A little harsh comment there

plod humour?

no humour, IMO CF99 comment was harsh especially the life threatening comment,

I suppose different people look diferently at things, the OP has by the sounds of It a unique colour combo and was provided with a leather bound holder not in matching colours. Something I wouldnt be bothered about myself, but then maybe Athelstan might prefer matching color and cuffs so to speak

Maybe a matching set of luggage too  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I'm certainly no Beau Brummel in matching collar n cuffs and so matching luggage would be out of character for this rucksac hauling family.

I'm more in tune with the great AI.

Sir Alec Issigonis was probably the finest creative and functional car designer of his time, the kind of cut the crap and stay focussed mentality that such determined talent produces. Alec would have certainly said "what the f**k is blue doing in here - give'em all black - it won't show their mucky finger prints".

Hey, you started it, boasting about your LR Blue LEATHER document wallet

T'was no boast - merely a recognition of an irritant that accompanied some serious delivery day problems, that happily are now being resovled. Bye.

It seems some people hava a lot of time on their hands to write all those posts about a leather wallet.
If he ordered a color coded leather document holder and the dealer agreed on it, he should get it. It's the dealers fault for allowing it in the order.

A deal is a deal! If the request is rediculous or not is completely beside the point.

Actually I find it quite strange you have so few customisation options on a car you spend a descent amount of money on. The other day I ordered Nike football shoes for my son. He colorcoded it himself, was able to get an image on it from selected range and he also has his name on it. Why is this still so difficult to do these days...

And why are car entertainment systems so behind with their capabilities compared to an average PC. I've put in a Kenwood system which cost me double the price of an average PC and tough I can play almost anything with it, the interface navigation is not what it could be.

I find when it comes to cars and car accessories there seems to be quite a lag to what should be a much higher standard by now.
