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.

I would wait until February 1st to get this weather out of the way !! Continue the delay if weather continues as it is

Delayed again... aparantly they have a bit of a backlog in Belgium, so it's still there waiting to get on the boat. Whilst there are 3 boats over the next 3 days it's still not guaranteed that my car will be on one of them :(

Just one of those things though. No-one is really enjoying this weather... Still possible for early next week I guess and at least the snow may have cleared up a bit by then. Completely lethal outside here again today...
