Had about 50 miles on it and was covered in dust from the Sahara.
Obviously been sat in a compound for weeks...
What a great job though, drive brand new cars all over, then catch a train home, whilst being paid.
Awesome.

It sounds like a laugh, until you realise that most of the time they'll be delivering generic hatchbacks and then being stuck in the rain trying to get a lift back.
Good point. I would want to do it for a 'better' marque than Ford.

My dads friend does this, his best story:
drove a a brand new Bentley GT from Birmingham to Edinburgh ........
...... Then had to pick up a milk float from Edinburgh to go back to Stafford in lol
he could only take the A Roads as well :approve:
He was a really nice man actually. I offered him a lift to the station, he politely declined.
Drove past him giving it the full beans down the road when he left ha

I need to stop looking at these bloody threads! It's lead to me being approved for the leasing deal lol

How long do they take to reply with a decision ? and from being accepted how long do you have to order the car ? Could you leave it a week or so ?

I applied at 3pm and she said would take 24 hours for a decision, which funnily I got the acceptance 2 hours later! Quick service!
G2L then asked for a colour and they would email
over a vehicle order form and that's as far as I am dude

Looks mint Matt. Will have to sort a mini meet out so I can have a good look at it!

Ahem.
Glad to see you've changed your tune
I honestly can't believe I have. Genuinely didn't like them, then saw a few on the road and thought they looked abit better. I'm still not a fan of the back of the car if I'm totally honest. A little too fussy for me, and it looks abit too high on the rear quaters.
Perfect mate.
These are the new clio 1*2 IMO. Great fun, practical, cheap to buy&run, they do everything well. Only they're built a little bit better!
Blue is best, red is a close second.
Agree with RDH on the looks though, the back doesn't look brilliant. The front is so aggressive for a fiesta, it makes up for it.

Checked your tyre pressures yet? Front 36 rear 26.
I've just checked mine after giving specific instructions to the tyre fitters on Saturday... They obviously couldn't get their heads around what I asked them to do and gave me 30 on the back instead. Idiots.
And LOL at the love for these now. People are finally starting to see what I've been banging on about for the last year!

Is that right?!? Not checked them yet no...
I have to pop to Sainsburys shortly, and I'm actually looking forward to it so I can have a drive.
Brilliant car. I can't think of one thing I don't like about it.
Apart from the passenger door not closing right, and after a 50 mile drive from the dealer, it needing warranty work!

Just got back, love the illuminated sills and the nice little illuminated touches in the car.
Really well thought out IMO.
Seats could do with going down an inch or so though. I'm still used to the Z4 seating position I think (ie - on the floor)

Average. The US manual states specifically a 5 degree minimum ambient temperature for them and it's quite noticeable how the grip's gone once it gets cold. Very good water dispersal though, just not that much grip once they get through it.
Mine lives its life on deserted back roads at relatively low speeds so I'm happy running then year round.
Compared to my non-Recaro 200 I noticed no difference whatsoever.

Sounds odd but trust me it works. I ran them like that, 10psi different, on track and the car is perfectly balanced.
I'll make sure the dealer has done them correctly then.
Mark, what oil are you using for it?

Oil?
No idea...although I do know it's a very specific formula for the EcoBoost engines...and apparently half the dealerships don't know or use the right stuff.
Mine's not consumed a drop of it in 17k miles.

That's good to know! The Z4 used to burn oil after a long drive.
No they didn't mate, just a delivery date (which was a few weeks away).

thanks mate
they added my order to the Live ford system yesterday and they said their "[FONT="]admin team will be in contact with you next to organise proofs, finance documents and a more accurate delivery date"

good point, I didn't realise it was a stock car
they said mid June to me, so guessing it will be built?
Had a spirited drive this afternoon. The thing just keeps getting better, it really does.
Was on the motorway on the way back and the in-gear pace is brilliant. No lag, 5th gear and whoosh your away.
Overtaking on a b-road in 3rd is effortless. 30 to 80 happens very fast in 3rd
