Had the GM of the OP dealership on the case this past few days. He has been absolutely brilliant. In short, I am getting a white HSE, ebony interior that landed at the dealer yesterday at a very good price. He was apologetic for what I had gone through and really came through with the goods. Absolutely stoked:). Should be picking it up next week from the dealer.
Great to hear, Cambo. Meanwhile mine still hasn't arrived at the dealer. Looks like later next week :(
Well I'll Happily eat my words.;)Quote:

Oh great. So now everyone has their D4 except me.
Don't worry about me. I'll just sit here and sulk.
James, you do realise that you jinxed yourself as soon as you started this thread don't you? ;)Quote:

Friday lunchtime i got the call that my car would be ready at 3pm. The trouble is I was walking out the door to the office Christmas Party.. The office team gave me permission to wag the party and pick up the car as long as I came back and gave them all a lift home! Nice try team.
Anyway I was at Southerns at 8am and was on the road out of there by 9. Spent Saturday morning showing my elderly parents and taking them for a drive to my sister's. They gave the access mode the tick of approval. My Dad is 97 and climbing into the Defender was a bit of a trial for him:)
After doing the suburban tour I took it down to a mates farm, we drove down some fire breaks and through some paddocks to play with the modes. So by sundown it was covered in black dust and some cow poo. Sunday it was washed and I headed back to Perth.
400km:D:D
I'm so pleased, I loved my Defender but this car just eats the miles in total comfort, music playing. It is silent except for a bit of wind noise. Amazing. When I got back towards Perth and the traffic on the free built up, I was fine with it. Slowed down, let people in, kicked back and relaxed.
I'm going to do a lot of miles in this car.
James, I'll bet all that waiting made the first drives all the sweeter.:D
