Sooooooo, I've ordered a MK7 Golf GTD in Tornado Red, Exactly the same as the pic below. Estimated delivery in mid May frown



Got me thinking, What other motors are fellow PH'ers currently in the process of buying/ordering? Whether it be an estate for the family, a bit of weekend fun, a well deserved treat, a commuter, or just something to get from A-B????

One of these. 2014MY in Loire Blue (the picture is 2013 MY in Baltic which has been replaced for this year but they look basically identical) with matching roof. Not silver. Other than that it should be identical, wheels and all. Its currently on the boat, and we should get it mid to late next month. We ordered it in November.

Not me, but my Dad has the new Ford Transit Custom on order. Estimated delivery of late-March.

Quite excited about it to be honest.

Question; Did you have RefinedDetail prepare it beforehand? If it is your car, you could follow the progress of it via the Instagram page.

The pivot bar on the back broke due to stress whilst going round a corner, sending it hard into the back to it's left hand side and throwing it over. It then slid along the road to it's final resting place.

Since then the pivot bar has been both uprated and become a service item, so *touch wood* it should be ok.

and to the other poster, multi-quote never seems to work for me! It's a Carver One.

I need to get off my bum and get my new one ordered - or at least speak to the dealer - I've no idea on the lead times. I want the same thing as I've got now, but red: SLK250CDi AMG Sport. Sorry it's not a PH petrol, but I love the one I've got so much that there's no way I'd swap to the petrol. Costs peanuts to run.

Got a new Red Golf Gti on order for the wife. Just waiting on private plate return before I put her JCW up for sale.

Considering X5 vs Cayenne waiting list vs Macan waiting list vs RRS waiting list vs doing nothing and running mine for another year or two smile
