Hooray! Car is ready for delivery NOW!
But..... I go on holiday on Wednesday so I have to delay delivery until the 12th November.
But..... I might have to fly out to Boston on business on the 12th November so will have to delay delivery until the 19th November.
But..... I've been offered a transfer to the US and if goes ahead I might have to cancel the car altogether (dealer has very kindly agreed to accept a £10k cancellation fee on a delivery mileage, fully specced 530d. How generous)
It looks like I'm fated never to drive this car.
