Disco Built awaiting transport........!
Dealer rang today to say car built and awaiting a transporter to bring it all the way down to Cornwall..... now getting excited (sad.... its only a tin box!)...... should be here next week?
So, tonight sent the dealer a 'gentle' email reminding them to get the parts in for dealer fitting, mud flaps, side steps, luggage and rubber mats, and also to get the tracker fitted together with front and rear 'Vision Drive' Incident cameras...... and also to ensure I'm not left with paint 'swirls' due to poor washing technique..... 2016MY Discovery HSE - Black

Personally I'd buy a Cruiser and not waste your money

Exciting stuff - roll on next week
I wonder if that means that mine's waiting for a lift too?
Looks like we may have to arrange that breakfast meet up sooner, rather than later....

Perhaps we need it made clear whether that's a Land Cruiser or a PT Cruiser!!!Andy

£749 plus £189 PA or £549 for 3 yrs... ...... I know! .... but goes a little way towards 'peace of mind' ..... provided they don't kick the door down to get the fobs!
Insurance co. didn't want to know w/out!....2016MY Discovery HSE - Black

Red Merie .... yes John, I was thinking the same .... would be surprised if yours wasn't parked next to mine waiting.....
I had to choose the reg. today .... haven't done that since my last new car back in 2000 ..... felt like a 'kid in a sweet shop'...... 2016MY Discovery HSE - Black

Bloody hell, you'd think they'd fit it as standard really. Well mine will just have to stay tucked up inside my garage. If they want it they can take it as I won't put up a fight, ill just get the insurance to do the job I pay for

For me ..... when paying nearly £60K for a car its a no brainer..... almost the same price as LR side steps for example ...... you could also argue the car should also come ready equipped with front and rear incident cameras..... not even an LR option on any model as I understand....
I wouldn't want the car back after its been nicked and ragged...... but at least with a tracker it shouldn't have gone too far and I understand it makes them more difficult to nick in the first place..? not sure on that one though....
ste m ... you must have a big high garage! .....the average garage (most used for storage anyway) is much too low ..... and of course its not for when at home necessarily... its when its parked elsewhere.... 2016MY Discovery HSE - Black
