Congratulations! Perfect color you've got there.

It looks like they were trying to copy the looks of the air intake vents when they redid the fog lamps.

Why such a long wait for the vehicle? Now would be a good time to ask them to pull the wheels and re-balance with proper weights (on the inside of the rims).

You will at some point, usually after you've relaxed, go for the clutch when slowing down. You will then have a demo of how good the brakes are. Very Happy For a free country, it does seem pretty expensive these days.

How do I convince my wife that a Skoda Yeti is better than a Range Rover? Ever since seeing it on Top Gear I have been asking her to come along to have a look at one, but when I get to my local Skoda dealer in Ripon, she just shouts at me saying this NOT a Range Rover dealership!!!

I wish I never told her how much LPG I was saving and she now thinks we have the spare cash for a posh car, I wouldn't mind if we did but she insisting on grey and I wanted black Crying or Very sad

Nooooh Andy, that was me who started that rumour, just so I could have an empty road what with me attempting an Auto box for the first time. I could be making local news headlines anywhere from London to Cornwall on Friday. Laughing

You can't have been down this way recently London, A40 and Empty Road are not normally used in the same sentence but I did hear of a break in traffic at 2.20 am Xmas morning but by 2.21am it was back to normal. Thumbs Up p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

Time might be on your side if Top Gear are to be believed - 6 month waiting list for a Yeti.
Some people I am told look for one all of their lives and never catch a glimpse............... There's always a way forward!

No, no, no, no, no, Lookers are not stock taking, they have told you that simply to keep you away. It is celebration day with balloons, buffet and a stripogram being laid on for me Very Happy Likewise the A40 coned area is not roadworks but a private lane for me to exit London without damaging my or anyone else's car while using this alien auto box, so there.
