That's more than reasonable. Still pretty laughable. How difficult is to deliver a car?!

Agreed.

Also my Sunday morning will now involve a V10 roof down drive from Bath to London with the sat nav set to 'avoid motorway'

Could be worse.

Needed OEM springs put back on and a subsequent DRC adjustment (didn't fully understand to be honest). Also needed a gearbox seal replacing and it needed tax.

Martyn just called to say he had sorted it all! Picking it up in an hour.
