Settling down for the long wait

Being in IT myself - Audi could reduce the overhead on the Dealers by building an app that pulls the data from the system that the dealers check. Could be secured on a decent password, overlaid on google maps, etc etc. I guess not much different to the dpd parcel system or alike.

Then I wouldn't feel like a pain in the arse checking it all the time.

You could even run a device at the final stage so that it gives an image of the car as it begins it's journey, all automated onto one of those devices that the parcel guys use for the scanning of barcodes.

Maybe a chance for you to contact Audi and make some money

Thats good news aswell mate. The bank holiday weekend might be possible if you dealer can PDI it quick enough

I'm hoping for a blast down to Cornwall bank holiday weekend so hopefully it'll be here by then!
Is it advisable to take it easy for the first few miles??
Not had a performance car before so any advice welcome!

Just don't redline it from day 1. I drove mine pretty hard from day 1 and 13k later and it still works.

I think these cars are good to go - I want to goto Scubafest!!! and I'll need an estate for that.....

Sneaky suspicion btw the way: I reckon that the dealers are on / running a month 1 kick start type program. Gentlemen, i'd not be surprised if these cars are with us by hook or crook to get the m1 money in the bank, i.e. We're off to a cracking start!!! OR. The car sales guys need to bank bonus for summer holiday, which is usually one month behind, end of April mean end of May means dosh for summer hols.

Salesman rang again this morning.
'Apologies but I made a mistake yesterday'
At least a couple of weeks till I see my car. Which probably means a month!
Change of plan for bank holiday now!
