I sincerely hope so. Although I'm hoping they have a better method than slinging it off! [emoji15]

You would think so, though when my Dad worked at Ford he was right by the car conditioning center, he said the number of cars that came off the ships and needed stuff like new bumpers and damage touching up you wouldn't believe! All this before it goes to someone to pickup what they think is their shiny, untouched and immaculate new car!
La la la not listening la la, it'll all be shiny and perfect... [emoji85]

Don't worry I will still be thinking the same despite what I been told, as long as it looks perfect when I pick it up I don't care!

Mid January. I got in on the last build week. Love to say it was planned but utter fluke. That said. It hasn't turned up just yet.

Mine is at stage 5a whatever that is. On a lorry to the ferry I think? Yours is coming really quickly. Ordered mine mid December.

Mine was on the build week w/c 18th Jan, has been in transit for 2 weeks so far..so I hope it docks in the UK tomorrow! That being said, mine will be delivered at the start of March because I wanted a 16 plate

Nah had the tyre done elsewhere. There was a rattle on the passenger side (light behind the sun visor) and side skirt was loose. Said the side skirt that came in today was damaged so they've had to order another.
Got a TSI as a courtesy car

Does the theory of hire cars handling on rails apply in this instance?
