Pencilling in 21st Sept... Weather permitting!

[Pulse]

Just a little drive setting off from Swindon or thereabouts, onto someplace else with roads.

Put your name down if you'd like a little drive. Will update a couple of days before with weather, and if it's happening or not.

It's you singing, that's what's making it rain

Oh yeah I'm in...

Nah, I've said that it was Jen's parent's fault. They bought a convertible, and ever since then, it's been bloody raining!

Yep that'll do it....

Have you got your new car yet?

Yep, got it on Monday morning mate. Dead happy with it, even if it is scratched already.

[Luckyluciano]

How have you managed that?

I haven't! It was like it when I picked it up, but didn't notice it. Lots of fine scratches, which are only noticable from about 1 metre or less, but are still bad. Not spoken to the dealer yet, as they haven't called me back. Failing that, hoping they can be polished out, but doubtful unfortunately as they are quite bad.

Still, I'm not letting that take the shine off the new car, and I absolutely love being back in a VXR. It's a whole different experience to the SRi... Recaros, Nicer engine note, MUCH nicer exhaust note, and just looks a whole load better.

Haha, I've taken some pics actually, and already uploaded them, so will try and get them on here ASAP.

If you need any help with the paintwork problem give me a shout, i know a thing or two about car paint!!!!

[Pulse]

Cheers mate, I will do. Just waiting to hear back from the dealership to see if they will sort this for me. I doubt it though. I'm not stressing though, as it's not noticable to anyone except me being picky.

[Pulse]

Pics for you lot. Will do a proper post in the Reader's Cars at some point.

At the dealership, waiting for me



My old SRi in the background



Aaaah, which one is mine? (The other one is my old one!)

[Luckyluciano]

Very nice mate esp the colour.

Cheers buddy! Can't wait to 'show it off' to you lot (even though most are in more expensive cars!)

I've got word from Vauxhall, and they are paying £30 towards fixing the scratches, which should cover it by the looks of the kind people on Detailing World!

[Pulse]

I don't know if I can wait to show it off actually. What are the usual suspects doing these evenings?

[redbarron84]

not much here....although i'm working friday and saturday days.......and nights sunday and monday night. Other then then i'm game!

[Luckyluciano]

I got man flu at the moment....

Plus it looks like your going to need a boat rather than a car.

As soon as it's dry i'll come and have a look

[Pulse]

Yep, looks like we're in for a rainy few days, so the car won't be coming out. I don't see the point. Hope it brightens up though.

[Xenocide]

Back to a knuckle-dragging VXR then?

I reckon it'd easily beat you in a straight line AND round the twisties though
