    Well as some of you may know, my R56 experience hasn't been the best, however the car is being replaced.

    It was ordered on the 5th June and by the 20th June it was consigned. Should arrive at Menzies on Monday. I find it incredible that they can do it that fast when I waited nearly 10 weeks for this car.. Fingers crossed the main issues have been dealt with.

    Also got a recorded delivery letter today stating that my current car needs work on the connection between the cat and the turbo manifold cos when it gets to about 15000 miles it starts to leak exhaust gases.. Glad it is going... :(

    Maybe the news about your lemon has got out, and they're not selling well!

    Seriously though, good luck with the new one.:)

    Ahem.:mad: Doesn't always work though does it. 10 Week delay. No bitching, reasoning, persuading, bribing or pleading made any difference in the world.

    So Craig

    Are you going to let us know what spec you have gone for this time. Even a wee clue as to the colour would be a treat.

    When is your date for hand over of the new car.
