I don't mind the extra wait, I'm fortunate to be in a position to buy a car like this and I want it to be right but I've gone to some lengths to clear Monday.
That's what's irked me.

Sorry to hear that Brad - but better to pick up a fully functioning new toy - than one that will bug you...

I'm sorry, and I know this doesn't help, but I would move heaven and earth to get that lock replaced before monday, rather than inform a customer his brand new toy is already slightly broken. They have three days to get it fixed. Need a new part, here's an idea, get in a car, drive to Woking and GET A NEW ONE!

Well yes RPM it did cross my mind to loose a barrage to that effect but it does just seem to be one of those things.

The sales guy I've been dealing with has been brilliant all the way through and I don't think it's on to give him the full hairdryer treatment when it's clearly out of his control.

I've worked too many hours this week to get a head of steam, I'll see what they say on Monday when I've had some rest and will be feeling a little more combative!

Might also be worth checking if the part is not on a long back order as there seems a few parts like that at the moment... Like the cracking rear lights (apparently as good an unobtainium these days)...

There's always one with the Essex jokes isn't there?

Anyway, I hold you entirely to blame for everything, I'm only buying this car so that I might have half a chance of keeping up with you when your new toy arrives!

How many more days?
My wait came to an end today, I say this in support rather than to revel your pain.
Not a Macca, but I got the Speciale finally and days don't come much better, sunny day, a 100+ miles drive home. I'm still smiling.

First spell of real good use out of mine last weekend. It is genuinely loopy, you'll love it!

Happy days - pissing down or not, roof off, t-shirt/shorts/flip-flops and shades on. laugh

Thanks Anjum, after speccing every colour other than red I grabbed one in release spec but with gold wheels. I started to doubt the wheel choice but I absolutely love it.
I dithered and missed getting my own order in but can't fault the car I've ended up with.

Looks amazing - I'm a huge fan of the gold wheels - not many people have spec'd them here - and I say good!

Congratulations!

I'm still waiting for mine which should be week commencing 16th March - and have booked to go to SPA on the following weekend!

Why not start a new thread - and leave this thread to br_d - who is gonna be a happy man on Thursday.......

Looks fantastic Johnny, congrats!

Things always look better in the flesh, I think it's pretty natural to have those little doubts about the spec!

Mines got no external carbon, I don't really like too much of it and I prefer the unbroken lines of the car. I'll know if it's the right decision when I see it Thursday morning!

(it's retro-fittable anyway).
