The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

[GHW]

It WAS a 2009 build !
I say "was" because I got a phone call an hour before pick-up to inform me that somewhere between storage and showroom the car had been involved in an accident ! I sh*t you not, on the day of delivery !
I've re-ordered one and now will need to wait a couple of months now.
Oh well, worse things could happen I guess and no-one was hurt, it's just a bad situation for all involved, the dealership, me, the plonker who stacked it and my poor wife who thought she was driving a new car home today.
On the plus side, the dealer has gone out of their way to look after us, we have another car we can use (Mini Cooper S) and it will be a 2010 (gotta look on the bright side I guess).

Great news, my wife finally got to drive home in her new toy on Friday !
i must admit i was very impressed with the delivery person, Amalia, at Austral (I know I know, "Austral" and "impressed" in the same sentence, go figure) she showed a real genuine interest in ensuring my wife knew everything about the car and made it a nice experience for her - much deserved after the drama in purchasing this car - so, all's good so far and a dramatic turnaround from this Dealer compared to last year.
i have no idea what it's like to drive as I haven't had time but I'll take it up to Nebo during the week when all the Ken Block wannabes go back to work. For now i can say that it makes my R36 look a bit "old" and "dated" ( to quote a family member) and I really really want that steering wheel !!!!
