I won't be getting my new A4 for another 10 days or so.... I'd been told I'd be in the car by the middle of next week, but they have had a delay in shipping due to bad weather.
Whilst one part of me is disappointed, another part is quite relieved.... I want to get the car polished up by the detailing chap that I've used before and he'd need to have reasonable-ish weather. On top of that, if the B8 is as bad in the snow as my B6 then we're best off still having my wife's Toyota for a bit longer; it seems to cope with the snow a lot better!
I felt sorry for the sales guy - he thanked me for being so understanding (I'd said 'not your fault, mate - it's just one of those things). I got the impression he'd made several such calls before mine and I'm guessing everyone else gave him a world of hurt. He's got it flagged as urgent so as soon as they are able they'll do it. A bit of a bummer but there we are.
