I just had a phonecall from my dealer - will be ready from 9am tomorrow. The "valeter" set about my car before the PDI was done (wrong way round), which delayed the mechanical checks happening and the workshop was going to be closed before they finished with mine and then got the valeter to reclean mine. That's the official line. Anyway, he sent me a video link of my car...

Pity the video isn't high enough resolution to see if I have (99.5% sure) Flintstone tyres on it.

Looks stunning, so so shiny  :cool:

Care to swap?

Gone off your's already?   :whistle: 

It's the unsophisticated wheels isn't it, and the cheap no cost colour.  You've see the elegant Prets and the glossy Lapiz and now you covet them  :tongue:

Not a chance.  :laugh:

123 are far cheaper for the VRP, which means when ALA match and then beat by 20% of the difference, they are very cheap. They do the comparison while you are on the phone, when you say 123 were cheaper.

Gap123 certainly are cheaper for VRP, by some way.

Just done an online quote with them on list price with £20k benefits and came in at £157 compared to the £200 ALA quote.  So if ALA match it then do 20% of the difference, be looking at around £148 before any discount codes. Be more than happy with that, if price is similar in 3 months time.

Apologies for thread going off topic  :whistle:

My two favourite colours that are available for Performance Golfs are Carbon Grey and Tornado Red in equal measure. As the former is not available for the R, Red it had to be. Following Red is Reflex Silver. Plus, I prefer the Cadiz to the Prets. And it is nothing to do with cost.

So little lady, stop baiting and play nice if you can. :whistle:  :kiss:

Perhaps you should, as it will remind you of Black Cars and could be usefully cathartic. Just remember the 'curse' and take care.  :evil:  :tongue:
