Real nice car, and I think TR with 19s will be a more 'exclusive' look.  I'll keep an eye out for it around since we're not too far away!

EDIT:
Mark you've got it by now right?  WHERE ARE THE PICTURES! :grin:

Just got back to work after picking it up - will post some pics up this evening after I've been round to show my mum and dad  :grin:

First impressions - F7ck. Me. This car is outstanding!!  I love it!!  I'll do a detailed first review later, suffice to say the power is fantastic (couldn't resist a cheeky little blast even though its p!ssing it down here  :laugh:) and its a dream to drive!!  :cool:

No chance of persuading your boss to give you the rest of the day off? I think its only fair  :grin:

Just bunk off?  Its easy if you have two sites you might be at because each will assume you're working at the other place.  Send a few periodic emails from home with standard work BS and no one will suspect a thing!  And if someone does get suspicious then there is always the fall back of claiming you were in transit and ran into heavy traffic.

Err... not that I would do this myself.  Or think about it.  Honest.

All that moaning about the wait becomes a distant memory when you've finally got your wheels.  :whistle: Waiting until the weekend to get it sealed/waxed?
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Absolutely!  Although if I was going to moan I'd comment on the just under half a tank of petrol they gave me and no extras  :rolleyes:

Still, all forgotten now!  :grin:

Just waiting on my valet man to get back to me with a date to do the whole car (I'm not as brave/gifted as you chaps to do it myself *cough* I'm lazy) so fingers crossed he can fit me in in the next few days!!

You don’t need to be gifted to use C2V3 – as easy to apply as a wax, no special care needed around the plastics, it treats those too. So we’ve narrowed it down to you being lazy!  :tongue:

Got about 4 gallons in my car, which lasted me about 140 miles. Ran it to zero and then put the good stuff in. I suppose I did well on the unexpected Autoglym treatment (although in reality I took it off and applied the G-techniq, so only really benefitted from the glass and upholstery treatment as well as the bag of goodies which still may be ebayed for upwards of £40).

£175 - two coats and that includes sealing the inside as well.  He'll spend hours on it.  Proper awesome at what he does (check out the cars he does via his facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/D-R-Valeting/162937613776117?fref=ts )

MH - basically you've hit the nail on the head - I am lazy!  But also this chap is the nuts so he'll do a brilliant job (been using him for 6 years now).  Yeah, I'll do the same - run it down to zero and fill her up properly!

Yeah, especially in the album called 'Cars' right at the bottom of his page you'll find my old DPB MK 6 GTI!
