Was due to [ick it up yesterday, got everything sorted, then I got a call on Thursday telling me it's still on the docks at Zebrugge!
Arse!
So not yet, now due to the dealers on the 22nd apparently, but I'll believe it when I see it!
Wife doesn't know it's comming so I'm looking forward to suprising her with it, it being for her!

Factory order, nothing around that looked good value when I was looking.
Was yours a stock car? What deal did you get? I got just over 8% on a factory order which I thought was reasonable.
Very good actually, I thought I was doing well at 6%.......Was yours a stock car? What deal did you get? I got just over 8% on a factory order which I thought was reasonable.
Word of warning...
Clocks went back a couple of weeks ago, and Mrs WR could not figure out how to reset the clock, because on her old Coupe you did this by fiddling about on the stalks and steering wheel buttons, and we could not find anything in the instruction manual....
Anyway, last week she looked at the clock, parked up on a council car park and set the blue parking disc wrong (an hour out) on a two hour maximum car park.
Came back 30 mins later to find a ticket, because the disc had been set an hour out....
We have since found out that the clock is altered through the COMMAND buttons.......(details in that section of the book)....
Awaiting the reply to a grovelling letter from the local council....

wacky racer, do you know how to turn the lights off , the glow in the dark ones on those circular panels on the ceiling in the car?
Mrs WR thinks you can switch them on or off, (or alter the brightness) by playing around with the settings on the steering wheel buttons)....She has them set to be on very dimly, but they only come on when the outside lights are on.....HTH.

The MB guys were very, and I mean very keen, to get me onto a finance deal but I don't like finance.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAXqdTuP3MI

We've had a 320 cdi in obsidian black, cashmere interior, black maple trim, bigger wheels, few other bits, nothing too extravagant.
Just need to get hold of the bloody thing!

Go into the settings menu via the steering wheel buttons and look for the ambient lighting settings, they are set on 2 as a default, just turn it to 0.HTH

cheers MatC!
Bertie, i think i have the maplewood too, one thing is that you were definitely correct about the rear seats, definitely only 4. i am also suprised how fast the cdi is, i have a volvo S60d5se but the merc seems almost as twice as fast and as effortless, its like being in first class on trans atlantic flight when i am driving the car

Yep, I agree totally. I have a Boxster 3.4 which is a sprightly thing. The CDi never feels wanting for power in comparison. Quite weird.So finaly got ours and I have to say I am most impressed.
Quick, very quiet & refined, bluetooth car phone is brilliant and the quality feels good.
As you say although I've not had a chance to really try it it being so tight and new, a decent turn of sped although not quite up to the Gallardo it has to be said.
The wife was certianly a happy bunny when I threw her the keys this afternoon so a result all ways round!
