im counting down with ya bud, i know the excitement of a new car and the wait kills me lol

car you getting mate?

Awesome.....can't wait for the "First Impressions write up" :)

ha I know them last few days waiting for a new car to arrive are killer slow ! looks gorgeous though ,, good luck and hope it arrives early :-)

Waiting is painful. I've got the same wheels as you but in silver. I'm not usually a fan of black wheels but am thinking about having them 'painted black'

I'm also looking forward to some pictures and a wee writeup.
I saw a lovely C63 last week in Mercedes Belfast when my wife collected her new A200.

ill do you a write up and videos, my dads also a pro photographer and will tyest out his latest Nikon 800e on it.
Ive also got a new in car dashcam for it, as well as the new Sony AS100 Action Cam for another view......

Ill also shoot some 4k videos for whoevers got a 4k tv lol

Looking forward to seeing it too; still not seen one!

I can't believe how long you've had to wait; mine was five weeks from order day and that was with Christmas and NY in the middle!

UPDATE !!!!

Its here ready tomorrow, yehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

to be honest Matt I prob should have rung round, but it helped me save 3K...

5 weeks is good, Audi or golf was 16 weeks.

I aint seen one yet either, considering there are 365 in the Uk somewhere

LOL, you won't sleep tonight:D

Bring it to the MSL dyno day on 9/10 August .... we needs some A45s there!

Is that all?! No wonder I haven't seen one; plenty of wannabee versions though, usually tarted up 220CDIs with AMG bodykit.

A fair few of mine around (although I've only seen half a dozen) but our California model is one of 181 in the UK; sort of rare!

I've noticed that rather like the M135i, some of the motoring press have already got bored of the A45 and moved onto the Golf R as their latest hot hatch darling. Such a fickle bunch!!

and if by Magic the MF has arrived

Christ, I'm feeling excited for you too!

Epic day; make sure you enjoy it!

Check it over VERY carefully though, especially the paint finish, just in case.

And have fun! Is there a run in period/mileage?

yeah 1500KM

Hope you don't play golf lol you won't get them clubs in the boot
Amazing car mate you lucky bugger

tried Golf not for me :) Maybe when im 50

That looks good in red see you have gone for the aero package, nice.

I know we spoke about them earlier in the year and you put me onto the Leeds garage, I've decided against one, as I personally found the ride a bit too harsh, and got offered a better deal by Audi.
Do like those wheels on it - hope you enjoy it

best thing of all is, I added aero later and because of that, the cars seem to hold the residual, hence my payments per month have come down a massive 30 quid. WOW well chuffed.

cant have it till tomorrow afternoon, this wait is gonna kill me..

Omg
You won't be sleeping tonight
Just so exciting when you order a new car and the countdown

Looks superb In the red with the wing to help the boy racer /youngest within yourself


Look forward to the photos

Looks great, but I'm still not sure about the wing, all IMO of course :thumb:

It's a marmite thing is that wing, but adding it keeps the selling price higher

Must bring back memories of going to bed on Christmas eve as an exited little boy

Sooo exciting

Enjoy

BGW FTW :)

i know exactly how you feel ted, as this was me last week, although from the initial order to collection i only had to wait 7 days :p

A couple pages of them on autotrader for sale with a few thousand miles second hand. It would seem that a few have changed their mind and subsequently you can get one for 35k.

At that sort of money there coming my way so would consider going to have a look. It does seem to have it all,4 doors, 4wd, good mpg, a turbo to tune and good looks.:thumb:

i like these cars, but i couldn't live with its looks. The one i test drove a few months ago was no way as good as the new STi when pushing it hard into the corners either imo.

Think it looks awesome. Pics when you get it please!

I would have thought that it's a bit understeery with a lot of electronic aids. :wonder:

I think the looks are ok, going of secondhand ones that are for sale the aero pack doesn't seem to hold its value as the op suggested so would keep it a bit more merc than focus RS looking.

Don't think it will be long till you can pick one up for less than the new Sti whether new or used. But on the other hand, aftermarket seems to be a bit expensive so wont be long till one of John's 400bhp Sti passes you.
