Just had email from my dealer to inform me that my car has been consigned to them and allocated with a reg number and they hope to deliver the car to me on the 1st june...fingers crossed as otherwise because of bank holiday it would not be until 6th at best. possibly only 11 more sleeps.....

feeling a little happier now. he's asked me to get the 7 days insurance- so i've done that, and spoke to him. they're waiting for a manual V55 document. they've got to take my registration plate off my current car, put the old one back on it, and move the new plate onto the new car- apparently this is a pain, but they hope to do it before delivery.
Good news is the cover note for the insurance came back within 5 mins, so there is no waiting on that. tense times- trying to do everything possible to make sure that its not me that makes this longer than it has to be |

my dream date is 31st May- as i'm off work that day. hopefully the dealer can tell me soonish if it will be the 1st or not- as i'll book it off work, or half a day, depending on when my pick up time is

My dealer here in Oslo gave me a delivery date 4 weeks in advance. He probably included a day or two as a margin, but nevertheless quite well done.
Nice to have the mind set on a fixed day
