And I've seen hand car washes where people have dropped wet sponges on a gritty surface, then picked them up and gone right on washing.

Yeah, I know, do it yourself.  Who said I was that careful either?

Some GTI's are too polished.  It looks as though the owner never uses the car.
The old model badged as ED30 often suffers this fate.

I didn't think to ask, It was either his secretary, p.a. or whatever that answered the call. I know when I got his details to ring that he was the main man to talk to, so it didn't even cross my mind to ask for anyone else as I was given his name specifically. He is the person that deals with our company directly and as far as the dealer I was talking to last night was conceared too, was that he is the decision maker. I do have a little patience, 2 weeks is not long to wait when I have been waiting since the mk6 accouncement basically. I can put up with the you don't have a car, have you ordered yet comments for while longer yet.  :wink:

See above for longer explaination. Although, I don't know if people are asking out of genuine interest, or out of disbelief. Makes no odds to me.

But 2 weeks, not long, I'm upgrading my PC at the moment, and have a couple of events happening before then so should have enough to take my mind off the wait.

Just had a thought as to why the 21st too, most people come back Monday. I've just been informed that its Glasgows fair weekend so its a holiday for the 'office' blokes on Monday.

Genuine interest mate, I've been losing sleep  :kiss:

yeah yeah :grin:

I'm just really curious as to what kind of deal I'll get. Dealer said to me last night that his deal and even the deals they offer in the garages work differently. He was also very surprised that I knew his name and showed him his number. No matter how many times I said 'You are our client' it didnt seem to register, felt like I had stolen the info  :grin:
