My car Type R GT Ordered Today

IanG · 18th December 2007, 15:22

Been to the dealers today and ordered a Type R GT in Milano Red - Reversing Sensors and Ipod Connector (I know it doesn't do what it's supposed to) Mudflaps, Carpet Mats and Space Saver wheel

Delivery date is hopefully 1st March and cant wait

Now just counting down the days till I can hand back my Accord EX to the company only 74 sleeps to go!!

Funny how you have to wait 3 months. I waited 4 weeks. Dealer said its because I had Sat Nav and they are always in stock, but if I didn't it would have been 3 months. The things they tell you!!!

I could have had it on 8th Jan but would rather wait now until the 08 plates are out on 1st March it's only 74 Days not that I'm counting

I've still got the Accord which will do me until I have to hand it back in March for some other lucky person. Then hopefully my tax code will get back to normal

You have the patience of a saint Ian, but I can see the logic in it. Enjoy your car anyway. Great choice of car and colour.

Wow I do admire your patience. The 3 months i had to wait for mine was unbearable.

You will love it

Like the R in red but not as fast as black

Why not get it in January and put a private plate on it,then nobody would know when it was registered,just an idea.

Congratulations. Great Choice.....I say you are right waiting until March, hopefully by then the weather will be much better for driving it in. Seen as I almost had mines written off three times today.

You will love it!

Yes like Angie says it'll not be much fun in January or February in a brand spanking new car. I'm dreading them.

Yeah, cold weather, soft paint, gritters, tyres not properly bedded in, ditto with the brakes all equals disaster and chuck in a few old grannys who cant drive for good measure and you'd defo be crying within the first few days.

With my name getting a private plate isn't that easy. Mind did see "1 AN" available a fews years ago and they only wanted £55000.00 for it

It's been bad enough in the Accord avoiding all the nutter christmas shoppers this last couple of weeks. Yesterday I was in Newcastle for a meeting and could have quite happily throttled one guy in a car park - nutter couldn't drive

Also in march it'll be warmer so detailing the car will be easier???
