Hi everyone, first post here.
Been watching the forum for a few weeks now, but thought i'd get involved with the fun and post my up to date experience.
I ordered my GTD 3 door manual on Saturday 27th April, trading in a Mini Cooper SD. I'd class it as my first 'proper' car, as i've just turned 24 and have usually been insured out of everything i've wanted in recent years.
The sales exec at Lookers Blackburn gave me an ETA of 1st August for delivery. At which point I would probably wait until 1st September for the 63 reg.
Chased them for a build date today, they basically said the order had been confirmed but that they didn't have a confirmed build week at this stage. They would advise me when they knew this. Tracking my order online gives me this same information.
Anyway, i'm really feeling the excitement like everybody else. I wasn't this excited when I first ever passed my driving test. Going from a Mini to a Mk7 really seems to be like going from Susan Boyle up to Kelly Brook, and i've let myself go on this one! Bring on the delivery dates!
