Something very surreal happened today......
.... I saw my car!!!!!!!!!!!! Nearly 6 months to the date of order. There is was very 'naked' including sprigs of French foliage and some French mud. It had been off the transporter about 2 hours. In fact it was still in 'delivery' mode i.e. the key would not work the boot etc
But there it was....... I had to blink a few times and pinch myself. Having been a bit poorly this week with some weird stomach bug, I thought maybe I was still halucinating. But I touched it and it was cold metal.
OMG!
Andy, the guy dealing with my handover, had rung me with the news earlier in the day. In fact he said he signed for the delivery and was straight on the phone. Bizarrely I have 2 days off, so went straight over to sort out regsitration, insurance etc So I was seeing the car with all the protection wrapper still on it etc
But to me it looked beautiful!!!!
He said he would get it through the workshop asap and I could pick it up tomorrow afternoon. So he wrote the pick up date down on the paperwork........ Friday 13th December........ he looked at me and I looked at him and virtually together we said " shall we make it Saturday morning!". I think after all the problems with order it was probably tempting fate to pick it up on Friday 13th!
So not long to wait now........
But this all still seems really weird. After sooooooooo long I might actually get to drive my new car!
