He says that some mix up at the factory means that his April car has arrived before his March car, and mine is now here.
Anyway I will probably take the car a couple of weeks early, but the other problem is that the factory have fitted single CD players to the 2 cars delivered to the dealership this week, rather than the 6 CD MP3 players ordered. Thank goodness they now have the retro fit option or I would be one unhappy customer.
Anyway Sandy gave me a shot of the new Diesel demonstrator this afternooon..... "Superb", and "All I came to expect", is all I can say!
Cheers

that is fantastic news that your car has come so early - mine came a week early and I was over the moon. When I placed my order I wanted walnut and it failed to appear, but I wasn't going to wait x? weeks for a replacement.
As for this weekends drive, yep, absolutely faultless. My brother in law (who is a great guy) has just got a brand new 5 Series Beemer and noone wanted to know about it (it makes me sound like a gloating pillock, but its nice for ME to have something to show off for once), all they wanted to know about was Arnie !! Sadly the weather conditions weren't up to much so the Isle ofWight never happened.
As for the journey itself 4 hours from the Lake District to t'other side Southampton at 36.2 mpg. I got out at the end as fresh as a daisy. This car is such a great long distance tourer - you're going to love it.
I'm thinking about the retro stacker fit myself, but I was a bit put off when Belmont suggested to me that it would be (I think) £560. If you don't mine me asking, what sort of money is your man Sandy suggesting.

p.s. I had a drive in BiL's brand new 520DSE, not a patch on Arnie in any department, still, he's happy with it.
p.p.s I think that it's incredible that I can take a 2 ton 3 lt car (nearly) the length of England and back on a single tank of diesel.
