Nice Tit! Sorry I meant Nice, Tit. Do you think you could check my car out for me on delivery day? One and half hours....sheesh, is that average?

How long have you had to wait for this little beauty?

Ordered it in late Aug last year....

Admittedly, I spent alot of time chatting with the dealer....kept asking questions etc.....

I made sure I checked everything....and it was worth it....

One of the things we were looking for was the ECU reset button that allows you to start the car after an accident - I know it's somewhere in the rear right of the engine bay. One of the spanners came out and even he couldn't find it because it has moved on the '05 cars....

I still have to drink the champaigne they had in the boot for me!!

On Sunday I will have had my car a year and a couple of days ago I was cleaning up and found the champagne they gave me on delivery. A sad reflection on my housekeeping since I got the car I just HAVE to go for drives instead of doing my chores.

A Pimms or a warm beer would be more appropriate wouldn'tt it?

So, about five months is about the average wait then. I'll have to stop whinging..

Tit, congratulations - hope your out enjoying your baby in this nice weather - I'm itching to get out there myself .

By the ECU reset button, I presume your talking about the fuel cut-off switch, if so, this was only on early build cars and was replaced (at the start of MY03 I think) with a different system that apparently cuts the fuel off in the event of an airbag deployment rather than using an inertia switch. As a consequence, the switch is no longer there - it certainly isn't on mine and mine is a March 03 build. Hope that helps.

Nah, I'd say Rolfe had a good month in July and sold all their build spots meaning Tit had to wait until the following month for a build allocation. Each dealer only gets a certain number of orders per month, well as far as I know anyway.

I orderd on March 13 and took delivery on June 25 ... 105 days.

Any time, just give us a yell (via PM). Although I've never been, I think Pie = the Pie in the Sky cafe at Cowan on the Old Pacific Highway.

I'm kinda thinking the tarted up seductive look - maybe a feather bower draped over the bonnet and that "picture taken through a lens smeared with Vaseline" look?
