How to deal with the wait...?

[Vibb]

Car has been on order now for a couple of months, but still have aoher couple to wait until delivery.

I must have watched every YouTube video going and looked at enough photos. What did everyone else do while waiting ?

Any suggestions to keep your mind off it?

[james-witton]

I've only had to wait a week, and this is my third. But it was such a long week. Luckily it's the big day today. The excitement never wears off.
Just enjoy the wait, it's exciting and all part of the experience. We've all been there.
Hope you have fun.

Sounds like a factory order so if you can try and arrange a factory visit.
Don't play with the confugurator too much assuming said factory order.
Clean out garage.
Order CTEK battery conditioner / charger.
Congratulations.

Feeling your pain!

I started the process of my new one in autumn last year, it's due at the start of September.

Youtube is just not doing it for me anymore! Got a photo of it after paint last week so that took the edge off a bit . It has a chassis number now so that'll keep me going for a few days.....

Look for a personalised registration plate (dvla do some from £300)

I've still not quite signed off (theoretically that will finally be done tomorrow, barring a couple of accessories required through parts who seem to operate on a different timescale to the real world) and the earliest my car will be delivered is Jan next year so count yourself lucky ! :-)

Congrats by the way

+1, I went for a **** AML plate for £299 & transferred it instantly on the DVLA website once the Certificate of Entitlement was received & the plates delivered

Hi James.

What have you decided on this time? I assume you are handing your hard earned to Paul and the guys at Aston Martin Newcastle.

[ChilliWhizz]

Plan some interesting road trips?

[jonby]

You need to get a smaller front plate made up and ensure the dealer knows not to fit the front plinth (and that the factory don't fit it) so said smaller front plate can be supplied by you to the dealer and affixed straight to the car

[IanV12VR]

As others have said try and arrange a factory visit to coincide with your car being built, nothing better!

I also like the idea of having a personal plate, if you haven't already got one already, to put on.

The other thing you could be looking into, of not already sorted, is whether you go for PPF on the car and what paint protection. That should take a few days to look into

I remember your original thread when you weren't sure what colour to go for, what did you chose in the end??

[Graze01]

Ask the dealer you bought it from for a loan car for a weekend

He's referring to my comment.
He's put down a deposit to come to my Annual Ladyboys Ball,in the New Year.
He told me that he's looking forward to coming.

why, are you going to tell us what you're getting Ian :-)

(Obviously I mean specifically, we know the model)

Never has the adage 'good things come to those who wait' been more appropriate...............patience is definitely not one of my virtues

I thought I would wait for my 2,000th post to share - so not long to wait
