Wow!!!!! What a spec!!!!! Surely north of £25k???? I thought I'd gone mad spending £22k. I'm wishing I'd ticked a few more boxes now.

Yep we have gone nuts, but hey you only live once............. or maybe that was just the sales person talking

I think adding all the options makes the car even more unique, all the luxury of the toys to compeat with a merc / BMW but all the fun of a MINI

what do you mean specifically - how can the aero kit not be colour coded? do you mean you've kept the bumper bits matt black etc?

Im going to do my best. Even the demo S at woodys has started to make the noise now.

Im assured the problem is sorted and the new car will be fine, if not I've made it clear I will be asking for a refund........ But I dont even want to think about that.

Good luck with this one Popey! Six weeks wait ... again!

I see you decided to give the Bluetooth a go. I will let you know how I get on with mine.

Hopefully we will meet-up on the 28th at the Record Attempt?

Exactly. Who cares about depreciation. If it's the car you want and you can afford it then it's up to you. Sounds like a great car.
