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 s
t, 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 f
king 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?paranoid airbag said:

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?

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.
