Ok, so having been told my car had had its transport order requested on Monday I then found out it hadn't been requested at all (it had been unloaded at Sheerness on Saturday). Losing the will to live I started to give up hope of a weekend collection, and a combination of anger, frustration and despair had set in.

In steps the missus.  Gets on the blower to the group manager at lunch, and to cut a long story short within 4 hours the car has just turned up at the dealers and she's arranged for me to take delivery tomorrow.  Going in to the dealership to sign the finance docs now (and to take a sneaky look/pics at my new motor)!

Moral of the story - if you want something done get your wife who's sick and tired of hearing you moan and groan to deal with the problem!!  :laugh:

I can relate to what your saying matchboy, except it's my mother who seems to move mountains to get stuff done.  My Wife's just about holding it together with my ranting about the constant delays. 

Best wishes with the new Motor.  Hope the wait was worth it.

Post pics when you finally get it.
