get creamed but a good day to get the Kilt on and get smashed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mu71rd Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 you'll certainly know if your seats are comfortable! Spoke to Shaun today who has all the paperwork today for registration. Could be mid next week that it's ready (although I do suspect that Shaun is being needlessly optimistic to the bitter end!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hi mu....Before you know it you'll be enjoying that car!! You've heard it many times before but you'll soon know it's true that she's worth it! (The L'Oreal girl, that is, not the car!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotw Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Yeah he said Wednesday to me, but I'm not planning on anything before Friday. I may well get the transport company to drop the car off in Scotland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mu71rd Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 made any decisions yet Scott? I've not heard anything today (despite being told it would arrive in Dartford today, and I'd be sent piccies). Am beginning to think wednesday is out of the question, so hopefully Thursday.
