How many people are postponing their new car pick up because of the weather?

It’s a matter of wait and see for me. The dealer is about 6 miles from me, and unless the road is closed, I’ll be there.

I'm not precious about cars but I don't think Id want to pick it up with a load of snow and salt on the roads.
The roads in Glasgow are atrocious tonight.
Will play havoc with the midnight pick ups.

I’m due to get a gts from Cardiff tomorrow returning west on the m4.
I’m not sure that it’ll happen and I’ll see how it looks in the morning.

I’m starting to think it might be wise to delay collection, looking at the state of the M62.. frown

Yeah I’ve decided to leave it until Tomrrow/Saturday too.

I wouldn’t take it out in these conditions so makes sense to not take the risk, as much as that frustrates me.

Yeah. As painful as it is to know it’s waiting it’s the right thing to postpone.

People have been stuck on the M62 for six hours!

I got mine smile

Last night, I woke up more times than I care to remember because I was so excited. Each time, I took a look outside and my heart sang every time it was clear, and sank every time it resembled a bad night in Siberia.

In the end, although my local roads were terrible, the main routes were pretty clear and I got to the dealer with no drama. Well, not counting the 4x4 drivers whose moment of glory had arrived and most of whom were hurtling around like big fat rampaging molluscs while the rest of us crawled along at 25mph.

I'm intoxicated by the car. It's my first properly posh automobile, and sitting here unable to just go out and drive because of this utterly gank weather is deeply frustrating. I feel like a boy with an excellent toy on Christmas morning but with no batteries and nowhere open to buy any. Other old gits might remember such times....

I keep looking outside to make sure it's still there.

Hope you all get yours soon.

Congrats mate. She looks lovely! I also kept waking up with anticipation, but felt like Christmas had been cancelled frown

Given that people have been stuck for 7 hours I can’t be too mad.

Enjoy it and hopefully the weather clears up for you to go on a bit of a hoon soon.

Collected my Boxster gts this morning. No problems getting it home but it’ll be staying in the garage for the next few days while I’m itching to wash it.
