Well I have seen a number plate on the dvla site that I want, do I just give the dealer the info and get them to buy it?

Just to keep this thread updated, ship is due into port on 27th (Thursday) smile then just got to wait for up to 3 weeks(!) for it to clear customs frown.

Also, latest figures from the awesome Dougie on numbers and colours ordered so far:

3 fantale
11 white
2 green
3 perf blue
5 black
6 red
1 met red

I am guessing one of the other 2 Blue is the stock replacement for the one I am getting from Bellingers, so am looking forward to having a very rare colour biggrin

It won't turn up in time, I heard the ship bringing it has lost one of it's engines and is still going round and round in ever decreasing circles to finally disappear up it's own funnel. Hahaa.

Already sold more than twice as many GenF's as they did E3's then.
Yeah, the salesman at Bellingers said they have had a more diverse selection of people buying the Gen-f compared to previous models, from yoofs my age all the way through to the oldies who purchased the last models new, which would explain more sold as a wider market reach smile

Wooooowww Horsey
It needs to get to the dealer first before they can start to do their bit.
Transportation to dealer is booked for this week.
hehe They said they may only need a day to get it ready when I spoke to them on Saturday... I am away for a long weekend from friday so hoped to pick it up on the way smile if not, can wait till next weekend.

Thanks so much once again though Dougie smile

I had a good look aroung Ringrams car saturday and a very nice car seats are very comfy.cool
Yeah, was really impressed with the whole interior tbh, apart from the retarded positioning of the boost and oil gauges. Gonna take a while to get used to the indicator being on the right hand stalk though. Wiped the windscreen a few times on my test drives hehe
