Serious question
Discussion
Woolie, I can get my bag, albeit a soft carry bag, in the DB9 Volante. The driver has to sit with the driver or behind him. I would guess yes or just leave the wife behind and sit them next to you on a rug/bin liner.
Enough seriousness for the day. When are you organising the next city meeting?

Roof up or down; it doesn't affect the amount of space in the boot. The roof folds into its own separate compartment. And yes, I can fit my clubs in the boot of my roadster, though it helps to take the driver out and then slot it in on top of the bag. In fact, I've had two sets in there with a bit of fiddling.

Ohh, exciting!! 
Surely the roof occupies the space where the rear luggage area is?
Well exciting isn't the word I would have used Surely the roof occupies the space where the rear luggage area is?
More like nightmare, but hopefully to be sorted soon. Don't want to say any more right now but suffice to say that things are being dealt with very professionally.

Great, so basically the same as the coupe then. I take my driver out to get my bag in at the moment so that's good news.woolders said:

Was it not decided that the Chien et Canard in Soho was a better lit and more convenient location for everyone? If so then perhaps Peter could book the room for us again. That burger was the best I have ever had Enough seriousness for the day. When are you organising the next city meeting?
Happy to do the City Boot at any time. In fact I shall be passing by there around 3:30pm today
Name the date and I'll book the room.
Sometime after the 13th August and prior to the 23rd August would get my vote. After that I've got a month (maybe more!) off so Soho will be far away from my thoughts.
My train into town this morning was e m p t y. I'd guess about 20% occupancy
I've not ever seen a train that quiet at commute time even at Xmas/New year.
I truly expect the much predicted Olympic disruption to be another Y2K damn squib for the vast majority of us. Sure if you live in Stratford then things may me rather different.
Or I may be wrong. Whatever. Nothing that a pint or two can't get around.

Thursday or Friday is preferable so 9th, 10th, 16th or 17th are OK for me.
16th it is. Thread started.Reading between the lines you can tell us all about the "big one" that your V8V received prior to your purchase that resulted in it tracking like a pig on castors, having a manky NS sill and a water leak through a dodgy glue joint.
Of course I may be putting 2+2 and making 1!

You forgot the passenger door window that doesn't drop fully and catches slightly on the chrome trim (even after a window reset), the passenger door that doesnt sit flush with the rear wing when shut and the passenger door window that leaves a bigger gap between it and the rear window than on the driver's side. Of course there was the matter of the sill not being aligned and the (to everyone's amusement) fact that one side of the car sits higher than the other. We are of course talking millimetre's here but enough things that got me asking questions.Reading between the lines you can tell us all about the "big one" that your V8V received prior to your purchase that resulted in it tracking like a pig on castors, having a manky NS sill and a water leak through a dodgy glue joint.

However, I can neither confirm nor deny your reading between the lines
As I said this is being dealt with as we speak and until the outcome is decided I would rather not say any more. Suffice to say at this stage that my faith in the dealer is still strong and hopefully will remain so.Edited by v8woollie on Thursday 26th July 12:56
