Waiting for delivery

[spireman]

hi ashwi.
hows your car?

 

[charnandy]

ASHWI,

Where are the pics man? We're waiting with anticipation!

 

[ASHWI]

Sorry folks, been at a wedding darn sarf for the weekend in the car.

It is fantastic. I am so pleased with it. I have got the Bluetooth kit with it and we (me, the missus and 2 kids) had a right laugh on the way down trying to program numbers into it. I also wasn't aware that it has cruise control.

Before reading the following comments, you need to bear in mind that I've had a hyundai accent for the last 4 years...

The handling is really good, and gives you confidence to throw it into a corner and not think that you're going to understeer.

Also its more pokey than I thought - pick up speed is quite surprising, when I test drove it, it was quite disappointing and then when I read Richard Hammond's review in the mirror i was even more wary. But having had it for nearly a week and actually driving it I'm more than satisfied.

on the whole very very impressed. I will get round to doing some pics but at the mo I'm in work.

Good stuff. Glad you like it. I've only got about 2 weeks till i get mine now! Woohoo!!!!!

Just an update from my end....

Car's been built. They're now awaiting delivery drivers. He's going to contact me this afternoon with a list of various plates to choose from.

[Imran]

[charnandy]

Chosen the plate...now back to the waiting game.

On another note, anyone need a little run around in the shape of an S-plate Fiat Punto in Silver?

the new VW 1.4 TSI engine will be in the new Ibiza next may, i suppose it will be better than the current one but more expensive, does anyone know wish they had waited, me included.

The 1.4 tsi engine will be in the Cupra with a supercharger added for good measure. Cupra's are due to start production in week 6 2009. The FR with the 1.4 tsi non-supercharged engine is due to start production in week 10 2009.

So the new rumor sounds like FR with 1.4TfSI-125... Just released after the Cupra?!? That would seem odd usually goes Reference, Stylance, Sport, then a 2years FR another 6mo-1year Cupra!!! Yet sounds possible that they're just making all the fuss about the Cupra & will release the FR 3mo. earlier than the Cupra!

 

[charnandy]

Does anyone know how long im likely to wait for a delivery driver these days? The car's built and has been for over a week but they're waiting on delivery drivers. Does anyone know what sort of time scale im looking at for that?

 

[spireman]

To drive it from the docks or dealers ? i am told they either land at Newcastle or Sheerness, and when i pick mine up it shouldnt have no more than 10 mile on the clock.

 

[charnandy]

no idead to be honest. I dunno where it is! lol
I'll call them today

 

[charnandy]
