What do you mean you don't have heated seats? Course you do, I've seen the switches on your car!

What we don't have (on any Z06) is adjustable lumbar support.

XM radio is US only satellite radio. (DAB would have been a nice option for us, but they're not going to start inventing new electronics for us.)

Just above the ashtray with the heated seat symbol on them!

I expect you to point out all your car's features to Tiff and co tomorrow!

I think the steering wheel controls are an '07 thing.

The 'feature' I missed until browsing the manual after a few months, was voice activation, for certain functions, sat/nav, radio, etc..... But as 'voice activation lady' can't hear properly over the noise of the engine, it doesn't have too much use when not stationary. She has NO chance in David's car

All Uk cars come loaded with all the options on the Z06 aprt from the sat-nav or met paint I think are the only options. The standard C6 comes with Z51 as standard in the UK rather then another option like the US cars thats why when you see comes for sale new at the Grey import dealers they are missing half the options!

I agree with Eric..... teacher

If you would like to spend several thousand pounds for volume controls I have a Le Mans blue car available for July!

Seems like GM did a good job with this lady - I often find my [real] lady also having difficulty in hearing me, nor having too much use when not stationary (moving around, ahem).

I'll get my coat.

I guess SOMEONE can't have explained the controls properly...

Am on the 5th Gear set now. More interesting than I thought. Lips sealed until the 18th though...

I know a bit about the fifth gear set. Corvette UK were meant to supply a car, but they don't have one at the moment.
That 'Someone' hands over aston martins now, so all he needs to know is the roadside assistance number!

Parklane guys, whilst on the subject of sale/delivery/handovers....

When a car is due for service, what is your procedure for collection? I took delivery of my Z06 back in Jan and I think expectations where given that you may no longer be offering to new customers.

When your car is due a service, give Claire a call at our showroom (0207 318 5323).

As it currently stands, for Corvette customers, we offer either [driven] collection and delivery of your car and use of a loan car, or we will collect the car on a transporter.

The transporter option is not economically viable for us, but until we have a greater number of service centres (i.e. Weybridge next year for London), it is the only way that we can provide a decent level of customer service.

IIRC that is for as long as one keeps the car, to make a person feel special enough to want to buy another one later?

All went well yesterday James, apart from the car-washer-boy across the road putting three new scratches on the car and me driving over some metallic debris on the way back! The important bits were good though.

Yes, that's correct. I think a Z06 probably makes you feel special enough already though.

I Think the CTS is great I like the TV option! Not too sure on trying to put LPG in it!!
I will stick with petrol, My only thing missing is an interior handle to close the boot from the inside. The car handles very nice very quite & very smooth reminds me of the STS I had overall a nice car I think the 19" wheels would give it a mean look along with the grill it has on it
