We dealt with Rob, the sales manager. He was great to deal with. I rate him 12 out of 10. The State Manager is going to get a letter praising him his service was so good.

On top of that we got invited to the Corporate Box for the Titans vs Raiders game tomorrow! And will get a loan of an demo R for a weekend at some point.

Got my GTD yesterday. It's awesome! Sure a pleasure to drive.

What was very funny though, was that I ordered it in Candy White with Black Cloth seats, which they told me would arrive in 8 - 9 weeks.
Two weeks ago, I saw a Red one at the dealership and I got to thinking that I liked the Red one better, so I emailed them to ask what specs the Red one they had in stock had, and they said that that particular one had ACC and SatNav and other stuff I didn't want (as I had only ordered the base model). Ah well, Candy White with Black Cloth it is then I thought...
When I went to pick it up yesterday, I was presented with a shiny new Tornado Red GTD with Tartan seats. My wife and I stared in silence for about 10 seconds before telling the salesman that we have ordered a White one. I think he nearly had a heart attack, haha! He asked if we were joking and said that the paperwork I had signed when were ordered it said Tornado Red. I told him it was definitely Candy White. But then I told him that I had actually been thinking that the Red ones look better and that I would have preferred Tartan seats to the Black Cloth, so I was happy with this one.

When we got home, I checked my paperwork from when I ordered it, and it said Candy White DSG with Black Cloth - so I have absolutely no idea how I ended up with a Tornado Red DSG with Tartan seats in my garage, but I'm as happy as larry!
