1998 Toyota Celica ST Pearl Green - Gone
1996 Nissan Primera 1.6 - Gone
1994 Rover Montego 1.6 Auto - Gone

well that's not a good start is it ! I wonder what the real delay is ? Delivery damage ? just make sure its 100% when you pick up. Enjoy the day.

Or possibly just a mess up in getting it taxed and registered on time....

Certainly hope so !

call me cynical, but I have worked around and in dealerships for years and know just what can go on >

It was indeed a mix up with registering the vehicle. Should be resolved by Mon or Tues

On my way to collect the little beauty no - pics to follow.

wicked ! enjoy the moment. Its always exciting collecting a new car.

Very exciting stuff

Please don't do what I did when I collected it and spent so long driving it that I forgot to post the photos!

I am now the proud owner of a FL2 SD4 HSE in Orkney Grey with Zenons, side protection strips and full size spare wheel. I drove back from the dealership in Peterborough to Basingstoke (approx 120 miles) and really enjoyed the drive, fuel economy averaged at 34 (motorway all the way, speed 70-85). I am going to love this car once I have got to grips with the sat nav and got used to the narrow seats.

Ref the sat nav is there a feature on it which allows you to save your current location ie via gps location? I will take pics as soon as time and weather permits and upload for all to see. Whilst at the dealersi sat in an Evoque - sumptuous inside, really nice however the driving position is not good, it is difficult to see the front of the bonnet and I'm 6' 3" lol

PS - The DAB radio is awesome !!

Congratulations on your new car! Narrow seats? how do you cope with Ryan Air!!!!!!!!!!
Sat Nav can 'trace' your route and you can input your 'Home' location. Handy as you can select this as destination from wherever you are with minimal typing. It is worth reading both manuals, again and again. Even so you will pick up stuff on here that you missed..... Enjoy! Upgraded to an ex demo, 7 mth old, Rimini Red/Ebony Napoli Auto HSE on 28th Jan 2011, added roof rails, mudflaps and side strips.
Gone - A great 57 Plate, Auto SE, Bought Feb 2009, Roof Rails and Mudflaps added on purchase. Blue colour, anything but drug dealer black.....

Really pleased that you like it!

Glad your first impressions are positive.

Sat Nav allows you to store up to 106 memory points.

STORED LOCATIONS
From the navigation menu select Stored
Locations. This enables you to manage
destinations such as, place of work, home,
favourite restaurant or areas to avoid.

Which might be what you are looking for or as close as you'll get. Page 111 of the manual tells you how.

Have you booked your 1/2 day Experience yet?

Congratulations, looking forward to seeing your new car pictures,
