Looking good Beezer, be nice to see more pics when you have chance as your spec is similar to mine.

What car did you have to sell? I'm putting my existing Octavia vRS up on autotrader at the weekend when I return from my holiday in Cornwall

Thanks mate. Yeah I'll try and post a few better pictures once I've given it a good clean. Couldn't have picked a worse day weather wise for delivery it was filthy by the time it got here (about 280 miles in the rain!). Gave it a quick rinse once the weather brightened up. The photo above was about 8:30pm so was running out of daylight by then. The wheels up close are really nice. I know diamond cut aren't everyone's cup of tea, but up close they really stand out.

My old car was a RR Evoque. Only had it about 2 year, was nice on long journeys but was a bit of a bus for day to day driving so fancied something a bit more fun. The Evoque was 5 year old now and while I had a lot of advert views I didn't get many calls. I think people are put off buying expensive cars privately as there's the risk of getting scammed or buying a dog with little comeback. It was actually a garage from Derby who bought it. They said they sell a lot of them. I'd priced it fairly cheap to sell and while I took about £600 less than I wanted, it was still £2400 more than we buy any car and the like we're offering. Overall I'm happy enough considering the 15% discount I got on the GTI by going through Drivethedeal.

Ive got a 250 mile journey home from James @ JCB Medway when I collect mine but as a true Yorkshire man I'll do anything for value for money.

Hoping my Octavia vRS sells easily, otherwise I'll need to pay excess mileage fees as I end my PCP agreement

I offered to collect mine but asked if he could knock anything off cost wise or chuck something in free as I was saving him the delivery cost. He wouldn't do neither so I just said deliver it then as it was included in the DTD price. A train ticket at short notice would cost me best part of £100

I know people worry about them just chucking the work experience kid they keys and it being flogged, but the delivery guy they sent was spot on. Retired fella whose does drop offs for them 2/3 times a week. Took him best part of 6 hours to get up to Durham so must have been taking it nice and easy.

I'll be collecting mine regardless, I'm too obsessive to allow someone else to drive my car, especially 1st use.  The Mrs wants to join me though which means it may cost me double in train tickets

A nice day out for you both.

After collection we will probably spend the day out driving the car. Though the garage is only a 15 miles away. There is a restaurant we both like about 100 miles along the coast. It is the least I could do after all the car talk she has had to listen to. And there will be no argument from me on who is the designated driver.

I've put a few more pics in the new arrivals thread for anyone that's interested.

My build week 31 has left the factory and in transit. 1 more month to go I guess....

Does anyone know how it can be tracked in terms of shipping etc - so I can keep hitting enter on the keyboard every hour for the next month 😂
