RE: Jaguar F-Type S Coupe: PH Fleet
Discussion
When I ordered our Octavia VRS Estate brand new in 2010, I specced quite a few options. Fast forward 6 months (is the waiting list still this long?) to collection day and on arriving at the dealer I saw a few new cars waiting for collection, but not mine. Casually enquiring as to the whereabouts of my new car, the chap looked at me a bit funny and pointed outside. For a split second I thought he was just being thick and got me confused with another customer, but then swiftly realised that 1. he was serious and 2. the car he thought I was having was very different to the car I thought I was having (and had ordered).
They'd had built to order a car in the correct colour but no options whatsoever
The salesman's initial attitude was 'tough st, it's your problem' however, after I calmly showed him my copy of the paperwork, signed by me and him with all the options listed he was more than a little sheepish.
Suffice to say, I did pay for, and drive the car away that day. But...not before I got a written agreement from Skoda that I'd keep and drive the car and swap it for the actual specced car I'd ordered in 6 months time, completely free of any charges whatsoever

I ordered a car in 2012 and found it didn't have Xennons.
I should have actually looked at the options list rather than assuming it would be standard on a 40K car.
I once got a great deal on a pre-ref Volvo. It had been ordered with a suspension upgrade and no sun roof so had been rejected

I quite like a chrome window surround on a dark saloon or estate. There, I said it.
The current trend for murdered out black/night/shadow/ninja packs is a bit crap I think. On cars like this yes, on a boggo 2.0 A6 with a balding middle aged man at the wheel, no.
No, on any car it's pathetic.The current trend for murdered out black/night/shadow/ninja packs is a bit crap I think. On cars like this yes, on a boggo 2.0 A6 with a balding middle aged man at the wheel, no.
You're not a drug dealer, why are you even pretending to be? It's not something to be proud of. It's the 2016-version of a fourteen-foot long bonnet.
Is it really that hard to just be fking happy with an expensive car, instead of broadcasting how unsatisfied you are with it until it looks as though wants to fk everyone to death?

Out of interest, why does having black trim make you a drug dealer? I thought that was windows, and even then is a bit of a 90s opinion. Alot of cars have black instead of chrome now, and much better for it. I can never understand the need for chrome headlight washer jets on a 911, would be much better in black on a dark car!You're not a drug dealer, why are you even pretending to be?

Seems an awful empassioned and angry view to hold on whether someone prefers chrome window trims or not. I have my own preference, but the only thing pathetic is branding anyone who likes chrome window trims a drug dealer. It's about as baseless as any car-related stereotype I've ever heard.
Who can honestly care so much about someone else's window trims? Me thinks it's just a reflection of some deeper rooted personal trouble.
