My countdown begins!

31 hours till I collect mine!

I've happily waited 7 weeks since the car arrived to collect it. Now its new reg day, I want it NOW! The 31 hours will drag more than the previous 7 weeks!

Picking up the mrs' new car this afternoon though (a new Fiat 500 she's called Luigi - dear me) so I'll share her excitement till tomorrow!

Yep exciting times ahead I still have three weeks to go

What colour is your mrs' new 500? Brilliant little cars, I regularly drive a work one and think its probably the nicest of the wee ones (excl my mini)

I did order the car at the beginning of May so its been nearly 4 months from order, but it arrived in July and I decided to wait. How come you've been waiting that long?

She's gone for Bossa Nova white, a 1.2 lounge with the glass roof. Looks great. Love the BN white.

I test drove it for her and enjoyed the drive, although felt a little 'unmanly'. lol

^ Why so long. Good question. Apparently they missed a build slot. The entire process at my local dealer has not been a good experience.

Oh dear...

Had a similar issue a few years ago when I bought my Z4MC. Hope you get it soon.

Well, couldn't wait till this evening so off to collect the car in 20 mins!

Hey Senwar, dont suppose we are going to see you here for a few days

Just noticed you have xenons on, don't see too many with that option. Beside the safety thing I think it has a visual benefit as well.

Been sat outside in it for a while, playing and setting it all up. Although saying that, went for a leisure drive earlier - but in the mrs' 500!

Yeah I like the xenons and didn't think the price was 2 bad for an extra. They do look nice.

Great colour combo. Are you liking the red interior? Exactly how I wanted mine too in terms of colour. Though I'm still deciding on the trim - black or silver? GREAT looking car.

Yeah loving the interior. The seat colour is my favourite of all cars ive had. My last two have been red leather but the red brown is lovely.
