Argh. That looks amazing, so glad I changed my order back to a three door now! I've gone with the girly pearl white though, if only just to get a little sparkle in the white. Can't wait to get mine but don't think I'll see it until late September. Still, the wait will be worth it!!

I need to pop to Silverlink VW to get my service book stamped up for a service I had recently and forgot to bring the book along  :rolleyes:

Could be a good excuse to see if they have one in (maybe not if Scotswood Road have one).
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Look like bridgestone tyres too.

Squinting a bit, Potenza S0001.  Looking at the tyre ratings on Blackcircles, they look noisy (73dB) and don't have great fuel consumption (rating "E").

The more I see the Mark 7 in white, the more I like it.

Dunlops are rated far better than the bridgestones but most people on here don't rate them ›

They didn't have one yesterday.  (I went hunting).
When the mark 6 came out silverlink had one and scotswood didnt, so perhaps they only get one for the franchise.

Again some nice pics dippy.... :cool:

What's so frustrating is seeing all these 'demo's arriving at dealerships, but knowing our cars are still months away from being built!!! :angry:

I've also just noticed the cigarette socket is located near the handbrake now!!! Cock!!!!  :angry: that means having my Sat Nav lead trailing all over the place!!!
