Why the long wait?

If the car is at the dealer why not register it today and get driving it? Americans would go nuts if the car was at the dealer and they had to wait four weeks to drive it.

btw. the shot at your dealer reminds me of a dealership I visited in the Bournemouth area. I'm sure it's not the same one but it looks kind of familiar...

4 weeks, oh boy. Well at least it will be nicer weather by the time you are registered. Congratulation.

Re: Why the long wait?

In the uk march 1st is the first new registration of the year, then it is 1st september, bit confusing but if i wait till 1st march it will have the new 05 number plate on the car.rather than the one that started 1st september, silly i know....

Re: Why the long wait?

interesting you have no rear wiper - like mine, I have to say I have not really needed one - only on the few frosty morning occasions - looks great, and even higher spec than mine with the door entry and crest seats - enjoy!

Re: Oops, I forgot about that

Car looks fantastic. Well done for being patient - I couldn't wait, but have certainly enjoyed driving it these last 10 days.

I have driven through torential rain and there is no way you need a rear wiper. The rear of the car looks so smooth and subtle without it as well. Even one morning when it was frosty, I just turned on the rear window heater and it was gone in 10 minutes. I don't think a wiper would have helped there anyway.

Lovely car and great spec. I have almost the same spec, speaking of which, I was told yesterday that my car has arrived and is at the Reading storage area. Is that were your picture was taken? If so I really fancy popping over to see my car.
Roll on March 1st

Four weeks would seem like four months! What a bummer

Bet a buck you don't sleep the night before

Congrats

My car is at OPC Cambridge, they should let you go and see it whenever you want to, believe me seeing it in the flesh just makes the wait even worse!!!!!!!!!!!

The car is at the OPC Cambridge, you should be able to go and see your car before it is ready to pick up..
