In other news, I got 6 x confirmation letters that my £15.99 pm service pack is a goer (after hearing nowt from delivery of my R at the end of May). There was a DD confirmation from VW Finance that my payments were starting 28th June 15, on for July, Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec.
I'm sure that payments were supposed to start 6 months after delivery - a 4 year/40k miles contract with 36 monthly payments from months 6 to 42 of ownership.
I also was side by side with a new Civic R Type for a few miles of the 30/40/50mph crawl along the widening works of the A1 near the Metrocentre - it was hideous. Lots of venty grilly bits on, including the back of the front wings - looking a lot like exposed fish gills. Seemed quite an old fella driving it, despite it looking like it was designed by a 17 year old Halfords fanatic.
