Took the 2CH dashcam out of my Born (90 mins to install, 12 minutes to remove) and gave it a final wash in readiness to sell to the Peterborough Seat/Cupra dealership on Monday.

Blew £100 unnecessarily on that Belfast flight as an incoming S3 closer to home popped up - Grimsby. Asked for £400 more discount than Belfast were giving and was agreed pretty much instantly (damn, should've asked for more!). Rebuffed all dealership extras and again, the car is waiting for a ship from Emden. Hopefully 1-2 weeks away.

Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Didn't you sign for the Belfast one?

I had reserved the Belfast one, but hadn't signed anything, as the easyjet flight was to go over and sign (really not sure why they couldn't do it remotely with Docusign/Adobe). All the red tape between NI/GB and having to register it 2 weeks before I could take it seemed a right faff. I was prepared to stomach that faff on the assumption I wouldn't get a better offer for an "in stock" (built but not shipped). Then one turned up 110 miles away with a better negotiated discount, so going with that one.

Given the recent drops in EV used values and having to offload mine, I will likely be car less for 2 weeks rather than 6 weeks.

Ah I see - hope it all goes well from here on
