At least in two years time you won't have to get your wheels refurbed due to the corrosion known as white worm like most Monza shadow owners will. :wink:  :grin: :drool:

Yippe-de-doo-dah...!  :grin:

Got a phone call from my dealer this afternoon, car built and left the factory.  Apparently it's sitting in Hamburg or somewhere waiting for a boat.

I'm off for a cruise on the Med on Tuesday 8th, so we've arranged that I'll pick it up after I get back, probably the 17th assuming all goes to plan and it actually catches that boat.  :cool:  :cool:

Dealer doesn't think that door protectors look good on a GTi, funny 'cos the Mk V has them, and the GTi I'm currently driving around has them - the black looks quite cool against the gold paint job.  Mmmm.  My main thought is that my old Fiesta, which was a very similar colour to the Blue Graphite, looked absolutely terrible with the row of paint chips it soon acquired down each side.

If you're in Germany already, how come your car is waiting for a ship?   :huh:

Took delivery this afternoon.  Sad to say goodbye to the Peugeot, but it did rather blot its copybook by refusing to start this morning - battery discharged, but might have been my fault.

The GTi is a cracker.  Goes like a bat out of hell.  Liking the DSG a lot at the moment, though still not used to it.

Was told, 2 years or 20,000 miles to first service.  (Can change to shorter interval if you like, but car designed for this.)  Also told not to bother about running in.

There is a photo, at the dealer's, but there's rather a lot of reflection, and I need to obscure the number plate.  Might get a better photo, anyway I'll post one soon.

I still wish the blue was lighter, it could be carbon grey to be honest, but you do see the blue when the sun shines.
