The Dogs B******s

Are there many new cars being bought though?

Les

MattW

I normally look out for them, am working in Central London also and can't recall seeing one at all. None round the neighbours either, so anyone here post a pic of their new car??

SVXNUT

I got one arriving in 10 days!!!. Guaranteed its a gas powered Transit for work!!. Still has 145hp though.
Driving 5k a week there seen lots around on the MWays at the moment, but definatly not as many as usual.

boxst

I've seen quite a few -- my neighbours just had someone visiting in an 09 Porsche!

robby

I got my new company Merc on the 2nd - it's now got 1300 miles on the clock

Seem to be plenty round here, I must have seen ten already

bugeyeandy

5k a week do you actually leave your van at any time during the week

SVXNUT

Sometimes No. I sleep in the cabs. Welcome to the life of a courier.
The 5k is split over 4 different vans that all average 5k a week.

bugeyeandy

I guess you get a new van ever six months or so? I can't say I envy your job though

Snazy

Unlike previous years its certainly taken longer to start seeing them, definalty not seen as many.

Geezer

It's notably worse this year, I thought the 58 regs were slow to appear, but I haven't seen a single 09 yet.

Time to buy if you need a new motor, the deals are ridiculous!

Geezer

billythekid

Seen 4 or 5, when 58 came out must have seen more than that on the first day!

SVXNUT

Only place I dread are the London Drops. The 09 is replacing a 57plate with 270k on the clock.
Otherwise apart from the police (6 points and counting) and the occasional idiot, driving around all over the country is not bad.

boomer

...but that means averaging 60mph, for 12 hrs a day, seven days a week!!!!!

That's mental

mb

what would scooby do

White vans and couriers can't do less than 90MPH - FACT!

stuart n

There's quite a few 09 plate Fiesta's round this way.
Pretty sure I spotted an 09 plate 330S as well yesterday

Matteeboy

I've seen four (first was a cheapoX Type horrible Jag) so far and I'm in the backwaters of Corrrrrrnwall!

Spotted an 09 Cayman S with lovely black alloys last night BUT it was bright ORANGE!

you'll see more to the end of the month as deals for "09" plates only really started getting going late feb, early march, proberly on stock cars etc.

XRS

I've seen quite a few, but they have mostly been micro-sized cars driven by old folk. Biggest I've seen is a 307CC.

ScoobyWon't

I got one in December (on a 58 obviously), the only 3 door Zetec-S, around here, with the full boy-racer kit. Since then I've seen a steady trickle of 5 door versions, but I had to wait 8 weeks for mine to be built. After all of that waiting, I've still not managed to do a thousand miles!

NotoriousREV

I ordered my 09 car in Jan but it's not due until May

Jamescsti
