Milano CTR arrived!

Milano_Jon · 31st July 2007, 12:56

Got it!!!!

Picked up 7075 on Friday night and did 400 miles over the weekend. Mixture of recommended run in (via Wiki) and gentler (due to traffic!). Not gone past 5500rpm yet...

Awesome car - best i've ever owned. Got so many thumbs up from other drivers and everyone looks as you drive by!!

Hello again to the NHB and MR CTR's that waved in Weston Super Mare!

Few gripes so far -

dash noise is SO annoying! 2 places, 1 by driver side air vent. Pressure on triangle shaped trim stops it. Other by radio buttons somewhere, but i cant find it.

interior trim very easy to mark, trainer scuffs on door, even tho i'm gentle, seatbelt marks on centre console and door pillar

front suspension clonks when reversing off my drive at full lock

delivery valet was appauling - going back for a full re-valet asap! Smears over windows, dash dusty, supaguard still wet on carpet etc!

MP3 reading is really slow - anyone else get this?

Other than that, enjoying it immensly and cant wait to get back in to commute home (the long way of course!). Seat is taking a bit of getting used to. I cant get totally confortable yet, but i am an XL so probably not designed for me!

Nice one

MP3 reading - there are a couple of threads about this in the Electronics section - less tracks on the CD makes a big difference

FWH · 31st July 2007, 18:31

Sounds like the usual problems..

thespacecowboy · 31st July 2007, 20:15

mp3 reading does take a long time. It has to read through each and every directory and track in turn, so imagine the time it takes a normal CD and then multiply by difference in number of tracks! It's not that slow, but gives you some idea

czechplastik · 31st July 2007, 21:48

I find the interior is very hard to keep clean and the plastic marks very easily. Guess you can't have everything.

Envy................
Only 400 miles over a whole week-end?

Alwaysblack · 31st July 2007, 22:26

Cannot take anymore tonight.
Going to bed and hopefully dream of receiving that phone call...........
Your car is ready...

thespacecowboy · 1st August 2007, 08:56

Is that the faint ring of a 'phone I hear?

Alwaysblack · 1st August 2007, 15:56

Sadly not..........
I take it this waiting lark only gets worse?

Oh yes!
My dealer is on holiday this week, so no updates for me this week.
Guess who I am calling on Monday morning!!

Car was supposed to arrive in the country begining of August....

Great to hear the Reds are fighting back against those NHB's

Those squeaks and rattles, although should not be there, will soon get sorted by your stealer (He's probably had hundreds back already!)

Love your 'R', you're not alone!

Where the pics then?

Alanr147 · 3rd August 2007, 22:08

Thats spooky ordered my GT in NHB on 28 June too!
I was originally told Sept 1 no prob, they'd have car in mid August. Salesman now saying it looks like Sept 22...another monthof frustration

Alwaysblack · 4th August 2007, 00:24

Alan
You going for the Sat Nav?
I think that is the main reason why I have a 20 week wait, not just because of the NHB.
How you holding up?...................Waiting!

Alanr147 · 4th August 2007, 08:46

Welcome here lad.

Keep informed of the waiting time by going to:

Every little helps.
